Find your way around the admin panel
The admin panel is where you run your store: orders, products, customers, delivery, marketing and settings. This guide walks through the sidebar, the top bar and the Home page, so you know where everything lives in the admin panel and how to get back to your website editor.
The sidebar
The sidebar on the side of the screen holds every section. Click a section with an arrow to open its sub-pages.
- Home: today's numbers, your setup checklist and quick actions.
- Website: your homepage sections (Website), uploaded files (Assets) and SEO.
- Orders: every order from your site.
- Products: Products, Categories, Inventory, Discounts and Invoices.
- Delivery: delivery settings and your Locations.
- Customers: your customer list.
- Analytics: sales and traffic reports, plus Live View.
- Campaigns: Loyalty, Emails and Forms (your form submissions).
- Addons: extra features and integrations you can install.
- Settings: store details, languages, currency, payments, policies, favicon and more.
Sections that appear with addons
Some sections only show up after you install the matching addon. Examples are Point of Sale, Markets, Appointments and Sales Channels.
Don't use a section? Hide it from Settings, then Navigation. You can show it again any time.
The top bar of the admin panel
The top bar shows the name of the page you're on. While your site is offline, it also shows a PUBLISH button.
Click Edit Site to open the website editor. On a phone, tap the menu icon to open the sidebar.
The Home page
Home greets you with Total sales, Total orders, Avg. order value and Customers. Below that, the Set up your website checklist tracks your first steps.
Quick buttons let you Add Product, Edit Website, start a New Campaign or Create Invoice. You can also type a question in the Ask Barq AI box, such as asking for this week's sales.
Switch stores and check alerts
At the bottom of the sidebar you'll see your store name. Click Dashboard under it to see all your websites, then click another site to manage it.
The bell icon opens Alerts. Use Suggestions & Issues to send us feedback or report a problem.
