Here we will do the basic configuration of J2Store making it ready for the next recipe, when we will actually add a product in a Joomla! article.
J2Store is a well thought out component. It doesn't try to clobber us with unnecessary features. This makes what we are about to do really simple. So let's do it:
In the main Joomla! menu select Components | J2Store.
Click on the Options button.
Click on the Shop Settings tab. Enter your e-mail address, name, and shop name in the appropriately labeled fields.
Click on the Currency and Date tab. The page will look like the following screenshot:
If different from the default (US Dollars) enter the currency symbol and currency code for your currency in the Currency Symbol and Currency Code field boxes.
Click on Save then Cancel.
Now we have the bare minimum configuration in place so that we can add our first product.
