Getting Started with Your Shopping Cart
Begin your journey to a fully functional online store
These are the foundational settings you should organize before adding products.
While you can add products without setting them up first, you'll likely need to go back and update each product once categories, brands, and product options are configure, so it's better to get those set up first
