The Big Picture

Shop Commander is a unified command center for e-commerce agencies and store owners. Instead of logging into Shopify, then WooCommerce, then Google Analytics, then your ad platforms—you see everything in one dashboard.

One login. All your stores. Every metric that matters.

What You Can Do

See All Orders at a Glance

View order counts and revenue across all your stores in one place. Data syncs automatically throughout the day—once daily on Starter plans, up to four times daily on higher tiers.

Track What's Working

Which stores are performing? Which products are selling? Where's your traffic coming from? Stop guessing, start knowing.

Manage Multiple Clients

Running an agency? Give each client their own view of their stores—without them seeing anyone else's data. Simple access controls, professional presentation.

Compare Periods Instantly

Today vs. yesterday. This month vs. last month. See growth at a glance with built-in comparisons.

Monitor Ad Spend

Track your daily ad costs alongside revenue. Know your true profitability without spreadsheet gymnastics.

How It Connects

The Technical Bit, Simply Explained

We use official APIs—the same connections the platforms recommend.

When you connect a Shopify store, you're using Shopify's official OAuth system. It's the same secure process you use when adding any app from the Shopify App Store. WooCommerce works with REST API keys that you generate in your store settings. Google Analytics uses Google's own sign-in.

What this means for you:

  • Your login credentials never touch our servers
  • You can revoke access anytime from your platform's settings
  • We only request the permissions we actually need

What We Collect (And What We Don't)

We collect:

  • Order totals and timestamps (to show you sales data)
  • Product names and SKUs (to show top sellers)
  • Basic store info (name, currency, timezone)
  • Visitor statistics from Google Analytics (if connected)

We don't collect and don't have access to:

  • Customer personal information (names, emails, addresses)
  • Payment details or credit card information
  • Passwords or login credentials
  • Anything beyond order counts and revenue

Your data stays in your control. You can disconnect any store instantly, and full account deletion is available from your profile at any time.

The Impact

For Store Owners:

Stop tab-switching between platforms. Open one dashboard in the morning and know exactly where your business stands. Spot trends quickly because you're seeing consolidated data, not scattered reports.

For Agencies:

Manage 10 clients as easily as 1. Give each client a clean, focused view of their stores. Spend less time pulling reports and more time providing value. Scale your client roster without scaling your headaches.

For Teams:

Everyone sees the same numbers. No more "which report are you looking at?" Shared context means faster decisions.

Security & Privacy

All data transmitted over HTTPS (encrypted in transit)
OAuth authentication—we never see your platform passwords
Your data is isolated from other users
EU/GDPR compliant data handling
You can disconnect any store and delete your data anytime
