Admin Dashboard
Welcome to the AEX Ecommerce admin dashboard — your central command center for running your store. From here you can manage products, process orders, track revenue, oversee staff, and configure every aspect of your store’s operation.
Two Admin Roles
AEX Ecommerce has two roles that can access the dashboard:
| Role | Who it’s for | What they can do |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | The store owner | Full access — store settings, staff management, all products, orders, customers, and analytics |
| Manager | Hired staff / team members | Day-to-day operations — products, orders, and customers. Cannot access store settings or staff management |
[!NOTE] Only an Owner can invite or remove staff members, change store settings, or view financial configuration.
Dashboard Sections
Use the sidebar to navigate between the main areas of the dashboard:
- Store Setup — Configure your store name, logo, contact details, currency, and legal information
