Quick start guide to using the store.

To setup the store go to your Admin area then find Store Configuration on the left sidebar and click that link.
It will then ask you to install the Store click on the button to install and will take about a minute to install.

Once installed click on the store configuration option again and now will be taken to the main settings page.

The main setting in the settings area that is important to set is "PayPal Email" fill that out will your PayPal email address which is where payments will be sent and click Save Settings on the bottom.

After the settings are saved you can now begin to add categories and products.


To add a category/product click on the Store button in the top menu.
Under the
Store Admin Panel
There is an option to add a category click on that link and fill in a category title and description and click save.


Next part is to add a product/item for sale. Go back to main Store area by clicking the store icon in the menu.
Then under the admin panel click Add Product. Fill out the product information on that page and select a category to place your products under. Key fields on this page are price, title, description and category.


Lastly don't forget about user membergroup permissions you need to enable them in order to view items and other options in the store.
These are setup under Admin -> Members -> Permissions
Then click the modify link next to each member group to give the membergroups permissions.
You will want to at least give them "View Store" permission under Store permissions
