Hi, I reactivated my store after a good long while now and purchased the Starter plan. I am trying to edit my store but it doesn’t show any options like “themes” “pages” etc when I click “online store”. Is this only available for the “dawn theme” or im i missing something. Please someone let me know! Screenshot is attached below:

Did you try searching “pages” in the search bar?

That’s expected - the Starter plan doesn’t include the Online Store features like Themes or Pages; you’ll need the Basic plan or higher for that.
