UPDATE: There are too many bugs/quirks/niggles with this release so I’m reverting back to the old dashboard for now. Hopefully I can get them sorted within the next few months. Sorry!
Hi guys,
This is a big update to the existing vendor dashboard. I wanted to cover some of the biggest changes here.
One of the biggest is that to add products you now go to Products > Add Product and everything is on the front end. The fields are the same that you’re used to. Title, product description, short product description. Fill these in as usual. Basically everything is the same for adding products, just hopefully easier to use. NOTE: I know the way you select categories here is not ideal, but we will add checkboxes soon.
Also, please do not select more than 3 categories. If you do it only makes navigating that much harder.
There are lots of things for you fill out on the Settings tab! Like your Store Description (you can grab your old one from https://thebookcoverdesigner.com/vendors/your-store-name), your Single product page description (this shows up under the Seller Info tab on every product page).
Under Settings you can also add your PayPal address.
An important new tab under Settings is called Branding. Please please please add a Store Banner (suggested size: 700 x 150. Although you can make it bigger if you want). You can also add a StoreĀ Icon – think of it like a logo or avatar.
There is one last tab under Settings called Social where you can add your social media links if you want.
I think the rest of it is pretty self-explanatory, but there’ll be lots of tweaks coming in the next few weeks!
Feedback welcome.
Charlie
