FAQ
Why doesn’t the app display any orders or inventory?
You may see a “No Products” note in your Inventory section and blank tabs in your Orders dashboard. There are a couple reasons why this could happen:
- You’ve logged into a site without an active store. To fix this, switch to another site with an active store attached. Ensure that you’ve enabled live orders for the store from a desktop.
- Your store doesn’t have any live products. To fix this, log into your site on a desktop and add products. Ensure that your Store Page is enabled and not hidden by a password.
How do I refresh my Orders or Inventory dashboard?
On any Orders or Inventory tab, swipe down and release to refresh. You’ll see a refresh circle while your products are updating. Orders are arranged by date, meaning you’ll see the newest orders at the bottom of the list.
I didn't give Commerce permission to use my camera. Can I enable it now?
Yes. If you previously disabled access to your device's camera within the app, you can re-enable it in your settings to scan shipping labels. The way you enable this depends on which version of the app you're using.
- On your home screen, tap Settings.
- Tap Privacy.
- Tap Camera.
- Find Commerce and slide the permission toggle on. It will turn green when it’s enabled.
- On your home screen, tap Settings.
