Initial shop contents
You have the possibility of setting contents for a shop which are automatically loaded when the shop is created. This could include example products, default texts for terms and conditions, customer information, or a prepared category structure, for example.
A number of files with different initial contents can be prepared. The available files are listed in the selection field Import file for new shops.
Select an appropriate file. After saving, the information is imported to all new shop based on this shops type.
Contents can only be imported for features which are activated in the selected shop type.
This method also allows you to import different initial content for different languages.
If you want to create new files, consult your technical administrator. Feel free to use the existing files as prototypes when creating your own. It is a good idea to name the files after the shop type to make them easier to identify. The files must be written in XML format. If they are not in XML format, they will not be listed in the Import file for new shops selection field.
During installation, a number of import files are already created. These correspond to the shop types and are named as such.
If you want a shop of a particular type to be empty after creation, assign the file Empty.xml to it.
