Onboarding gets a bad reputation, but it doesn't need to be difficult or painful. Treat this guide like an overview, we've listed out common terms you'll hear, settings you'll need during setup, and common processes you'll run.
Common Terms
There are a few Ordergroove-specific terms you're going to hear a lot in our documentation:
Ordergroove
You login to Ordergroove to manage customers, orders, the subscription program, and more. Sometimes referred to as the Ordergroove Admin. Note: Orders are still passed to your eCommerce platform for fulfillment.
Subscription Enrollment
The widget Ordergroove adds to your store's product details page (PDP) that has an option to purchase your product as one-time, or as a subscription.
Subscription Manager
The self-service page customers use to manage their subscriptions. You can style it to match your store, and modify what customers can do here - for example adding products to future orders, changing a future order date, or cancelling items.
