Getting Started with IRP Admin

The IRP has a comprehensive — yet intuitive — administration console that enables you to control every aspect of your IRP using one central system. Most IRP users refer to this system simply as ‘IRP Admin’. It is also sometimes called the ‘back end’ to differentiate it from your customer-facing website — the ‘front end’ of your IRP.

IRP Admin is designed for the Microsoft ASP.NET framework and so every Admin page has an .aspx extension, for example Orders.aspx, Models.aspx, ShippingRules.aspx, and so forth. The aspx extension stands for ‘Active Server Page Extended’.
