Getting started

Languages

Now that you have a completely empty and clean store, the first step is to decide which languages will be supported by your store. If you plan to use more than one language, you will need to choose a primary (default) language. Additional languages can be added later, so if you're unsure, you can start with just one. Once you've decided on the languages, you can set them up in the "Languages" section of the control panel.

For more detailed information about working with languages, refer to the separate documentation section “Languages".

Currencies

The next important step is selecting currencies for your store. As with languages, you’ll need to consider:

  1. Which currency will be used for internal accounting
  2. Which currency will be used for processing payments
  3. Which currencies will be available for your customers to choose from

Although you can add currencies later, we strongly recommend giving careful thought upfront and selecting the appropriate currencies for items 1 and 2. Once you've decided on your currency set, go to the “Currencies" section in the admin panel to define them. There, you’ll also need to specify which currency will be the primary (used for internal accounting), which will be the payment currency, and which will be set as the default.

For more detailed information about working with currencies, refer to the separate documentation section “Currencies".

Categories

The next step is to build your store’s category structure. This structure is a hierarchical system that includes categories, subcategories, and the relationships between them. It can take any shape and support unlimited levels of nesting. On the Xonox platform, each product must belong to a subcategories, making the structure of your catalog especially important. You can modify and expand it as your store evolves. Category management is handled in the dedicated “Categories" area of the admin panel.

For more detailed information about working with categories, refer to the separate documentation section “Categories".

Product Cards

Next, you can start adding product cards. A product card is a collection of texts, images, and other materials that describe a specific product. Product cards essentially represent your entire product range, showcasing what you offer to your customers. Each product card is assigned to a category you created in the previous step. The textual content of a product card can be displayed in any of the languages you selected earlier. Additionally, each product card includes a price in the internal accounting currency. You can manage product cards in the “Cards" section of the control panel.

For more detailed information about working with product cards, refer to the separate documentation section “Cards".

Next Steps

The main portion of the initial setup is now complete. To fully configure your online store, you will need to complete the following additional steps:

  • Set up the store’s domain (if needed)
  • Configure email and CAPTCHA settings
  • Set up sales processes
  • Set up procurement processes
  • Configure user information fields
  • Make a series of simple but important settings
