To adjust your on-line store settings, navigate to Site Manager -> Settings and from the settings tree select the E-commerce category. Depending on your selection in the Site drop-down list, you can either adjust the settings for a particular website, or globally if the (global) option is selected. Global settings can be inherited by individual sites if the Inherit from global settings check-box next to a site‑specific setting is enabled.
Alternatively, you can set these settings also in CMS Desk or in Site Manager -> Tools with the exception of Payment gateways settings, which cannot be set from those alternative locations.
Here you can set the following E-commerce solution settings:

If the sections tree is hidden, only stand-alone SKUs can be created from the products administration UI. Otherwise, a complete product (i.e. an SKU with its document representation in the sections tree) can be created.
•Products starting path - a path within the content tree where the subtree of product sections starts, e.g.: /Products. This subtree is then displayed in the products administration UI.

Please refer to the Display tree of product sections setting for more details.
•Related products relationship name - the name of the relationship which is used for defining related products.

•Public status for 'new products' - a product public status indicating that the respective product has been evaluated as new.

Settings which influence and modify the behavior of the E-commerce solution on the current site can be configured also in CMS Desk -> E-commerce -> Configuration -> Store settings. This part of the administration interface is divided into tabs. Most of the settings can be configured on the General tab and the ones related to e-mails, global objects and on-line marketing (i.e. conversion tracking) have their own tabs.
Please note that on the General tab in the Currencies section you can configure the main currency of your on-line store.
•Main currency - the default currency used as base for calculation of exchange rates. After clicking the Change button a new dialog appears enabling you to select items which should be converted to the new main currency based on the current exchange rate.
This tab allows you to set up and manage steps of your on-line store checkout process. Please refer to the Checkout process chapter for further information.
E-commerce solution settings in Site Manager -> Tools -> E-commerce configuration -> Store settings are organized the same as in CMS Desk -> E-commerce -> Configuration -> Store settings. However, only global configuration can be done from this location, i.e. you cannot adjust the settings for a particular site from here.
