Tour the dashboard

Once you have successfully logged in to Little Big Shop, you will be taken to the admin dashboard.
This is your shop’s control centre, where you manage all aspects of your online shop – from customising the website design to confirming shipping options, adding products, managing orders, payment options and more.

Before you start selling on Little Big Shop, you’ll need to enter some information about you and your store including some business details, shipping and how you’ll accept payment.
