The checklist
PR #2020 replaced the client-side onboarding wizard with a server-verified checklist. Each item’s completion state is derived from the merchant’s data, not a flag the user can dismiss. That way:- The checklist shows accurate state even after a merchant navigates away and returns.
- Admins can’t mark a step complete before the underlying config exists.
- The checklist re-appears if a merchant deletes the backing config later.
- Bind the Shopify store to a Nudj community.
- Pick a theme preset for the widgets.
- Enable the loyalty widget on the storefront.
- Configure a baseline reward.
- Configure at least one achievement.
Wizard modal
PR #2007 added a wizard modal that launches from the getting-started page. The modal walks merchants through the first-configuration flow without leaving the checklist, then re-runs the server-side verification so steps tick off in place.Home dashboard
Once past onboarding, the merchant’s home screen is an activity chart summary (PR #1985) — running totals of orders, challenges completed, points earned, referrals. Clicking a metric navigates to the detail page for that surface.Access and scheduling
PRs #2001 and #1982 hide the access and scheduling selectors in settings while those features remain in preview. Merchants instead see a “coming soon” teaser in the settings sidebar (PR #1983).Pages consistency
PR #2141 aligned all embedded admin pages to a consistent layout, header pattern, and empty-state shape. PR #2128 migrated data fetching to client-side so navigation between pages is instant.Mobile support
PR #1905 optimised the embedded admin for 390px viewports — iPhones running Shopify’s merchant mobile app see a full checklist and dashboard, not a broken desktop layout.Next steps
