Welcome to Cmerce – how it all fits together
A quick overview of Cmerce – the admin panel, the webshop and the till – and where to find what you need in your first days.
Cmerce brings your till, webshop and subscriptions together in one system. Products, customers, orders and reports live in one place, whether the customer shops in your store or online. This article gives you the big picture so you know where to start.
The three parts of Cmerce
| Part | What it is | Who uses it |
|---|---|---|
| The admin panel | Where you set up the store, add products, handle orders and view reports. It lives at your store's address followed by /admin. | Owner, managers and back-office staff |
| The webshop | Your store's own website where customers shop. It uses the same products and prices as the till. | Your customers |
| The till | The point-of-sale system you use in the physical store – in the browser, in the Cmerce POS app or on a payment terminal. | Cashiers |
Signing in
You sign in to the admin panel with your email address and password. If you have forgotten your store's address, go to the sign-in page on Cmerce's website, enter your email address and press «Finn butikken min» (Find my store). If you have access to several stores, you choose which one to sign in to.
How the admin panel is organised
The menu at the top is split into groups:
- «Dashbord» (Dashboard) – key figures and start-up checklists.
- «Salg» (Sales) – webshop orders and sales.
- «Booking» – appointments and events, if you use them.
- «Kasse (POS)» – locations, registers, printers, devices and the «Åpne kasse» (Open till) button.
- «Katalog» (Catalogue) – products, categories and brands.
- «Kunder» (Customers) – customer records and customer groups.
- «Rapporter» (Reports) – sales reports and analytics.
- «System» – home of «Innstillinger» (Settings), «Integrasjoner» (Integrations), «Importer» (Import), «Logging» and «Hjelpesenter» (Help centre).
Inside «Innstillinger» the pages are grouped into «Bedrift» (Company), «Salg og betaling» (Sales and payment), «Nettbutikk» (Webshop), «Kasse» (Till), «Tjenester» (Services) and «Tilgang og sikkerhet» (Access and security).
Your own profile – name, password and two-factor sign-in – is reached by clicking your name in the user menu at the top right. The page is called «Min profil» (My profile).
What the menu shows you
What you see depends on your role. A cashier, for example, does not see the payment settings. The owner sees everything. Read more in Users, roles and permissions.
Get going quickly
While the store is new, Cmerce shows the «Kom i gang med butikken» (Get started with the store) checklist on the dashboard and a banner at the top with a «Fortsett oppsettet» (Continue setup) link. The wizard walks you through the essentials: company details, appearance, payment, delivery, your first product, legal pages and notifications.
If you will use the till, the dashboard also shows «Kom i gang med kassen» (Get started with the till): create a location and a register, then connect a printer and a payment terminal.
