Extending your store with plugins
What plugins do, where to find them in your Orbit dashboard, and every plugin guide grouped by selling channels, store features, marketing and tools.
Plugins add features to your store without custom development: customer reviews, marketplace listings, product feeds, live chat, loyalty points and more. You find and install them on the Plugins page in your Orbit dashboard. Each installed plugin gets its own page and a row in your left menu.
New to plugins? Start with Installing and managing plugins. It covers the Plugins page, permissions, pricing and trials, and how to switch a plugin off or remove it.
