2. Getting Started
 

2.1. Logging In

You may log into your 123 eCart Admin Panel at http://123ecart.com/login.php

A direct link to the login page may be found on the 123ecart.com homepage.
 

2.2. Setup Wizard

The first time you log into your Admin Panel, you will be automaticaly redirected to the Setup Wizard. Once the Setup Wizard has been successfully completed, It will not appear again, and you will always log in normally. If, for any reason, you wish to use the Setup Wizard again, you will find a link to it on the Admin Panel Homepage.

The Setup Wizard is designed to present you with a series of choices which show us how to best configure your account. You will be asked for some information such as the name of your store, your business name and address, etc.
 

2.3. Look & Feel Wizard

123 eCart was designed with the specific requirement of offering website owners an easy to use design interface regardless of their expertise.

The challenge in this is to offer a feature rich interface with advanced tools to the expert developer while still offering an intuitive and user friendly ecommerce tool to the novice.

One of the primary ways that we do this is thru the "Look and Feel Wizard".

The Look and Feel Wizard will guide you through a series of pages which help you to customize 123 eCart to your own design preferences. This enables us to present you with only those tools which you want to use and not clutter up your design space with tools which you'll never use.
 

2.4. Sales Tax Wizard

In some instances, your state or municipal government will require you to collect sales tax for online purchases. If you're not certain if you are required to collect sales tax, please ask your local government authorities.

Most merchants who are required to collect sales tax are only required to collect a tax for purchases from people who live in their own state.

If this is the case for you, you can quickly configure the sales tax portion of 123 eCart by using the Sales Tax Wizard.

Simply open the Sales Tax Wizard, select your state from the pulldown list, enter the percentage of total sales used by your locality to calculate sales tax, and press the finish button.
 

2.5. Shipping Wizard

The Shipping Wizard will ask you to choose a shipping method, then guide you through the process of setting up appropriate shipping options to offer your buyers.
