NO HAY VUELTA ATRÁS. Asegúrese de sólo hacer clic en estos botones tan sólo si tiene la intención de limpiar su base de datos a partir de su contenido por defecto.

Configure your shop's information

Now that you have a clean shop, you can start making it your own, and that implies setting everything up to your likings, starting with your personal information and your preferences.

The shop's basic settings

You should pay attention to the following settings, most of which are important because they are displayed on the front-office, and therefore in plain sight of your customers.

Tip

Some of these settings require you to configure a module instead of changing one of PrestaShop's preferences.

Configuring a module is easy:

  1. Go to the "Modules" page under the "Modules" menu.
  2. Type the name of the module (or part of it) in the module search box. It should display results as you type.
  3. When the module is found, click its "Configure" button, and follow the instructions.

For each module presented here, you should read their documentation for more information.

Configurar la información de su tienda

Ahora que tiene una tienda limpia gracias a la reinicialización de datos realizada anteriormente, puede comenzar a configurar todo a su gusto, comenzando por su información personal y sus preferencias.

Ajustes básicos de la tienda

Debe prestar atención a los siguientes ajustes, la mayoría de los cuales son importantes, ya que se muestran en el front-office, y por tanto también, a la vista de sus clientes.

Tip

Algunos de estos ajustes requieren la configuración de un módulo, en lugar de realizar cambios en las preferencias de Prestashop

Configurar un módulo es fácil:

  1. Diríjase a la página "Módulos" bajo el menú "Módulos".
  2. Teclee el nombre del módulo (o parte de este) en el cuadro de búsqueda de módulos. A medida que escribe, se le mostrarán los resultados encontrados.
  3. Cuando encuentre el módulo, haga clic en el botón "Configurar" y siga las instrucciones.

Debe leer la documentación de cada uno de los módulos aquí presentados, para obtener mayor información.

A block presenting three links: your company's Facebook page, your company's Twitter account, and the RSS feed for your company's blog (or "current events" site).

Homepage contentThe default theme contains a lot of demo content: texts, images, links, etc. If you intend on using that theme for your own store instead of buying your theme, you should make sure to remove all the default content first."Theme configurator" module: this module handles a lot of things on your theme. Mainly, it enables you to switch some feature off and on (social sharing buttons, top banner, payment logos, etc.), and perhaps more importantly, it lets you easily add/change images on your home-page.
"Custom CMS information block" module: this module helps you manager the two last blocks at the bottom of the home-page, right before the footer: the "Free shipping etc." one and the "Custom block" one.
