Your account and the portal

Two places to manage things, and the simple rule for which one you want.

Store admins

There are two admin surfaces, and the difference is only ever how many stores you are looking at.

Your account

One store's screens, reached from that store's own address. Where you spend almost all of your time.

/account

The portal

The same screens with a store picker in front of them, for anybody who oversees several.

/portal

The screens themselves are identical. If you administer a single store, the portal would only add a step, so it sends you straight to that store instead.

What you will find there

The screens sit in five sections. The top row of the menu picks the section; the row beneath it picks the screen, and shows up only where a section holds more than one.
