Store owner panel

This article is a tour of the store owner panel as a store manager sees it after signing in: what the dashboard shows, how the menu is organised and where each task lives. Everything on these screens is already filtered to the manager's own store — the numbers, the charts and the lists never include other stores.

### Signing in and out

Open `/store` on any domain of the installation. If you are not signed in you get the panel login page at `/store/login`; sign in with your customer email and password. When you are already signed in on the storefront, the account menu shows a **Store portal** button that opens the panel. To leave, open your email address in the top-right corner and choose **Logout**.

### The header

- **Store** badge (top left) — the name of the store you manage. It cannot be changed here; the store comes from your account.
- **Dark mode** switch — toggles the panel between light and dark.
- Your **email** — opens the user menu with **Logout**.
- **Info** icon — links to documentation, the community and release notes.
- **Home** icon — opens the storefront.

### The dashboard

**Dashboard → Dashboard** is the landing page. The date range button in the top right (by default the current month) sets the period of the two charts.

| Block | What it shows |
|---|---|
| **Online visitors** | Visitors of your store active within the online window (20 minutes by default, set by the administrator in customer settings). |
| **Active shopping carts** | Carts in your store changed within the last 60 minutes (by default). |
| **Today orders** | Total value and number of orders placed in your store today. |
| **Number of registered customers in time** | New registrations in your store per day in the selected range. |
| **Orders in time** | Number of orders and total sales per day in the selected range. |
| **Latest orders** | The most recent orders of your store with payment status and total. **View more** opens **Sales → Orders**. |

Scroll down for the charts and the latest orders of the store.

### Statistics and online customers

**Dashboard → Statistics** shows two bestseller tables for your store: **Bestsellers by quantity** and **Bestsellers by amount**, each with total quantity and total amount excluding tax. Click a product name to open it.

Dashboard → Statistics: bestsellers of this store.

**Dashboard → Online customers** lists the visitors of your store who are online now: customer (or Guest), IP address, last activity and last visited page. The last visited page is recorded only when the administrator enables **Store last visited page** in the customer settings; otherwise the column says the setting is disabled.

### The menu

The left menu is icon-based; click a group to open its flyout, then pick the screen. Only entries allowed by the Store manager group permissions are listed, so your menu may be shorter than the one below.

Click a menu group to open its flyout.

What the store owner panel does not have at all: plugin management, stores, permissions, countries, measures, vendors, affiliates, customer groups and tags, newsletter, campaigns, scheduled tasks, logs, import/export and system maintenance. Those stay with the administrator in `/admin`.

### Lists and editors

Screens work the same way as in the Admin panel: a list with **Filters** and a grid, an **Add new** button where you are allowed to create, and an editor with tabs and **Save** / **Save and Continue Edit**. Two things are specific to this panel:

- There is never a **Stores** picker in an editor. What you create belongs to your store automatically.
- Items the administrator created for all stores (or for several stores) can appear in lists. They open with a warning such as "You can't edit this product, because it is not yours." and without write buttons — see [Catalog in the store owner panel](https://grandnode.com/store-panel-catalog).
