1.0 Requirements Before Creating a Website

Before you can begin website creation in the CP-Commerce Admin Applet, you will first need to create a pricing scheme in the Doc Item Maintenance Applet (Step 1), then create a company in the Organization Applet (Step 2), and lastly, create a member class in the Membership Admin Applet (Step 3). You have to link the information above in the CP-Commerce Admin Applet when you create your website, so each step is compulsory. This guide will provide you with step-by-step instructions to perfect your website creation. Let us get started!
