Store setup checklist

New stores can use the setup checklist to work through the essential tasks for getting ready to sell. Select a task to open its instructions, or visit the Setup Wizard documentation for more detail.

To remove the checklist from WooCommerce Home, open the ellipsis menu in its upper-right corner and select Hide setup list.

After you hide the setup checklist, WooCommerce does not currently provide a control for restoring it. Hide the checklist only when you no longer need the setup tasks.

Open setup tasks from another WooCommerce screen

If your account can manage WooCommerce and the setup list is visible and incomplete, a Finish setup tab is available on many WooCommerce admin screens outside Home. Select it to open the setup tasks without returning to WooCommerce Home. It is not available after you hide the setup list or complete the setup tasks.

Home after setup

↑ Back to top

After the setup checklist is hidden or completed, WooCommerce Home focuses on ongoing store management. It can include Things to do next, Inbox, Stats overview, and Store management.

Skip a task in Things to do next

↑ Back to top

In Things to do next, select Skip beside an incomplete task that supports dismissal. WooCommerce marks the task as removed and displays an Undo action beside it. Select Undo to restore the task. If skipping or restoring fails, WooCommerce returns the task to its previous state and shows a problem notice. Try the same action again. Skipping one task does not hide the setup checklist; use Hide setup list only when you want to remove that checklist.

Things to do next shows a removed suggestion with an Undo action to restore it.
Select Undo to restore a skipped suggestion.

Inbox

↑ Back to top

The Inbox contains store notices, extension activity, achievements, and suggestions that can help with day-to-day store management. Select Dismiss on a message when you no longer need it.

To turn off marketplace suggestions, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > WooCommerce.com and disable Marketplace suggestions.

Stats overview

Stats overview provides a quick view of store performance for today, the week to date, or the month to date. Open the ellipsis menu in the section to choose which available metrics appear.

  • Total sales — gross sales minus returns and coupons, plus taxes and shipping.
  • Net sales — gross sales minus returns and coupons.
  • Orders — the number of new orders placed during the selected period.
