Next steps: what to do for your store, at every stage
Slaby checks your store every day and lists the most useful next steps for where you are — setup, payments, Google and AI search, stock and sales — with the exact steps to finish each one.

What Next steps is
Next steps looks at your store the way an experienced seller would: do buyers have a way to pay online, do products have photos and descriptions, can Google and AI assistants find you, is anything out of stock that sells, are orders waiting?
It shows the three most useful things on your dashboard and everything else on the Next steps page, grouped by topic. Each item has the exact steps, a Do it button that opens the right screen, and a Learn more link to the guide.
Slaby Buddy, the helper in the corner of your admin, shows the same steps too: the top one on its Today tab and the top five on its Next steps tab, with Do it, Later and Done. Marking a step there is the same as marking it here.
- It checks automatically, at least once a day, and when you press Check again.
- A step disappears by itself once it's done. If something breaks again later, it comes back.
- Only the owner, and staff whose role has Manage settings, see it. The built-in Manager role doesn't have Manage settings.
Your store's stage
Advice depends on where you are. Slaby picks your stage from simple facts: Just started (no products yet), Setting up (setup steps left), Live — waiting for first order, First orders, Growing, and Scaling up.
A new store is asked for products and payments before marketing; a busy store is asked about stock, waiting orders and repeat buyers.
Snooze, hide or mark done
1. Do it
Opens the screen where you fix it.
2. Snooze 7 or 30 days
Hides the step for now; it comes back after that.
3. I've done this
For steps Slaby can't see — like submitting your sitemap inside Google Search Console — this closes the step for good. For other steps, Slaby checks again; if it still isn't done, the step comes back the next day.
4. Not for my store
Hides a step that doesn't apply to you. It returns only if things change.
This week's plan
Once a week, if you've used your admin recently, Slaby's assistant may reorder your top steps for your store and add one line on why each matters now. It only sees counts and the names of the checks — never your customers, prices or orders.
If the assistant isn't available, the plan is picked automatically from the checks. Nothing changes for your shoppers either way.
हिन्दी में
अगले कदम (Next steps) हर दिन आपके स्टोर को जाँचता है और आपकी स्टेज के हिसाब से सबसे काम की चीज़ें बताता है — पेमेंट, प्रोडक्ट, Google और AI सर्च, स्टॉक और बिक्री। हर कदम के साथ "अभी करें" बटन और पूरा तरीका मिलता है। आप उसे 7 या 30 दिन के लिए टाल सकते हैं, "मैंने कर लिया" दबा सकते हैं या छिपा सकते हैं। यही कदम Slaby Buddy के "आज" और "अगले कदम" टैब में भी दिखते हैं। इन्हें मालिक और वे स्टाफ़ देखते हैं जिनके रोल में Manage settings है।
Common questions
Why did a step come back after I marked it done?
Slaby checked again and the thing still isn't set up — for example the GSTIN field is still empty. Open Do it and finish it; the step closes by itself.
Does the assistant read my customers' details?
No. It sees only counts (like how many products have no photo) and the names of the checks. No names, phone numbers, prices or order details.
Can my staff see Next steps?
Only logins whose role has Manage settings: the owner, or a custom role you gave Manage settings. The built-in Manager role doesn't have it.
Slaby Buddy shows a step too. Is that different?
No. Buddy's Today and Next steps tabs show the same steps as this page. Done or Later there counts here too, and "See all next steps" opens this page.
