Localisation checks
The term "Localisation" is the generic term for all the parameters linked to your actual business geographical requirements. Depending on where you are living in the world those parameters can vary. The parameters include: Language, Currency, Countries, Zones, Geo-zones, Tax rates, Weight class, Length Class and so on ...Languages:
English (en-gb) is the default built-in language. If you don't need it, simply Disable it, but do not Remove it!
Language files are composed of two distinct groups: Admin Language files and Catalog Language files. They are independant from each other so you dont need to have both to use them, however it is recommended to have both sides installed.
An unlimited number of Languages can be added. To add a new Language, you need to obtain a compatible Language Pack and upload it on your NivoCart server. Once uploaded, you can then setup a new entry for it in your Admin.
Currencies:
GBP, USD and EUR are the default built-in currencies. If you don't need them, simply Disable them, but do not Remove them!
Currencies do not required any additional files as the rates are obtained automatically once a day. They need you however to setup a new entry in your Admin.
Locations:
If your business is also of "brick and mortar" and has more than one outlet, this feature can be useful to you as you can enter the characteristics of each one of your branches here, including GPS location, image and opening times.
Once created, branches will be displayed in your product form in "Stock Location" under the Data tab, and if selected, will also be displayed on the product page in the Catalog.
Branches will also appear in the Contact Us page.
