SmithShop Feature Reference

This editable CMS page is included as a reference for store owners, admins, and demo users. You can edit it, hide it, or delete it from Admin > Pages if your store does not need a public feature reference.

Cart, checkout, customer accounts, order lookup, digital downloads, and policy pages.
Customer reviews, public comments, CMS pages, and visitor analytics can be toggled on or off.
Responsive layouts for home and product pages, including admin-controlled content and design settings.

Admin Tools

Product, category, coupon, order, payment, tax, shipping, content, design, page, review, and comment management.
CSV product import/export, duplicate SKU checks, saved filters, bulk price/category/status edits, and inventory adjustment.
SMTP/sendmail settings, masked sensitive fields, test email, payment event logs, and read-only server log viewer.
Database backup, safe schema update, image regeneration, unused upload cleanup, and large-catalog performance test generator.

Production Readiness

Designed for modest shared hosting for small shops and stronger VPS/dedicated hosting for larger catalogs.
Tested with 10,000 generated products using paginated catalog/admin screens and indexed search paths.
Upload validation, CSRF checks, contact anti-spam, login/action throttling, private download storage, and configurable admin path are included.
The Production Checklist flags launch items such as HTTPS, installer removal, demo admin cleanup, test catalog cleanup, payment mode, email delivery, environment mode, and writable paths.

Owner Notes

Before updating, back up the database, .env, public/uploads, and storage/downloads.
After uploading a new release, run Admin > Production > Run database update.
Before going live, remove the installer, remove demo admin access, test checkout, and replace starter policies with your own store terms.
