Plugnect Store Admin for WooCommerce

Description

Try the live demo: a real store with orders, products and customers. Nothing to install, no account to create.

WordPress was built for publishing. Running a store in it means digging through menus named Posts, Appearance or Tools to find your orders. Plugnect Store Admin gives your WooCommerce admin a new shell, organized around what a merchant actually does every day.

A menu built around your store

• Commerce: Home, Orders, Products, Customers, Analytics
• Marketing: Campaigns, Discounts
• Online store: Theme and preview, Pages, Navigation, Media, Emails
• System: Plugins, Users, Settings
• Apps: every other plugin’s menu, collected automatically so nothing gets lost
• WordPress: blog posts, comments, tools and the original dashboard, one click away

The current section stays highlighted on every related screen, and its sub-pages appear right under it.

Screens designed for merchants

• Home: revenue, orders, average order value, new and returning customers, a revenue chart, your priorities for today, latest orders, top customers, stock to watch and a setup checklist.
• Orders: tabs with counts (to fulfill, pending, completed, cancelled, refunded), search by number, customer, email or product, payment and fulfillment badges, bulk status changes, and a quick view that opens any order in a side panel (customer, items, totals, addresses) with its status buttons, without leaving the list.
• Order page: a clear page instead of the WooCommerce editor: a progress bar (placed, paid, shipped, completed), the items and totals, a timeline of everything that happened with your notes and messages to the customer, the customer’s history, and addresses you can correct in place. The next step is one button away (“Confirm payment”, “Mark completed”).
• Products: thumbnails, stock badges, 30-day sales, and price, stock and status editable right in the table.
• Product editor: create and edit simple and variable products on one page: name and description, photos you drag to reorder, price and sale price with the discount shown, variations created in one click from options like Size or Colour (each with its price, stock and photo), stock, shipping, downloadable files, categories and tags, and a live preview of the product card in your shop.
• Customers: every customer including guests, with orders, total spent, average order and segments (new, returning, top spenders, to win back).
• Discounts: every coupon with its value, scope, end date, usage and status, plus what discounts brought in over 30 days.
• Settings: edit your store right here: address, where you sell, currency and price format, language and time zone, stock alerts and reviews, payment methods, shipping zones and options, taxes, checkout and customer accounts, email sender and which emails are sent. Everything is saved in the WooCommerce options, and the detailed WooCommerce screens stay one click away.
• Notifications: payments, orders to fulfill, stock alerts, new customers and plugin updates.

Vacation mode

Going away? Turn on vacation mode in Settings, enter your first and last day, and a banner tells customers you are on vacation and when their orders will ship, at the top of every page of your site. It appears and disappears on its own on the dates you chose, and the page caches of the main caching plugins are cleared at the right moment. The home screen reminds you it is on, with an “I am back” button.

Variation swatches

Customers pick a color, a picture or a size with one click instead of a dropdown, on every variable product. Choose how each option is shown (dropdown, buttons, colors or images), give every value its color or picture in Settings → Variation swatches, straight from the product editor, or on the WooCommerce attribute screens. Round, rounded or square swatches in three sizes; out of stock choices crossed out, faded or hidden; the chosen value next to the option name; the name on hover; keyboard friendly. Options created on a single product can have swatches too.

The product editor also sets several photos per variation (WooCommerce 11.1 or later), shown on the product page when that variation is chosen.

Sell more, built in

• Free shipping bar: “Add €12 more to get free shipping” in the cart, at checkout and in the mini cart, with the threshold read from your shipping zones. It updates live, block cart included.
• Announcement bar: a message and a link at the top of every page.
• Back in stock alerts: customers leave their email on out of stock products and variations, and get a WooCommerce email when stock comes back. Unsubscribe link and privacy tools included.
• Review requests: an email X days after the order status of your choice, with the products to review. One request per order, never for products already reviewed.
• Better discount codes: a start and an end down to the minute, and a link that applies the code without typing (?coupon=CODE), perfect for newsletters.

Search everything, from anywhere

Press Ctrl K (or ⌘K on a Mac) to open the command palette: jump to any screen, create a product, a discount or an order, or find an order by number, a product by name or SKU, or a customer by email.

Nothing is replaced, nothing is lost

Orders and simple or variable products open in the simplified pages; the WooCommerce editors stay one click away (“Advanced editor”), other product types keep opening there, and the simplified pages can be turned off in Settings. Settings pages remain the WooCommerce screens you know, restyled to match the store admin (cards, full-width layout, settings grouped into sections with their title on the left), so everything other plugins add to them keeps working. Full-screen editors (block editor, Site Editor) keep their own interface.

Anyone can switch back to the classic WordPress admin from the account menu, and deactivating the plugin restores the admin exactly as it was. The first time the new admin opens, a short welcome explains where things are and offers to keep the classic admin instead.

If a plugin screen ever looks wrong inside the new shell, add ?pnsa-safe=1 to its address to display it with the classic admin, just for that page.

Light and dark

A light and a dark theme, switchable per user. Fonts and icons are bundled with the plugin: no request to any third-party service.

Works with Plugnect Analytics

With Plugnect Analytics for WooCommerce installed (shown as Pluginect Analytics in the menu), Analytics and Campaigns open its reports and the home screen adds visits and the conversion rate. Without it, they open the WooCommerce reports.

Pro

Plugnect Store Admin Pro makes the admin fully yours:

• your colors, logo and name, also on the WordPress login page;
• the menu in the order you want, sections renamed or hidden, shortcuts to any screen or plugin;
• a different menu for each role, with hidden screens blocked, so you hand a client or a team member only the screens they need;
• CSV export of orders and customers, following the current tab, segment and search;
• an email center: branded HTML templates (modern, classic, minimal or your own HTML), the subject, title and text of every WooCommerce email edited with a live preview, and test sends;
• numbered invoices and packing slips, printed or saved as PDF from the order list, one order or fifty at a time, with an optional invoice link in the customer’s email, plus a live designer for their look: four layouts, your logo, colors and fonts, table style, paper size, which details appear, custom titles, a thank-you message and a “Paid” stamp;
• parcel tracking: tracking numbers with a link for 95+ carriers worldwide, the carrier recognized from the number, bulk shipping and CSV import, an “Order shipped” email, tracking in My Account, and a REST API for label software, Zapier or Make;
• selling tools: free shipping bar texts, colors, product pages and site banner; an announcement bar with colors, pages, dates, rotating messages and a countdown; back in stock alerts with consent, waiting list, CSV export and team alerts; clickable stars and a reminder in review requests;
• swatches everywhere: swatches on shop and category pages that switch the product photo and open the product with the choice selected, two-color swatches, a larger picture in the tooltip, and a different display for a single product;
• order limits: minimum and maximum order amount and number of items, minimum, maximum and pack size per product, and nothing is limited until you fill a field;
• smarter discounts: applied automatically, on some days or hours only, for first orders, logged-in or returning customers, and shown on product pages;
• a complete vacation mode: your own message and colors, the pages where it shows, a popup, an announcement a few days before you leave, orders paused or prices hidden while you are away, and a note in order emails;
• a sales report by email, every day, week or month, for the whole team;
• an activity log: who changed which order, price, discount or setting, and when.
