Run your store
One dashboard for the whole operation.
A commerce admin with the analytics, bulk tools, and settings ops teams use every day.
Shepherd ships a dedicated commerce admin on top of Strapi: a KPI dashboard with period-over-period trends, bulk catalog tools, full order operations, review moderation, and a single store-configuration panel where every plugin registers its settings.
1
Admin for catalog, orders, payments & shipping
Δ
Period-over-period deltas on every KPI
Live
Config changes apply without redeploys
KPIs without the BI project.
Pick a time range and see sales, average order value, completed and pending orders, refunds, cancellations, abandoned carts, and conversion rate, each with a delta against the previous period. The questions a Monday standup asks, answered on one screen.
- Time-range sales and AOV with period-over-period comparison
- Order state breakdown: completed, pending, refunded, cancelled
- Abandoned cart counts and conversion rate
- Catalog counts and health at a glance
Bulk tools for real catalogs.
Large catalogs need bulk workflows. The inline price-and-stock grid, one-click visibility toggles, and the needs-attention queue (missing descriptions, meta, slugs) keep catalogs healthy without spreadsheet round-trips.
- Inline price & stock editing across the catalog
- Bulk enable/disable product visibility
- Needs-attention queue flags incomplete products
- Custom editors for every entity: orders, carts, customers, discounts, nexus, boxes
One configuration panel, every plugin.
Store domains, notification emails, payment gateways, carriers, and tax settings live in one surface. Plugins inject their own sections, settings merge from admin, environment, and defaults with full source transparency, and secrets stay masked.
- Unified store configuration with plugin-injected sections
- Warning indicators when an enabled provider is missing credentials
- Secrets masked; config sources (admin / env / default) shown explicitly
- Audit logging on configuration changes
Content and commerce, same roof.
Shepherd runs on Strapi, a full headless CMS, so your content team manages pages, blogs, and media in the same admin where products and orders live. No second CMS, no sync jobs, no copy-paste between systems.
- Full headless CMS alongside commerce entities
- Roles and permissions for staff, managers, and content editors
- Media library shared between content and catalog
- Custom content types for anything your site needs
Everything included.
Order operations
Tracking, cancellation, and emails handled from the order screen.
Review moderation
Approve or reject customer reviews before they publish.
Discount management
Create promo codes with usage limits and active windows.
Shipping box catalog
Define cartons once; bin packing uses them at checkout.
Nexus management
Tax and ship-from locations managed as simple records.
Demo seed data
Optional starter catalog so new installs aren't a blank page.
Role-based access
Strapi's RBAC gates who can touch products, orders, and settings.
White-label branding
Shepherd seeds your admin branding automatically on first run.
Live settings
Provider toggles and config apply at request time. No redeploys.
Easy for your whole team.
For ops teams
Set up providers without a developer
Payment and shipping providers are admin toggles with clear 'missing credential' warnings, not config files and deploys.
For store managers
Monday metrics in ten seconds
The dashboard answers sales, conversion, and refund questions with trends. No CSV exports or BI seat licenses required.
For content people
Publish without tickets
Pages, blog posts, banners, and product copy all live in the same CMS admin. Edit, preview, publish.
