Dashboard tour
The DZBuild dashboard is your command center for everything: products, orders, customers, marketing, billing, themes, addons, custom domains. This page walks through every section so you know where things live.
Top bar
- Language switcher — Arabic ⇄ French for the dashboard interface.
- Light / dark theme toggle.
- Android app link — shown only when you open the dashboard on an Android device.
- View store — opens your live storefront in a new tab.
- Profile dropdown — Account settings, Help center (these docs), Logout.
The dashboard has no notification bell and no notification feed. /dashboard/notifications is where you configure where new-order alerts are delivered (browser/app push, email, Telegram, Discord), not where you read them. A new order does pop as a live toast without refreshing, but only on two pages: the orders list at /dashboard/orders and the Advanced Orders page. The dashboard home shows no toast, but it adds the new order to its recent orders and updates its counters without a refresh. Other dashboard pages show nothing, so keep the orders list open if you want the toast.
The store picker lives in the sidebar, not the top bar — see Multi-store below.
Sidebar — every section, with paths
| Section | Path | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Home | /dashboard | KPIs at a glance — today's revenue, orders, top products. |
| Products | /dashboard/products | List, search, filter, edit, hide, set Draft, and bulk-delete or bulk-update products. There is no archive action. |

| Advanced orders | /dashboard/orders/advanced | CRM-style order management — sub-statuses, logged call attempts, change history (requires the Advanced Order Management addon). |
| Customers | /dashboard/customers | Buyers across all orders, plus a fraud console: a per-customer fraud score, a blacklist view, and ban / unban for repeat no-show buyers. |

The grid holds 102 tiles (Yalidine, Yalitec, Guepex, Easy & Speed, Maystro, ZR Express, Abex Express, NOEST, Zimou, Colivraison, Ecom Delivery, DHD, Conexlog, MSM Go and more), and one of those 102 is a custom-Ecotrack tile for any courier running on the Ecotrack platform. |

| Customize Digital | /dashboard/customize/digital | The one theme with its own separate editor page. |
| Addons | /dashboard/addons | 25 add-ons ship with the platform. Twenty of them render as installable cards you switch on here. Product Reviews, Facebook Catalog and A/B Testing sit in the Management tools section instead, alongside Team, Google Sheets, Product Add-ons and two built-in toggles that are not add-ons at all (Promo Codes, Countdown & Urgency); the Claude and ChatGPT add-ons sit under External platforms, next to the Ecomanager, FlashManager and Octomatic connections.

Three things about this list:
- The add-on-driven pages (Advanced orders, Advanced analytics, A/B tests, Reviews, Stock management, Short links, Webhooks, WhatsApp messages, Pickup points, Min/max quantity) only appear in the sidebar once the matching add-on is active.
- Promo codes, Team and Product addons have no sidebar entry of their own: open them from their cards in Addons → Management tools. AI credits opens from the landing pages screens.
- The
/dashboard/digital/*group appears, and Shipping rates and Link couriers disappear, on stores using the Digital theme.
An expired plan takes the storefront offline for buyers, and until you renew the dashboard narrows to a few pages: home, subscribe, settings, account, notifications, affiliate, AI credits and domains. Nothing is deleted: your products, orders and settings are waiting when the plan is active again.
What to do first
If your store is brand new, here's the recommended order:
- Add 2-3 real products with proper photos. See Add your first product.
- Set up shipping rates in
/dashboard/shipping(per wilaya or flat), then link a courier account in/dashboard/link-shipping. - Nothing to connect for payments on a physical-goods store: every order is Cash on Delivery and checkout has no payment-method step. Digital-product stores instead configure buyer payment methods at
/dashboard/digital/payment: CIB / Edahabia card through your own Slick-Pay account, or a manual method (CCP, BaridiMob, Redot Pay or a custom method) where the buyer transfers and uploads a receipt. - Customize your storefront — pick a theme in
/dashboard/themes, set your colors and logo in/dashboard/customize. - Place a test order as a customer to see the full flow end to end.
- Connect your Facebook Pixel in
/dashboard/pixelsbefore you launch ads. - (Optional) Connect your custom domain in
/dashboard/domainsonce you're happy with the store.
Multi-store
If you own more than one store, switch between them from the store picker in the sidebar. Mutations always target the selected store — make sure the right one is selected before bulk-editing or importing.
The picker is hidden entirely if you own a single store and are not currently eligible to create another. Switching can also move you to a different page: if the store you switch to is a different type, the dashboard retargets you (orders ⇄ digital orders) or sends you back to /dashboard.
Getting the dashboard on your phone
The live toast only fires on the orders list and the Advanced Orders page, so it is no substitute for a real alert channel. Away from the desk you have two options: install the dashboard as a PWA from your mobile browser, or download the official Android app, whose link appears in the dashboard top bar when you browse from an Android device. Both can receive push notifications once you enable push at /dashboard/notifications, and Telegram is the channel most Algerian merchants end up relying on.
