PrestaShop Smart Checklist

The PrestaShop Smart Checklist to Manage your Online Store.

Checklists help us to stay organized and leave nothing out. PrestaShop have compiled a smart checklist comprising a list of tasks that are truly important for running an online business and divided them by how frequently they should be completed. We have reproduced them here for your convenience. These downloadable lists will help prioritize your daily activities to more effectively run your online business.

The checklists are broken down by frequency – daily, weekly, and monthly.

Prestashop then went a step further by organizing the lists by business function. They are listed in order of importance below:

• Operations (keep your online store running)
• Customer Service (addresses any problems / issues from customers)
• User Experience (UX) (update your site to be more user friendly)
• Collect Data (actively gather information)
• Plan (schedule for upcoming events)
• Analyze (draw conclusions from the data you’ve collected)

 

The PrestaShop Smart Daily Checklist:

The daily checklist should be completed… well every day. They should also be completed in the order listed below. Although collecting data ranks lower in importance than operations and customer service, these tasks are relatively easy to complete. Get to them first thing in the morning, or you probably won’t get to them later.
