General information like your Company Name, Tax ID, Address, Phone Number, and Currency Type.
Basic Shipping settings, either Flat rate or Charge per product.
If you choose Flat Rate, you'll set up the Minimal order amount for free shipping, Cost per additional item, and First Item.
If you choose Charge Per Product, you'll just set the minimal order amount for free shipping. The individual shipping amount will be entered on each product.
For New order email, you'll be able to set the email address that new order notifications are sent to.

The preview option to view the notifications emails only shows HTML. Any way to fix? I'd like to see the emails without testing the checkout process every time I make a change.

Is there any way to add questions or instructions to the checkout process? For example, I want people to enter their student's name so we know who the order should be handed out to. I can't find a place to update "special instructions" field for example to say "student name" or even another place in the checkout process to instruct people to enter the name there. I tried adding the instructions under the legal links but they are small and to the side of the process. I don't think anyone is going to click on them looking for instructions on how to complete the checkout process. Please advise. Thank you.

My Site is not displaying the store settings after clicking on "Store". It says instead, Manage and Products and Orders. After I click on that the page crashes.

How can I personalize the order text in the shop area. We do not ship we just sell tickets for workshops and concert. Thank you!
