This page maps the main Merchant Dashboard navigation to the workflows merchants
use most often.

## Main Navigation

Navigation item
Use it to

Dashboard
Review key payment metrics, order status mix, and recent activity at a glance.

Merchants
Create merchants and configure wallets, chains, API keys, order defaults, webhooks, and return URLs.

Orders
Find checkout sessions, review Order Details, and export records.

Statistics
Compare order, amount, chain, token, weekly, and recent activity statistics.

Settings
Open Profile, Subscription Plan & Tiers, Configuration, or Network Mode.

## Check The Current Mode

Confirm the selected mode before making changes. Mainnet is for real payments,
while testnet is visually marked in the dashboard and works as a sandbox for
setup and testing. Actions apply only to the selected mode, and merchant, wallet,
API key, order, and payment data remain separate between the two modes.

For the product-level differences, see
[Mainnet vs Testnet](/documentation/start/mainnet-vs-testnet).

## Dashboard Summary

The Dashboard is the landing view. Its Recent Activity panel shows only the last
7 days of account activity.

Continue with [Merchant Setup](/documentation/merchant-operations/merchant-setup)
before accepting the first payment.
