Vendor Dashboard – The Tools to Manage Your Storefront
Welcome to your Vendor Dashboard! This is your hub for managing your store, connecting with shoppers, and tracking your store’s performance. Here, you can share updates, answer shopper questions, add photos, post events, and keep an eye on your stats.
