Setting Up Your Store
Follow the steps outlined below to quickly
configure your store.
- Configure general store settings. Using
Utilities/Setting Link.
- Add products to your catalog. Next, you
can start adding products to your store catalog. To
do this, select StoreFront/ Products from the
navigation menu, and then click on
Add Products. The Add Product
Option takes you step by step through the process of
adding a product to your store, so it's a perfect
tool when you are just getting started with your
shopping cart.
- Add shipping options. After adding
products, you will probably want to specify which
shipping options you are going to make available to
your customers. To do this, select Store
Settings/ Shipping from the navigation menu, and
then click on Add Shipping Type. Refer to the
chapter of this document dedicated to Shipping
Options for more information on this feature.
- Add payment options. Then, specify how
customers will pay for their orders by adding
payment options to your store. Select Store
Settings/ Payment Options from the navigation menu,
and then click on Add New Payment. There are two
main types of payment options:
real time and non-real time (also referred
to as on-line and off-line payment options). In the
first scenario, the payment is processed
immediately, which is how credit card transactions
are often handled on the Internet. In the second
scenario, the payment is collected after the
transaction. Setting up a real time payment option
requires that you have an account with a payment
processing company. Read the Payment Options
section of this guide for details. Depending on the
Payment Gateway used you can also define a link
Receipt (Order Confirmation Page) and a Silent
Response (special signal from the Payment Gateway
that will update order status and distribute Digital
Goods at your store after the payment is authorized)
