Finding your way around
Finding your way around (the sidebar)
The dark left sidebar is your permanent navigation:
| Item | What lives there |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | This page — metrics, checklist, commission breakdown. |
| Orders | Your share of each buyer order, and the buttons to accept, ship and deliver. |
| Products | Your catalog — create, edit, submit for review, photos, bulk import. |
| Payouts | Money: pending and paid totals, every remittance and what it settled. |
| Team | Who can sign in to this portal. |
At the top of the sidebar sit the marketplace’s brand and the notification bell; at the bottom, your signed-in email and the Sign out button.
On a phone or a narrow window the sidebar folds away into a drawer — tap the menu (hamburger) button in the top bar to open it. Everything works the same.
The notification bell
The bell at the top of the sidebar shows a red badge with your unread count. Click it to open the “Notifications” popover:
The notification bell — new orders, listing approvals and rejections arrive here in real time
- Each notification has a title, a message and an age; click one to jump to the page it’s about (a new-order notification opens Orders, for example).
- Mark all read clears the badge; Clear read removes already-read items; the small × on a row deletes just that one.
- When there’s nothing left you’ll see a check-circle and “You’re all caught up”.
Notifications arrive in real time when the operator has live updates configured; otherwise the portal checks for new ones every 30 seconds. Notifications reference lists every notification you can receive and what to do about each.
The assistant
A chat button at the bottom right opens the portal's assistant ("Hi! Ask me anything about the portal — answers follow the page you're on."). Ask about your orders (which sub-orders are still pending?), a specific order's status, your payouts, your takings over a period, or your listings; it answers from your own vendor data only. It can also submit a draft product for review when you ask it to. End chat asks how it went — your feedback reaches the operator.
