Currency Symbol

Global discount

Enter a number in this field to discount every price in your shop by that percentage. For example placing a 5 in the field will reduce the price of an item worth $50.00 to $47.50.  This feature is great when having a sale on all items in your inventory.

Prices include GST

Specify if the price you set when adding products to your shop include GST. If this option is set to No, then GST will be calculated automatically at the checkout. If this option is set to Yes, no additional GST will be applied at the end of the order process.

Max. Image Width:

Set the maximum displayed width of images on the product page. This setting is expressed in pixels and your images will be resized when you upload them.

Max. Image Height

Set the maximum displayed height of images on the product page. This setting is expressed in pixels and your images will be resized to this height when you upload them.

Thumbnail Width

Sets the standard width of all thumbnails on category pages. A standard width creates a neat column of images for category pages and adds a professional touch to your site.

Number of Images to display per product

Enter a number to set the maximum number of images that will display for each product.  If you wish to display three images for each product, type 3 into the box.

Number of products to display per page:

This setting enables you to control how many products appear on a shop page at once. Essentially this affects how much your visitors scroll on a single page. Set this number to a low figure i.e. ‘10' to create more pages and less scrolling. Set the number to a high figure i.e. ‘25' to create fewer pages with more scrolling. The rule of thumb to follow is that if you have a large number of products in few categories, it is best to display a large number of products on a single page.  The trade-off, however, is page loading time. If you have many images with each product, it may take a long time for the products to appear on the customer's screen. This can annoy visitors and may result in them leaving the page or your site.

• Alphabetical: In order from A-Z by product name.

• Price Low to High: The lowest value product first.

• Price High to low: The highest value product first.
