2.3 Configuration SetupConfiguration Setup allows the shopkeeper to modify various shop configuration options such as categories, item description types, shipping and handling, and other configuration options. Figure 2-17 depicts part of the Configuration Setup options.
Figure 2-17 2.3.1 Separate shop into categoriesCategories can be used to aid customers when searching for products. If you have a small shop (less than 75 items), it is recommended that you choose "NO". If your shop has more than 75 items, it is recommended that you choose "YES" and separate your shop into categories. This will help your customers have an easier shopping experience. 2.3.2 Disable search engineThe search engine is recommended for larger shops where the customer knows the item number or name but is not sure about the category it’s in. The search engine features will be displayed on the main page of your shop. To enable the search engine, you must have categories enabled shown in Figure 2-17. If you have enabled categories, select no in the Disable Search Engine option. This will enable customers to search for products in your shop. Figure 2-18 shows a search engine of a shop. Searches are not case sensitive. Top of Form Welcome to our shop. Use this form to search for an item, or select a category from the list below. Search inventory for keywords:
