95% of all configuration has been designed to be done through the user administration panel. The white-box system has been developed to be as user friendly as possible and configurable to user requirements as we can make it through the admin panel. This gives the shop owner greater flexibility on a live system than having to code new pages and upload to the server each time. Everything that can be configured through the admin panel has an immediate effect.
Configuration is broken down into sections within a single admin page. Each section has a clear header bar and options listed underneath with reference to what the value relates to. Details configuration information is available through the user help files within the admin system.
Main areas to check over when configuring the shopping cart are as follows :-
Registration Details
Tax Information
Shopping Cart Parameters
Packing System Used
Membership Login
Shop Layout
Product Layout
Registration
You can change the registered email address, telephone and fax number. These appear on your printed invoices and customer orders if using the PRO versions of the shopping cart system.
The most important part of the system is the TAX configuration. If you are TAX registered (VAT in UK) then you need to select TAX Registered (VAT) to YES. This prints your TAX registration number on invoices and determines the way that TAX (VAT) is calculated within the system. If you do not select TAX as ON then all prices will be taken through the checkout stages withou any form of tax been allocated.

If you are TAX registered, you can choose to indicate that the price is INCLUSIVE of TAX which allows the use to shop through the whole system and pay to total amount, inclusive of tax. If you select TAX Registered and do not tick this box, TAX is added to the order quantity at th customer registration page and shown as an amount ADDED to the basket total.
