Hi there,
We try to make Hikashop as easy to use as possible but we understand that it may be hard to tame during the first hours.
I suggest you to take a look at the documentation which already give you a lot of information about how to configure the shop (
www.hikashop.com/support.html
). About your different issues, you can simply make a different thread for each and we'll be glad to help you.
We are also working on tutorials to help our new users to understand how Hikashop works . Plus the last Hikashop version include a wizard which will help you during the first step of configuration. Download it and try it by yourself!
