After installing Ratals and learning the basics of the CMS, the next step is configuring your eCommerce store if you have purchased the Ratals Commerce license. Ratals includes a powerful Commerce system designed to help you manage products, inventory, shipping, payments, subscriptions, and more from one centralized platform.
This guide walks through the core Commerce setup process and introduces the main areas you will need to configure before launching your online store. The videos below will help you move from a standard CMS website to a fully functional eCommerce platform.
During setup, you will configure payment methods, shipping carriers, shipping centers, vendors, brands, and sales tax settings. You will also learn how to create product attributes, inventory items, categories, and your first eCommerce products.
If your business uses recurring billing, Ratals also includes subscription functionality. You can learn more about subscription setup and billing cron jobs in our Ratals Subscription Setup Guide.
Please note that some navigation areas within the admin panel may look slightly different from the videos depending on your Ratals version. All CMS and Commerce functionality shown is still available, although some menu items may have moved within the admin.
