The Zen Cart Admin is where you will configure your store, add new products and manage your customers and orders.  After installing your Zen Cart store, one of the first things to do is to make sure you can log into your store Admin.

By default, the Admin for your Zen Cart store is accessed by adding /admin to your store’s address.  For example: www.store.com/admin/.

Note:  As a security precaution your admin folder should be renamed as part of the install procedure.  If you have not done this yet, visit Rename your Zen Cart Admin Folder for more details.  For those that have already renamed your admin folder, don’t forget to use your new folder name.  For example, instead of visiting http://www.store.com/admin/, it would be http://www.store.com/itswdTB67/.

The Zen Cart Admin allows you to configure your store’s settings easily as well as having all the tools you will need to manage your store’s operations on a day-to-day basis.
