Step 3 in the process of building a WordPress Google Dashboard is creating the underlying WordPress page template which can use the Google Visualization API to access the data from the Google Sheets and then render the selected Google Charts or Gauges on the page. The first goal is getting the template to work with one customer’s data. Next, the developer can use Advanced Custom Fields so that the page template can deal with multiple customer spreadsheets.

Step 4 is installing a membership plugin which can restrict access to the dashboard to the specific customer it was created for. There are several different options for membership plugins to choose from which will work perfectly for this situation.
