Overview

A Unified Dashboard is a single interface that shows data from all your sales channels — online store, POS, marketplaces, and apps — in one place. On Shopify, the admin dashboard is unified by default, showing orders, inventory, and analytics across all channels.

A unified dashboard simplifies operations. Without it, you'd check each channel separately — online in Shopify, POS in its system, Amazon in Seller Central. A unified dashboard brings it all together, so you see the full picture and manage everything from one place.

Unified dashboards pair with dashboard (the main view), sales channels (what it unifies), and omnichannel retail (the strategy). They're an operations and analytics tool.
