    Default How can I load all of my goods for sale and test before my shop is live

    I have been a zen-cart fan for a long time and now its time to build my own shop, I have had a read through and one thing thing I need to do is check templates, layout and also stock the store>
    I need to load the stock and this will take time, so I would like to know how is this done?

    Do I install zen-cart to my server and then can I load the shop without goods showing until I am ready?

    Or install a local shop on my pc, then some how import to my shop?

    I would like some help and guidance please

    You may want to read through some tutorials. This link is a good start:

    https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php

    The wiki also provides some good information about "how to"

    http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

    There are several ways of tackling your undertaking:

    1. You could install ZC on your live server and add / modify / play to your liking. Just make sure the search engines don't get wind of your existence whilst you are building. If there are no links to your shop then nobody can find you whilst you are having a play.

    2. You could install ZC on your local machine using wamp or xampp. Then develop to your liking until you are ready to upload the lot to your live server. Bit more complicated but not too difficult for a newbie.

    Remember: the learning is in the doing

    And you can always come back to the forum and ask your questions. Just be precise when you outline your problem(s) and always give us the version of your install and whether local or on a live server.
