Transcript

The business page: its addresses, fleet health, card payments, stores and their servers.

0:00 Introduction

In this episode we open the business page in the console. It is where you see what is running, and where you manage it.

0:08 Opening the business

You are signed in as the owner of Echo Cycles. Tap the business in the list to open its page.

The page is a stack of cards, each one about one part of your business. The name and its status are at the top. Active means it is up and running.

0:25 Addresses

The first card is your business address. Open back office takes you to the back office, and Open business to the business itself.

Under it, Custom hostnames lets you serve the business on your own domain too. We look at that in a later episode.

0:41 Payments and fleet health

The Payments card is for taking card payments through your own Stripe account. For now it says Not connected. A later episode connects it.

Fleet health lists the servers that handle your business. Here, one of one is up. You see its name, its version, and when it last reported in.

The refresh button on a card reloads it, so you can watch a change happen.

1:05 Store servers and stores

Store servers are small servers you keep in a store. They keep that store trading even when the internet is down. You have none yet; the next episode adds one.

Stores and their servers lists each store and who serves it. Main Street, code MAIN, is served by the cloud. The Move store to server button is greyed out until you have a store server to move it to.

1:28 Export and delete

Export your data makes an encrypted copy of everything, which you can download. It has its own episode.

At the very bottom is Delete this business. Take care with it.

That is the tour. Next, we add a store server and move a store onto it.
