Hosting Service

All of the technical settings for your store were set when it was created by the host administrator, with the possible exception of the URL for your store.

Store Settings

These are the IDs and URLs ShopSite uses to find its CGIs (program files) when a customer clicks on an order, or the seller clicks on ShopSite menu options.

Store URL
The Web address where your store pages are located, not including page names. This URL is set in your store.auth file. To change this address, you must get a new auth file.
"My Store" URL
By setting this field, you can change the location ShopSite goes to when you click on the My Store button in the ShopSite button bar.
Return to Shopping Button
This field lets you specify the destination page for customers who click the Return to Shopping button on the order form.
