The perfect answer! But I had exactly the same question as morechai 11 years later and the instructions are exactly the same--just as opaque--as they were then. In most of the other configuration boxes the options are described. In the Zen Wiki, this particular setting isn't even addressed--it's link redirects to configuring Gift Certificates!

I searched for this answer for an hour. Thanks again for providing it!
