Admin Dashboard
The admin dashboard is the store-owner side of ShopNest — a separate, access-controlled area for running the store. From it, administrators manage the catalog, fulfill orders, oversee customers and reviews, publish content, and read analytics.
What admins can manage
The dashboard brings store operations together:
- Products — add, edit, and organize catalog items and their details.
- Orders — view and update order statuses through fulfillment.
- Users — manage customer accounts and roles.
- Categories — structure the catalog into browsable groups.
- Reviews — moderate shopper reviews.
- Posts & content — write blog articles and manage site content.
- Analytics — read sales and activity metrics.
- Settings — configure store-wide options.
Access control
The admin area is gated behind authentication and admin roles, so only authorized accounts reach it. Shoppers never see the dashboard; it's a distinct surface from the storefront.
Analytics
The analytics view summarizes store activity — orders, sales, and engagement — so an owner can see how the store is doing at a glance. Charts present the data visually for quick reading.
