The Account Dashboard is where store owners manage their BigCommerce account. You can change domains, view and pay your BigCommerce subscription invoices, get started with BigCommerce University, view the support PIN, change your store's plan, and update the primary contacts for the account.

Account Dashboard

The Account Dashboard offers some advanced features, including:

  • Easy logins — The Account Manager uses the same login credentials as your store, so you don't need to keep track of multiple email addresses and passwords.
  • Managing all your stores from one location — You can select which store's account you want to manage from the navigation panel.
  • Automated SSL installation — If you purchase an SSL from BigCommerce, there's no need to copy and paste certificates into your store.
 
 

Logging In to Your Account Dashboard

You can log in directly at BigCommerce Account Dashboard using your owner credentials used to create the account, or via the Account Settings › Account Overview area of the control panel. Your Account Dashboard will open in a separate browser tab.

The store owner can always log into the Account Dashboard. Even if a plan has been canceled or suspended, you will have access to the billing area.

 

Need to view a different account? If you have multiple accounts, you can access your other accounts after logging in by clicking Change account at the top of the page.
