This is the chapter 3!

3. Prepare your Store 

NOTE: DO NOT PLACE ALL MODULES ON ONE PAGE! This cannot work, one more times: please follow my advices, you will then save a lot of times!

1. Create a new tab and name it Store, define access to everybody.
2. Create a new tab and name it My Account, define access to everybody.
3. Create a new tab and name it Store Admin. Restrict access to Admin Group only.
4. Place the module Store Admin inside ContentPane.
   • Define your own store settings (Store Name, Description, ...).
   • For the Store Page setting, select Store (the tab created at step 3.1).
   • For the Shopping Cart Page setting, select My Account (the tab created at step 3.2).
   • At the begining, it's a good idea to use the the EmailProvider as Gateway, but it's not a requirement.
     • Note that the two other providers (PayPal and Authorize) require additional parameters and a valid account on their respective web site.
   • Click on Update.
   • Expand Tax Administration, check Enable Tax, define a Tax Rate and click on Update Tax Settings if you use tax prices for your store.
   • Expand Shipping Administration
     • IT'S A REQUIREMENT TO DEFINE AT LEAST ONE SHIPPING COST! Then, define this minimun shipping cost:
       • Description = S1
       • Min. Weight = 0
       • Max Weight = 99999
       • Cost = 0
       • Click on Add
5. Go to the My Account tab. Place the module Store Account inside ContentPane.
6. Go to the Store tab.
   • Place the module Store Menu inside LeftPane.
   • Place the module Store Catalog inside ContentPane.
   • Place the module Store Mini Cart inside ContentPane.

We (team members) are Humans offering their knowledge, their work and their spare time FOR FREE to benefit the community. It would be so particularly appreciated that your messages begin with "Hello" and end with "Thank you" or any other form of politeness. Ask yourself what your reaction would be, if you were approached by me (a total stranger) on the street to ask you something without saying "Hello" nor "Thank you"? After several years of services dedicated to the community, I begin to be tired to read requests without any form of politeness.
