Hi, a quick bit of advice if I may?

I am building a new store, no products in it yet.
The store is in a folder of a site that is powered by wordpress.

2 questions:

Would the site .htacess cause a problem viewing urls eg. end up conflicting with WP .htaccess and not sending me to the correct store pages and instead go to an error 404 on wp do you know?

Also- at what point would you reccomend intalling the mod, now when store has no products or after products are added? (Ill be adding them via a csv some 2k of products).

I see the mod has an auto mode- so wanted to know at what stage it was best to add this.

Thanks :)
