Welcome to the TecknaShop 10 minute store builder guide

This introduction will lead you through the process of setting up your new on-line store with a single product (you can add more later). The result will be fully functional and you will be able to make a test purchase of the item from your store using a valid Debit or Credit Card. Your store is in 'Test' mode, which means that the Payment Gateway will process the transaction but will not take any funds from the card.

Step 1. Getting Started

Everything you will need is provided and this should take you a little over 10 minutes to complete. Please follow the instructions exactly and don't be tempted to experiment along the way. You can go back to any section later once you have finished, to expand and experiment with your store if you wish. Also, please ignore any on screen instructions and stick to the sequence in this Intro.

Please download the zip file from http://www.tecknashop.com/documents/images.zip containing example images (you won't be required to unzip this file) and store it in an easily locatable place on your computer's hard disk.
