• ✓
  Set Currency Symbol (e.g. $) and Currency Code (e.g. USD)
• ✓
  Set Currency Decimals (2 for most currencies, 0 for JPY/KRW)
• ✓
  Enable Multi-Currency Switcher if you want customers to switch currencies
• ✓
  Set Free Shipping Threshold (e.g. $50 = orders over $50 ship free)
• ✓

  Choose a Font Family from 10 Google Font options

  Set Border Radius to match your brand style (none to full/pill)

Changes apply immediately to all pages without clearing cache — the theme CSS is generated dynamically on each request.

Enable and configure whichever gateways you want to accept. At minimum, enable Cash on Delivery so customers can place test orders immediately.

• ✓
  Enable COD (no config needed — instant)
• ✓
  Enable Stripe and paste your Publishable Key + Secret Key
• ✓
  Enable PayPal and paste Client ID + Secret. Toggle Sandbox mode for testing.
• ✓

If you have an Anthropic API key, add it to your .env first:

CopyANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-api03-your-key-here

Then go to Admin → AI Features and toggle the master switch ON. You can enable individual features selectively — only enable what you need to manage API costs. Every feature that's off falls back gracefully to a non-AI alternative.

Option A — Vendor self-registers: Direct vendors to /vendor/register. Their account will be pending approval. Go to Admin → Vendors to approve them.

Option B — Create from admin: Go to Admin → Vendors → Add Vendor. Fill in shop name, email, and password. The account is created as approved immediately.

Option C — Auto-approve all vendors: Go to Admin → Settings → General and enable "Auto-Approve Vendors". New vendor registrations will be instantly approved.
