About the Admin Dashboard
The admin dashboard
The Delivery Gateway admin dashboard allows you to configure the most important settings for your e-commerce platform. To access the dashboard, log in to the admin interface.
This interface is where you can:
- Set up your own merchant configuration.
- Enable and configure logistics providers.
- Set up availability zones for deliveries.
- Configure pricing for each provider.
- Set up packaging types.
- Manage your shipments and waybills.
- Set up tracking.
- Set up API access and webhooks.
When using a lightweight, frontend-only integration of Delivery Gateway, you can only configure these settings on the web UI.
For how the full backend integration works, see the Developer docs.
Merchant configuration
Merchant configuration means setting up default information and settings for your webshop. By default, deliveries will use the information provided here. This is where you can configure the type of deliveries available at your platform:
- Store pickup
- Home delivery
- Pickup point delivery
Providers
Providers are the companies shipping your packages from your shop to the customer. Enable providers for your customers by setting authentication info (such as merchant client IDs or API keys), and set default delivery information for each provider.
Zones and pricing
Create pricing configurations: set up prices depending on pre-defined geographical zones, providers, and delivery method.
Integrations
Create and manage your access tokens on the web UI. Access tokens allow you to use the Delivery Gateway Merchant API, for a full backend integration. You can set up multiple tokens with different permissions for fine-grained access control.
You can also create and manage webhooks on the web UI: when creating a webhook, you subscribe to a specific Delivery Gateway event. When the event occurs, we send a JSON payload with an HTTP POST request to the specified URL.
