Dashboard Tour

Understanding the Dashboard

The Dashboard is the first screen you land on after onboarding, and it's designed to answer one question at a glance: "What's actually set up, and what still needs my attention?"

Setup Progress Bar

At the top, a progress bar shows how much of your store's setup is complete. Unlike a simple onboarding-completion counter, this bar is driven by real, verified state:

• The speed embed's status comes from checking your published theme via Shopify's extension APIs.

• FAQ block statuses come from the same live check, not from a database flag that gets set the moment you click a button.

• Only your chosen plan and any manually-completed steps come from stored settings.

This means the percentage shown can never be "wrong" in the sense of claiming something is active when it isn't on your storefront.

Task Cards

Below the progress bar, individual cards represent each setup task:

• Activate Speed Embed

• Add FAQ Blocks (one card per block type, or grouped depending on your view)

• Choose a Plan

Each card shows a status badge (Active / Not active) and a button that takes you directly to the relevant step — either reopening the onboarding wizard at that step, or deep-linking into the theme editor.

Credits Badge

In the header, you'll see your remaining AI credits (e.g., "⭐ 42 AI credits"). This is a live count that updates immediately after any action that consumes credits. Clicking the badge opens the pricing panel, whether you're on Free, Pro, or Business.

Quick Links

The Dashboard also surfaces shortcuts to:

• Products — jump straight into the SEO editor list for your products

• Collections

• Blog Posts

• Speed — the page dedicated to performance tasks and the optimized-files list

These exist so you don't need to navigate through Shopify's own admin menus to reach the app's per-resource editors.

When Status Doesn't Match What You Expect

Because block statuses are read from your published theme, a change you just made in the theme editor won't show up on the Dashboard until you've actually clicked Publish there (not just Save in a draft/preview context). If a badge still looks stale after publishing, refreshing the Dashboard page will re-check it.
