Basic Configuration in Magento 2

In this blog, we will introduce the store’s Admin tools, and also go through the configuration settings. Here, we will learn the concepts of the store hierarchy and configuration scope, and also establish best practice for industry standards and requirements.

Store Admin

The store Admin is a password-protected backend office or dashboard, where we (as a merchant) can set up products, promotions, manage orders, and also perform other administrative tasks. All the basic configuration tasks and store management operations are performed from this Admin.

In this default Admin account, we can create any number of additional accounts that are needed to handle the store and to support the customer account. Each account can associate with a specific role and level of access based upon the person’s business need.

Store Details

Store detail is a place where we can enter the basic information regarding our store, such as store name, address, language, Store contact number, country, state, and currency, etc.

Storefront Branding

It is the store front view, which has the Luma theme. The first things that we want to change is the logo in the header, and upload a favicon for the browser. We also want to update the copyright notice below in the footer. These are the basic tasks which we need to do first.

Website, Stores & Views

Magento has a hierarchy of website, store, and store views, which have one-to-many relationships. A single installation can have various websites, and each website can have multiple stores and store views. Magento 2 allows us to run multiple websites, stores with different views.

Website

By default, Magento has a website called “Main Website” initially. We can also create multiple websites, and each has its own IP address and domain.

Stores

A single website can have several stores and each with its own main menu. The stores share the same product catalog but can have a different selection of design and products. All the stores under the same website share the same Admin and checkouts.

Store Views

Each store, which is available to the customers, is displayed according to a specific view. Initially, a store has a single default view. We can create store views for different languages, designs, and layouts. Each view can have its domain, looks & feel, and language while sharing customer data, checkouts, articles, and shopping carts.

Industry Compliance

Magento 2 offers security and privacy capabilities, which meet legal requirements and industry guidelines for online merchants. Certain policies are mandated by the payment card industry, and others are required by the law depending upon your location.
