    help question Configuration requirements

    Hi, my first adventure in selling online led me to select Zen Cart based on the implied simplicity. Perhaps it is but not for this guy. The configuration tab and all the options is pretty intimidating. How much of this is required for a store with 3 or 4 items. Is there a 'quick start' option. Its not that I'm lazy, just old don't want to waste a lot of time with features and options I don't need.
    thanks
    Rick

    There are a lot of settings available simply because of the sheer power of built-in capabilities.
    If you don't need certain features, you don't have to use them.

    Every small store with just a few products will have its own list of bare-bones needs; you have to identify which features you do need, and ignore or turn off the rest.

    One thing you need, even for a few products, is a category to put them in. This is a structural requirement of Zen Cart. You will not have to click through the category to see products if you make the appropriate admin settings.
