====''Store Config''====

The store config section contains the general settings of the whole store. Whether the store style, the number of downloads or even time and date settings, all can be changed from here. In addition to that, you can control the tax rates as per country, set the currencies that can be used, and even add countries. 

====''Catalog''====

The catalog section talks pretty much about itself. From here you can view the available products, add new products, and edit the options of a certain product or products. You can even divide your products into categories of your choice to present them to your customer in a better way.

====''Admin Users''====

From the admin users section, you can create new administrators in case you have more than one person managing the store and that need administrator privileges. Moreover, you can track the work of the administrators by using the admin session page where you are capable to see when every administrator has logged in and out.
