  6. Click ‘Activate Now’ and you are done installing

After Installation

Now that Business Manager is installed and activated, you should see the new Business Manager menu in the left sidebar of your admin dashboard. Click on this and you will be taken to the Dashboard, where there will be not much happening as we haven’t added any data yet.

Before we start adding data however, you should visit the Business Manager > Settings page to adjust the settings to suit your business.
