Use the dashboard and pause orders
The Pomatio welcome panel appears on Dashboard → Home. It provides quick access to content, optional administration tools and the current WooCommerce order status.
Use the dashboard shortcuts
- Open Dashboard → Home for the intended site.
- Confirm the displayed site ID and domain.
- Use Posts or Pages to open the corresponding content list.
- If your permissions include the advanced section, use its shortcuts to open reading, performance, footer, SEO and optimization settings.
- Where traffic information is available, review the visit summary shown to administrators.
The available destinations depend on the plugins and theme installed on the site. A shortcut can lead to a screen that is unavailable when its corresponding product is inactive or your user lacks the required permission.
Open Site Health
Pomatio omits WordPress's Site Health Status summary widget from Dashboard → Home. This does not disable Site Health or its checks. If your account has permission, open Tools → Site Health to review the complete status and information screens.
Pause WooCommerce orders
Pausing a store prevents its products from being purchased and displays the configured WooCommerce store notice. Existing orders remain stored; this control changes whether the site accepts new purchases.
You need the manage_woocommerce capability.
- Open Dashboard → Home.
- Find the message Your shop is receiving orders.
- Select Pause orders.
- Return to the dashboard and confirm that the message is now Your shop is paused and is not receiving orders.
- Open a product on the public site and confirm that it cannot be purchased.
- Confirm that the store notice appears at the bottom of the public page.
Resume WooCommerce orders
- Open Dashboard → Home.
- Find the paused-store message.
- Select Resume orders.
- Confirm that the dashboard reports that the shop is receiving orders.
- Open an otherwise purchasable product and verify that its purchase controls are available again.
Troubleshooting
- If the store control is absent, confirm that WooCommerce is active and your user can manage WooCommerce.
- If an advanced shortcut is absent, your user does not have the required administration access.
- If a paused store has no custom message, Pomatio Platform displays its default paused-orders notice.
- If a product remains unavailable after resuming orders, inspect its stock, price, status and other WooCommerce purchasing rules.
