hmag Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Hi there, I've quite literally just downloaded & installed OSCommerce last night - got it running in about 5 minutes (beautiful installation setup) & got the demo up & running. However, as I'm in Australia, I'd like to install Australian tax codes & the Australian zone as the default. I wonder if someone would be kind enough to point me at some sort of walkthrough for this, or let me know how to do it - many thanks for your help. As an aside, i wonder is there any documentation for OSCommerce anywhere? Bye for now, Terry Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmag Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 Hi again, I guess I should slightly re-phrase my first post - I would like to set up the store for Australia & have no other zones, as I won't be shipping or selling outside Australia. Many thanks for your help. Bye for now, Terry Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougB Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I have added the necessary Tax Zone for Australia, to do so you need to add them from the Admin under Configuration/My Store/Taxes/etc. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmag Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 I have added the necessary Tax Zone for Australia, to do so you need to add them from the Admin under Configuration/My Store/Taxes/etc. Good luck Hi again, In looking at the admin screen, I click on the 'My Store' link, which takes me to a black & white screen, with the following menu options - Is it the 'taxes' one low down in the options you mean? Configuration My Store Minimum Values Maximum Values Images Customer Details Shipping/Packaging Product Listing Stock Logging Cache E-Mail Options Download GZip Compression Catalog Modules Customers Locations / Taxes Localization Reports Tools I really want to set up just for Australia & remove the rest, but I cant see anything obvious. should I remove the demo store & start again? When I renamed the store in the admin, I can't see anything that's changed, or do I need to change the logos & layout of the shop by hand. Please bear with me, as I have literally only had about 2 hours of experience in looking at this & this is also my first experiment with working at all with MySQL.
