Wow - Installed in first try!

Over the last two weeks I've been downloading and installing a number of different eCommerce solutions in the quest to find the right one of me.

First I tried osCommerce. But in fact I never succeeded in getting it to work on my Windows server, even after PHP was enabled.

Then DashCommerce. Problems! My SQL server didn't have the right settings (full text search) so I had to wait until my web host was able to enable this on my server! And then it simply just didn't look professional and didn't support VAT.

Well I also tried to install DotNetNuke. Whereas DotNetNuke was rather easy to install, then it requires a lot of setup to get a decent site up and running.

But NopCommerce was installed in the first try. And is running very fine.

Why did it take me soo long to notice nopCommerce? You really need to work on your Google presence.


My only problem so far is that I'm looking for a real configuration guide:
How to setup VAT in the EU?
How to change default currency?

How to change default currency?

Admin Panel
Configuration > Location > Currencies
Change "Primary store currency"

How to setup VAT in the EU?
Good question :-)

How to setup VAT in the EU?
Go to admin area, then Configuration, Tax, Tax Settings. You can find more info here.

Will hopefully do a screen cast at some point this week detailing how to set up VAT.
