If you're logging in to your Volusion store or 14 day free trial for the first time, you'll encounter a series of special pages, collectively known as the Volusion easy setup wizards. These wizards are designed to guide you through the most basic steps you'll need to complete in order to set up your Volusion store.

Since the Volusion platform is a highly customizable and configurable e-commerce solution, the easy setup wizards won't cover every detail you may need in order to get your store ready to sell online, but they will cover the important initial steps.

The easy setup wizards are divided into two main types: Settings Wizard and Design Wizard.

After you've completed them, you can return to them later at any time by logging in to the admin area and clicking Dashboard >> Settings Wizard (look in the Resources section on the left side).

Design Wizard

There are a total of 5 different design wizards within the easy setup wizard collection:

Choose Template

Here you can choose from a wide variety of free templates to select the look and feel of your storefront. You can also access this page by clicking Design Template

Logos

Here, you can enter text or upload an image to act as your storefront logo. You can also access this page by clicking Deign Logos.

Site Content

Here, you can enter text or HTML to configure prominent areas of your storefront, particularly the area above the Featured Products section on your homepage. You can access the articles presented here by clicking Design >>Site Content.

Add Categories

Here, you can quickly create categories. Categories organize or structure your store into distinct product groupings. They generally make up the navigation menu of a website located either on the top to the left side of the storefront. The purpose of this menu is to help your customers navigate to their desired destination with ease.
Note that you cannot create sub-categories within this wizard, only primary categories. For more category management features, visit Inventory >> Categories.

Add Products

Here, you can quickly add products to your store. Note that not all product settings are available on this page. For more product settings, visit Inventory >> Products.


Once you've completed each of the design wizard pages, you'll arrive at a page that provides the option to view your storefront or return to your dashboard.

Settings Wizard

There are a total of 5 different settings wizards within the easy setup wizard collection:

Company

Here, you can configure vital information such as your store name, business address, time zone and domain name configuration. You can also view this page by clicking Settings >> Company.

Shipping

Here, you can select the shipping options you wish to offer your customers and the countries you wish to ship to. You can also access it by clicking Settings >> Shipping.

Tax

Here, you can configure your store to charge sales tax, VAT or GST, depending on your region's tax requirements. You can also access this page by clicking Settings >> Tax.

Payment & Security

Here, you can select which payment methods to offer your customers, and configure your store's payment card processing settings. You can also access this page by clicking Settings >> Payment.

Last Steps
