The admin
A quick tour of the store admin and where each feature lives.
The admin is a thin client over the GraphQL API. Everything here is also available programmatically.
Layout
- Products — catalog, attributes, categories, collections, inventory.
- Orders — quotes, orders, invoices, shipments, credit memos.
- Customers — profiles, tiers, loyalty, segments.
- Content — pages, blog, menus, media, and custom content types.
- Online store — themes & the customizer, domains, preferences.
- Discounts — cart (sales) rules and catalog price rules.
- Marketing — campaigns and rules.
- Settings — store config, translations/languages, API keys, team.
Tip
On a content site (commerce_enabled = false), the commerce-only menus
(Orders, Products as a shop surface) are hidden and the ecom storefront routes
404 by design.
The customizer
The visual theme editor edits a draft of your theme — settings (palette, fonts) and sections. Publish to go live; you can roll back. Deeper theme work is covered in Themes, customizer & Liquid.
