Dashboard Overview

View key metrics, complete setup tasks, and access quick support to get the most from your Account Editor app.

Updated over a week ago

Introduction

The Dashboard is your home base in Account Editor — the place where you can instantly see how the app is performing and what needs your attention.
At the top, key metrics like Support Tickets Avoided, Incremental Revenue, Orders Canceled, and Notification Emails Sent show the impact Account Editor is having on your store.

Below, the Setup Guide walks you through essential steps — from adding the app block to your store’s Thank You and Order Status pages, to configuring editing and cancellation features, and selecting your plan.

You’ll also find quick links for onboarding calls, live chat support, help documentation, and feature suggestions so you can get help or share feedback without leaving the dashboard.

Let's dive deep into this.

Add App Block

The Add App Block button lets you insert Account Editor’s functionality directly into your Shopify Order Status and Thank You pages. This is where customers will interact with your editing and cancellation tools—so adding the block ensures a seamless experience right after checkout.

When you click Add App Block, you can choose where the tools will appear and configure what customers can change (e.g., contact details, items, shipping info). This step is essential for enabling self-service edits and cancellations without extra support intervention.

Tip: Place the block prominently so customers can easily find and use it, reducing support tickets and improving post-purchase satisfaction.


Legacy Customer Accounts Warning

If your store is still using Classic (Legacy) Customer Accounts, you will see a warning banner in the Dashboard:

“Switch to Shopify’s new customer accounts – Your store is using classic customer accounts, which Shopify will phase out. To enable Account Editor and stay future-ready, switch to the new customer accounts experience.”

This message appears because Shopify is phasing out Legacy Accounts, and Account Editor requires the new customer accounts to function fully.

What you should do

Click Switch now on the banner and select New customer accounts.

Once switched, Account Editor features such as order edits, upsells, and cancellation retention will work seamlessly.

Note: This banner will only display if your store is still on Legacy Accounts. If you have already migrated to new customer accounts, you will not see this warning.


Key Metrics

The Key Metrics section gives you a quick, real-time view of how Account Editor is performing for your store.

  1. Support Tickets Avoided – Shows how many potential customer support requests were prevented through self-service edits, saving your team time.

  2. Incremental Revenue – Displays the additional sales generated as a direct result of customers making edits, upgrades, or other changes using Account Editor.
