# 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.

There is no notification bell

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](#multi-store) below.

## Sidebar — every section, with paths

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**.

When the plan expires

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:

1. **Add 2-3 real products** with proper photos. See [Add your first product](https://dzbuild.com/docs/getting-started/first-product.md).
2. **Set up shipping rates** in [`/dashboard/shipping`](https://dzbuild.com/dashboard/shipping) (per wilaya or flat), then **link a courier account** in [`/dashboard/link-shipping`](https://dzbuild.com/dashboard/link-shipping).
3. **Nothing to connect for payments** on a physical-goods store: every order is [Cash on Delivery](https://dzbuild.com/docs/payments/cod.md) 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.
4. **Customize your storefront** — pick a theme in [`/dashboard/themes`](https://dzbuild.com/dashboard/themes), set your colors and logo in [`/dashboard/customize`](https://dzbuild.com/dashboard/customize).
5. **Place a test order** as a customer to see the full flow end to end.
6. **Connect your Facebook Pixel** in [`/dashboard/pixels`](https://dzbuild.com/dashboard/pixels) before you launch ads.
7. (Optional) **Connect your custom domain** in [`/dashboard/domains`](https://dzbuild.com/dashboard/domains) once 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.
