Saleor Pulse Configuration

Prerequisites​

  • Saleor 3.23 or newer (below 4.0)
  • A staff user who can install apps

Install Pulse​

  1. In the Saleor Dashboard, open Extensions β†’ Explore and install Pulse.
  2. Approve the permissions Pulse requests. Each one maps to something you see in the product:
PermissionWhy Pulse needs it
MANAGE_ORDERSRevenue, fulfillment, and operational analytics
MANAGE_PRODUCTSProduct rankings, Product Insights, and stock context
MANAGE_USERSTop customers and customer mix views
MANAGE_DISCOUNTSPromotion and voucher context on trends
  1. After install, Pulse mounts on the main Dashboard home as a Pulse tab. You can also open it from Extensions β†’ Installed β†’ Saleor Pulse, and Product Insights appears on product pages.

First Import​

The first time Pulse opens, it imports your store history so charts are not empty zeros.

You will see progress through orders, customers, products, variants, and promotions. When the import finishes, the dashboard takes over.

If the import fails:

  • Staff with MANAGE_APPS can retry from the first-run screen
  • Other users should ask an admin to retry

How far back that history goes depends on your plan (see Assumptions and Limitations on the overview).

Who Can See What​

Anyone who can open the app can reach the Pulse iframe. What they see still depends on Dashboard permissions:

CapabilityStaff permission
Financial and Operations analyticsMANAGE_ORDERS
Top customers (names and emails)MANAGE_USERS
Product Insights on product pagesMANAGE_PRODUCTS
Change Settings (sync, alerts, timezone)MANAGE_APPS

Install and uninstall still follow normal app-install permissions in Saleor.

Settings Worth Knowing​

Open Settings when you want Pulse to match how your team thinks about the store.

  • Analytics timezone β€” used for hour-of-day views so β€œmorning” means morning in your store, not UTC by accident
  • Operational alerts β€” which alert types run, how sensitive they are, and which channels to mute
  • Data freshness β€” if numbers look behind, use Sync Now (or a full resync when you need a clean rebuild). Staff need MANAGE_APPS for these actions

You do not need to manage infrastructure here. Stay in Settings for timezone, alerts, and the occasional refresh.
