WooCommerce adds dashboard widgets to your WordPress admin dashboard so you can monitor store activity at a glance. After activation, you see two widgets: WooCommerce Status and WooCommerce Recent Reviews. If you use WordPress Multisite with multiple stores, a third widget, WooCommerce Network Orders, appears on the main site dashboard.
To customize which widgets appear on your dashboard, select Screen Options in the upper-right corner of the screen. This opens the Screen elements panel, where you can toggle individual widgets on or off. The options displayed depend on your installed plugins, the current page, whether Multisite is enabled, and your hosting environment.
WooCommerce Setup widget
↑ Back to topIf you have not completed the WooCommerce Setup Wizard, the WooCommerce Setup widget appears on your dashboard as a reminder to configure essential store settings. After you finish the Setup Wizard, this widget is replaced by the WooCommerce Status and WooCommerce Recent Reviews widgets, which also become available in the Screen Options panel.
WooCommerce Status widget

- Total net sales for the current month
- Your top-selling product
- A grid of order statuses, including orders waiting to be processed or on hold
- Stock statuses, including products that are low on stock or out of stock
Note: The WooCommerce Status widget does not appear until you complete the WooCommerce Setup Wizard. Until then, the WooCommerce Setup widget is shown instead.
