About the StoreConnect console

The StoreConnect Console is a centralized workspace for managing your commerce operations. It’s organized into three main areas:

• Store for core operations such as orders, inventory, customers, bookings, and offers
• Web for storefront content, themes, and privacy settings
• Point of Sale for outlet and register configuration.

Users only see the channels and features relevant to their role, while administrators have full access across all three channels, along with system tools such as sync monitoring, setup guides, and configuration for payments, tax, and shipping.

For general StoreConnect navigation tips, see the StoreConnect navigation topic.

Accessing the console

The following users can access the console.

• StoreConnect Administrator — Full access to all channels and settings
• StoreConnect Content Manager — Manage web content, including articles, pages, and menus
• StoreConnect Order Manager — Manage orders, payments, and fulfillment
• StoreConnect Theme Manager — Manage storefront themes and appearance

Each role only sees the navigation sections relevant to their permissions. Only administrators have access to the Point of Sale channel, setup guide, and system configuration (including payment, shipping, and tax settings).

:::note Note for Salesforce Admins: Assign these permission sets rather than the underlying custom permissions on their own. Each one grants the SC_Console custom permission — which unlocks the console — together with the object and field access the console needs to work. Assigning the bare custom permission may let a user past the access check but leave them unable to read or edit records. The StoreConnect Administrator permission set additionally grants the SC_Administrator custom permission, which is required for the header Setup and License menus. Users without console access see a permission error instead of console content. :::

1. Log in to Salesforce with your admin credentials.
2. In the App Launcher (grid icon), search for StoreConnect Console.

3. Click StoreConnect Console to open the dashboard.

   

Key features of the console

The left navigation gives you access to:

Home: Store health and subscription metrics at a glance. Orders: Review, fulfill, and process customer orders and payments. Inventory: Add, edit, or deactivate products, stock, and pricing. Customers: View and maintain accounts, contacts, and memberships. Design: Manage storefront content and themes. Settings: Configure payment, taxes, and shipping.

Setup guide

When you set up a new store, the console displays a step-by-step setup guide. Each step guides you through a specific setup task — some open a dialog, while others take you to the relevant settings screen or your storefront.

:::tip You can skip any step (except creating your first store) and return to it later. The setup guide remains accessible from the console navigation, even after you have completed every step. :::
