This is general information about you, the shop vendor.

List of accepted currencies

Click in the box to display a drop-down list of all currencies to select from. Click the X on a currency to delete it.

Vendor Information - Images

Type a space to see a list of all images, or the red X on the image to delete it. Click the bottom right icon on the image to edit the image information. If your media won't upload, scroll down to the bottom of the page and check to see that the long links say "WRITEABLE." If not, use cPanel's FILE MANAGER to change the "Write Permissions" on the folders listed to 755 (on some hosts 777).

File Published?

Unique Filename

A unique "alias" or name for the media.

Storing location/type

Category is filled in for you.

Upload File

To upload an image from your computer, click the BROWSE Button and select it from your personal computer. Then choose whether to upload, replace existing image or replace the existing thumbnail image. IMPORTANT: If you do not select the UPLOAD radio button, the image will not upload. Click the top right SAVE Button to upload.

Description

A description for the home page, sometimes called the "Home Page Welcome" text. Type the text like typing an email. Use the buttons at the bottom of the editor as follows:

ARTICLE Button

Link an article to the text.

IMAGE

Insert an image where your cursor is.

PAGE BREAK Button

Insert a page break.

READ MORE Button

Inserts the words "READ MORE..." so reader can click to expand and read all.

TOGGLE EDITOR Button

Terms of Service

If you require customers to read and accept the Terms of Service (turn TOS ON or OFF in CONFIGURATION - Configuration - Checkout Tab - Terms of Service), type or edit the text here.

Legal Information

Delete the sample text and insert your own disclaimers, copyright or other information here.

Shop - Additional Information Tab

Vendor - Permissions

You are already assigned to the highest level, Admin. If you want to lower your own permissions, select a different role from this box. NOT RECOMMENDED.

Shopper Number/ID

This is pre-filled in for your information. If you use website statistics, you can use this number to eliminate your own visits to your store and get a true count of visitors.

Shopper Group

You can assign yourself to a special user group, example Wholesale, so you can see your storefront as your customers do. But I recommend that you sign up as a customer to create a separate account for testing, and then in your Admin assign them to a special group.

Shipment Addresses

Most users can add an additional shipment address here by clicking the green "+" icon. But because you are editing the "Super User" record, nothing happens. You must edit your address in the next section below.

Additional Information

This is all your logon information. When you have finished, click the top right SAVE Button.
