Webshop Back Office

A Typograph webshop sells personalised print products: a customer picks a card, fills in their own text and pictures, and orders it printed. The designs come from your Typograph organisation; everything else — which designs you sell, at what price, in which categories, and the orders that come in — you manage in the shop's back office.

This guide is for the people who run the shop. Building a storefront of your own is covered in the Webshop API guide for developers.

Where to find it​

The back office is on your shop's own address, followed by /admin. For the demo shop Stamped that is https://shop-api.typograph.nl/admin. You sign in with the e-mail address and password of your shop account; see Your account and roles.

  1. A designer makes a design and a form for it in the Typograph portal, and publishes the form.
  2. You add the design to your catalogue. The shop takes its own copy of it, and the new product starts as a draft that customers cannot see.
  3. A manager sets the price and makes the product orderable.
  4. Customers fill it in and order it. You see the order in the back office and move it on.
  5. When the design changes in Typograph, the shop keeps selling its copy until somebody approves the new version.

The sections​

Down the left side you see the sections your role gives you:

SectionWhat it is for
CatalogueThe products you sell, whether customers can order them, and their order in the shop
Categories and filtersThe departments of your shop, and the filters customers narrow them down with
TypographDesigns: everything your Typograph organisation has, to add to the catalogue. Notifications: what changed or broke in Typograph
OrdersWhat customers ordered, with their addresses
SettingsThe owner's screens: Connection, Team and Logbook
TrashProducts taken out of the catalogue, which can be put back

A red number beside Typograph means something there is waiting for you.

The back office speaks English and Dutch; switch with the EN/NL switch. This guide uses the English labels, with the Dutch name where people tend to use it, such as Koppeling for Connection.
