User Interface

The Umbraco Commerce UI consists of a number of key areas, split over three sections within the Umbraco backoffice:

• Settings for managing the different store settings.

• Commerce for managing store-related content (orders, discounts, etc).

• Content for managing the Umbraco Commerce products.

Settings Section

The Settings section is where the configuration of all Store settings is managed. From here you can manage how the Store works as well as what options will be available within the Store.

The UI for the Settings section consists of a Tree which lists all available Stores and their key areas available for configuration. It also contains a right-hand editor panel. This can either act as an editor interface or as a list view interface for listing items within that given configuration area.

Each Store has a number of key areas of configuration accessible within the Settings section:

• Store: Each Store node contain Store level configuration settings.

• Locations contain the configuration of the different locations of the store.

• Order Statuses contain the configuration of the different Statuses an order can be in. Think of these as an organizational structure for your Orders.
