1. Extensive Dashboard and Report Filtering
Online store owners need a clear understanding of their store’s performance. That’s why a detailed dashboard with essential filters is important for generating accurate reports.
With the comprehensive Dokan Shop dashboard, store owners will get valuable insights into their performance. They can easily monitor earnings and track key metrics like customer numbers, orders, products sold, and refunds.
The dashboard includes a graph that provides a quick overview of the store’s performance and valuable insights at a glance.
A dedicated report section allows owners to filter data for daily, monthly, or yearly analysis. This feature enables them to dive deeper into trends and patterns.
2. Exclusive Page Builder
This is the most amazing feature of the Dokan Shop. Yes, it has a page builder. This novelty feature is only available on Dokan.
I have seen the struggle online store owners face while designing their stores. That is why our team decided to bring in a page builder to help them design the storefront easily.
You can use that page builder to customize your online store. If you have any experience using Elementor or any other page builder, then it would be easy for you to use the page builder as it is made with the same design.
There are many amazing widgets and features to design your eCommerce store the way you like.
Here are some amazing features of the page builder-
- Easy drag and drop builder
- 20+ widgets to customize the store as you wish
- Separate widgets specially to design eCommerce store
- Custom CSS
- Advanced styling options
- Collection of amazing presets and more.
Also, there are two themes available for you to activate and customize your site’s look. However, you don’t need to customize the themes as they are already on par with the design trends. Still, you can use the page builder to satisfy your design needs.
We will add more themes in the future.
3. User-friendly Product Management
Uploading and managing products is one of the most difficult tasks in any eCommerce platform. We tried to make that process very easy.
Dokan Shop supports both physical and digital products. This gives you the flexibility to offer a wide range of items in your shop. You can create and upload products, providing all the necessary information to accurately showcase them.
For enhanced visibility and search engine optimization (SEO), there’s a dedicated section specifically designed for product SEO. This feature empowers store owners to optimize product listings with relevant keywords, descriptions, and meta tags
4. Easy Shipping and Tax Management
Among the features offered by Dokan Cloud Shop, managing shipping and tax settings stands out as crucial yet potentially complex. As these are the two most sensitive and complex features, my team has taken extra care to make sure these two features become effortless.
For shipping management, you can create shipping profiles according to your specific needs. You can define various conditions and parameters to apply to shipping, ensuring accurate and efficient fulfillment processes.
This flexibility allows you to accommodate diverse shipping requirements and preferences.
Configuring taxes is simplified with the Dokan Cloud Shop. Admins can easily create tax rules based on country and state, streamlining compliance with regional tax regulations.
Dokan Cloud offers comprehensive tax options, including compound tax, zip tax, shipping tax, and digital product tax, providing you with the flexibility to implement tax policies that align with your business needs and regulatory requirements.
Dokan Cloud Shop offers simple tools for managing shipping and tax settings. This makes it easy to navigate complexities and ensures smooth operations and compliance in the eCommerce ecosystem.
5. Live Chat Integration for Better Communication
The importance of live chat for any online business is huge. More than 60% of customers are more likely to return to a website that offers live chat. So, having a live chat feature is crucial.
Dokan Shop seamlessly integrates with popular communication platforms like WhatsApp. This makes it easier for you to engage effectively with your customers.
You can communicate easily with your customer base, which increases personalized interactions and helps build stronger relationships.
By integrating WhatsApp within the Dokan Shop, you can address customer inquiries, provide support, and offer assistance in real-time.
This direct and immediate communication channel enables retailers to offer a more responsive and tailored shopping experience, thereby increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty.
These integrations enable you to use the power of social media and messaging platforms to promote your products and services. This drives traffic and sales to their storefronts within the Dokan Shop.
6. Email Integration with MailChimp
Sending emails to your customers is an important process for an online store.
Dokan Shop offers seamless integration with Mailchimp, a leading email marketing software, to streamline communication with customers regarding order confirmations and successful signups. This integration enables you to leverage Mailchimp’s email automation and marketing tools to deliver timely and personalized messages to customers.
With this integration store owners can automate the process of sending order confirmation emails. You can use Mailchimp to send welcome emails to new signups, fostering a positive first impression and encouraging further engagement with the marketplace.
Overall, the integration with Mailchimp empowers store owners within the Dokan Shop to leverage email marketing effectively.
7. SMS Integration with Twilio
SMS is considered a more personal form of communication as you can reach customers who don’t even own a smartphone.
So, in addition to its integration with Mailchimp for email communication, Dokan Shop also offers seamless integration with Twilio. It is a renowned SMS platform to connect with customers more directly and personally.
With Twilio integration, send important updates, order confirmations, delivery notifications, and promotional offers directly to customers’ mobile phones.
This direct communication channel allows for timely and effective communication. It ensures that customers stay informed and engaged throughout their shopping experience.
This level of personalization can significantly enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty, ultimately driving repeat purchases and fostering long-term relationships.
8. Insightful Store Analytics
Understanding customer behavior is crucial for optimizing the performance of an online store. You need to know how your customers are behaving with the website to make informed decisions.
Dokan Shop offers seamless integration with Google Analytics 4, a powerful analytics platform, to provide valuable insights into customer interactions with the website.
With this integration, track various metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) related to customer behavior, such as page views, session duration, bounce rates, and conversion rates.
These insights give you a deeper understanding of how customers navigate your website, interact with products, and complete transactions. So, you can optimize your website and marketing strategies to better meet the needs and preferences of the target audience.
9. Payment Integration for Smooth Transaction
If the customers don’t see a trusted payment service, they can immediately abandon the cart. I have seen many online stores struggle with increasing abandoned cart rates due to not having reliable payment gateways.
Dokan Shop has multiple payment methods, including PayPal, Stripe, and cash on delivery. This diverse array of payment options ensures convenience and flexibility for customers.
Customers can securely complete transactions using PayPal or Stripe, two widely trusted and widely used payment gateways.
These platforms offer robust security measures and seamless integration. You, therefore can provide a smooth and hassle-free checkout experience for users.
For those who prefer to pay upon delivery, Dokan Shop also supports cash on delivery. It enables customers to finalize their purchases and pay in person when their orders are delivered.
10. Easy Coupon Management
With years of experience in the eCommerce industry, we understand that discounts and special offers are key to driving sales. It encourages customers to try new products and bring them back for repeat purchases. After all, everyone loves a great deal!
That’s why easy coupon management is a must-have for any online store, and Dokan makes it simple and efficient.
With Dokan, managing your store’s discounts is quick and hassle-free. Here’s what you can do:
- Apply Coupons to Specific Products or Categories: Want to offer a discount on just one product or an entire category? It’s easy with Dokan—you can create coupons for any product, category, or even your entire store.

The coupon management feature makes Dokan Cloud Shop more powerful and flexible. It allows you to easily create and manage discounts, target specific products or categories, and track customer usage.
11. Seamless GA4 Integration for Advanced Analytics
At Dokan Cloud Shop, we understand that data is key to growing your online business. That’s why we’ve integrated Google Analytics 4 (GA4) directly into the platform.
Why is this important? Because GA4 provides you with deeper, more accurate insights into customer behavior.
You can track important stuff like how people are finding your products, how they’re engaging with them, and how many are actually buying. With real-time tracking and cool predictive insights, you can make smarter, data-driven decisions that help you grow faster.
