Understanding the settings

When you click Features > Online Store > Settings, you see this screen.

The following is an explanation of the configuration settings for the Online Store feature.

Online Store

To use the Online Store feature, you must first enable it on the Settings & Options page. Simply tick the Enabled radio button. You must have a PayPal account to use this feature. If you do not already have a PayPal account, you can sign up for one on the PayPal website.

Only Show Available Items (quantity available more than 0)

Select this option if you want only the Store items that have a quantity greater than 0 to appear in the store for purchase. If you choose this option, be sure to keep the shop quantities updated since only items with a quantity greater than zero will be available to your shoppers.

When logged in to your service, you will continue to see the items even if the inventory is zero so you can make updates and changes as needed.

Cart Handling Fee

Enter the amount that you want to be added to each checkout as a handling fee.  The cart handling fee is added just once to each purchase or you may want to use the cart handling fee to charge a shipping and handling fee for each individual item.

Purchase Confirmation

When someone puts items in their cart and checks out, you will receive an email with contact information, order details, the amount paid by the visitor, and their mailing address along with other information. This email will be sent by PayPal to the email address configured in your PayPal account.
