Configuring Your Site Settings
The Site Settings Page (access by clicking the "settings" administrative link) contains general information that is used throughout your site.  Much of the information on the Site Settings page is self-explanatory. Below is an explanation of the fields on the Site Settings page: Store Name Store Address: The physical address of your business. Store Telephone1: Your main telephone number Store Telephone 2: Use this field for a fax number or alternate number. Homepage Intro Text: Enter some interesting information about your products here. You can include a few simple html tags to make some things stand out. Messages here will show on your homepage. Note: Some websites may have home page text in a main category. Your designer will let you know if this is the case for your website. Info Email: The default store email. This is the email address where your contant form will be sent. Order Info: Place any special information you would like to appear at the top of the My Cart page. This is important if there is something unique about your ordering process. Shipping Notes: Place any universal shipping information you would like to see on the checkout pages. For example, shoppers generally like to know how long it takes for orders to be shipped out. Note: If you will have more than one shipping method available, you can create individual shipping notes later, in the shipping section. Send Orders To: put the email address(es) of those people in your company who will receive customer orders. Put one email address per line. Be sure the email address you are using is properly set up and you have tested it before making the site live. This field is used for non-secure order information. Secure information such as credit card numbers will not appear in these emails. Order Confirmation From Address: This is the email address the order confirmation emails come from. Order Confirmation Subject: This is the subject line for emails generated when customers order from your site. Order Confirmation Message: This is the message customers receive in the email confirming their order. Order Thank You Page Text: The message that appears in the browser after a customer places an order. Tell a Friend Thank You Message: The thank you message that will appear on the browser page when someone uses the Tell a Friend link on your website. Tell a Friend Email Message: This will be added to the email sent to the "friend" from the Tell a Friend form. Enter a short paragraph about your business. Default Page Title: This is the default browser page title shown if nothing else is specified for a particular page. Meta Description: A statement describing your company, used by some search engines. Meta Keywords: Keyword phrases unique to your business, used by some search engines. Minimum Order Amount: (optional) If someone tries to order less than the amount entered in this field, they will get a message stating they have ordered less than the minimum amount as well as a link to continue shopping. Leave this blank if you have no minimum. Ad Tracking HTML: If you are buying pay-per-click advertising, you can paste the confirmation code provided by Google, Overture, or others here to enable the click-through tracking offered by those vendors.
