Getting Started with eCommerce

Step 1: Domain Currency and Format

So that you can configure your eCommerce items completely you’ll want to ensure your domain/s are assigned to the appropriate country/cultural settings.

Going to ‘Settings’ > ‘Domains’ and under the first tab “Site Domains”, ensure the correct country is assigned (listed in the ‘Country’ column) to each domain added. If not, simply click on the current country name (which should be a blue link) to select another country and then click “Save”.

You’ll also want to assign some cultural and currency related settings for each domain (set under the ‘Currency and Format’ column). This is set to ‘Default’ to start with which cannot be changed directly. You’ll need to create additional Currency and Format options to assign here.

To do this, click on the ‘Currency and Format’ tab on the current Domains page and click the ‘Add New Format Setting’ button. Complete the fields as needed and save your new option. Now heading back to the ‘Site Domains’ tab you’ll be able to assign the new option to the appropriate domain name/s.

Step 2: Taxes

You’ll likely need to assign tax rules to various eCommerce related items (Product pricing, Shipping options...) so it’s best to set this up first.

Create tax rules under ‘eCommerce’ > ‘Taxes’ and click the “Add New Tax” button. Enter the required details and click “Save”.

If you are implementing all or many of the US State taxes you’ll be able to add these automatically when you click “Add New Tax” and select ‘United States’ as the assigned country.

Step 3: Add Products

Now you can go ahead and start creating (or importing) your Catalogs, Products and other eCommerce items.
