Your panel may show fewer menus, cards and fields than the screenshots in this help centre. That is on purpose: the panel shows an item only when the feature behind it is in use.
The rule
An optional item appears when one of these is true:
- your plan includes the feature and you have switched it on; or
- your shop already has data made with the feature. That history stays reachable even after you switch the feature off.
This applies to menu items, whole pages, form fields, dashboard tiles, report links and columns in imports and exports.

"This feature is not switched on for your shop"
Opening some hidden pages from an old bookmark or a typed address takes you back to the dashboard with This feature is not switched on for your shop. You can turn it on in Settings. This happens for the locations and stock pages, stocktakes, the wastage report, back in stock, delivery collections and the pages that add, re-enable or message delivery guys. Other hidden pages, such as coupons, gift cards and shipping zones, still open by address.
Switch a feature on
- Shop › Features lists the optional features and what each adds. The owner switches one with Turn on or Turn off, or follows Change in Settings. Some read Contact support to change this. Shop Managers have Features in their top bar and can read it only: Only the shop owner can turn features on or off.
- Some features are switches in a Settings tab.
- Some come with your plan or as an add-on. Paid add-ons on the Features page link to Shop › Plan & billing.
- Some are enabled for your shop by the platform. Ask support.
Each page in this help centre says under "Before you start" which of these applies.
