Setting up Ecomdash

This version of Ecomdash is the 2.0 version, which includes the new dashboard layout. Some customers with existing Ecomdash accounts or the legacy version of Ecomdash may lose some previous functions. Once you are done adding Ecomdash, you'll need to enable Ecomdash for new WordPress installations. Once WordPress is installed, go to the HostGator Plugin and enable Ecomdash on the Store tab.

1. On the left-hand navigation menu in the WordPress dashboard, click Ecomdash.
2. You will be prompted to set up your Ecomdash account. You can create a new account or log into your existing one through the setup wizard.
3. Ecomdash will automatically populate store details if any exist in the WordPress Administrator settings. You can edit these details or add them if it isn't auto-populated.
4. For Ecomdash to manage products and listings, you must enter the URL for the website you wish to connect. This should be the URL for your WordPress website with us.

You will then be prompted to give your store Ecomdash Read/Write permissions. This is required for Ecomdash to work correctly. 5. After successfully connecting your store to Ecomdash, you will be redirected to your Ecomdash dashboard.

From there, you can add existing sales channels, manage your inventory, products, and sales, and see reporting!
