PlaceholderMerchant and partner dashboards
Merchant and partner dashboards showing how navigation changes by role.
- Review how your navigation changes by role.
- Understand the difference between store affiliation, store context, and tier.
- Review the public partner profile and storefront experience pages when you need the shopper-facing view.
- Learn how storefronts, commissions, and attribution connect together.
- Use the glossary page when a product term is unclear.
Settings explained
- Navigation is role-aware, so not every user sees the same menus.
- Affiliation decides which stores a partner can access.
- Tier decides which features are available inside that store relationship.
Example
A VIP Partner can have one store set as their default, another store still active, and a different tier level in each store relationship if the merchant configured it that way.
Tips and limits
- A partner profile and a store affiliation are related, but they are not the same thing.
- Storefront access, analytics access, and VIP tools depend on tiered feature availability.
