🚀 Spree 5 Feature Spotlight: The New Admin Dashboard UX
Spree 5 is here — and it’s the biggest open-source eCommerce release we’ve ever made. Packed with powerful features, smarter tooling, and a sleek new design, it’s built to save your team time and make scaling easier than ever before. One of the most impactful upgrades? The New Admin Dashboard UX.
We’re not robots, are we? We need our time back. The redesigned Spree 5 Admin Dashboard delivers just that — streamlined workflows, intuitive controls, and real-time visibility into what matters most.
A Productivity Boost for Every Team
Managing orders, updating product catalogs, tweaking shipping settings — these are the day-to-day tasks that keep eCommerce businesses running. But when your admin panel feels like a puzzle, that daily grind can drain your time and energy.
That’s why Spree 5 introduces a completely reimagined Admin Dashboard experience. It’s not just a visual refresh. It’s a workflow upgrade, designed around how real teams operate:
- Quick access to key metrics: Sales, orders, and traffic insights are displayed front and center.
- Simplified navigation: Jump between sections like Products, Orders, Customers, and Stores faster than ever.
- Smart filtering and layout improvements reduce cognitive load and speed up decision-making.
- Mobile-friendly design means you can manage on the go — yes, even from your phone.
UX That Works for Growth
As your business scales, so does the complexity of your operations. The new Admin UX is designed with growing teams and growing catalogs in mind. Whether you’re launching a new collection, analyzing order trends, or troubleshooting a checkout issue, the dashboard makes it easier to stay in control.
Combined with new features like bulk operations, product tags, and automatic taxons (which we’ll explore in coming posts), this upgraded interface ties everything together to help you and your team work smarter, not harder.
The Spree 5 Philosophy
Spree 5 isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a rethink. The Admin Dashboard UX is a shining example of this philosophy: putting power into the hands of merchants, developers, and teams while reducing friction. It reflects hundreds of hours of design iteration, open-source feedback, and a vision to make eCommerce accessible and efficient for everyone.
