 +====== Store Basics 101 ======
  
 +A store corresponds to an independent subscription-based business. With SubscriptionBridge you can run unlimited subscription-based businesses through the same SubscriptionBridge account.  
 +
 +===== Adding a Store =====
 +
 +To Add a store:
 +  * Log into the Merchant Center.
 +  * Click on //Add New Store// to begin.
 +  * **Step One: Choose a Store Type** \\ For a number of reasons, you cannot convert a Test store into a Live store, and vice versa. You can have unlimited stores in your SubscriptionBridge Merchant Center, so it's a good idea to setup both a Test and a Live store.
 +    * Live Store - A live store can connect to a real payment gateway.
 +    * Test Store - A test store is pre-configured with a demo version of our Early Impact Gateway.  It acts and behaves just like a live store.
 +  * **Step Two: General Store Information**
 +    * Store Name
 +    * Store Logo
 +    * Company Website
 +    * Store Email
 +    * Hosted URL
 +    * Company Address
 +    * Time Zone Offset
 +  * **Step Three: Language & Locale Settings**
 +    * Language & Locale - Select the default language for your store. Date, time, and currency formatting will be set automatically.
 +    * Default Currency
 +    * Active Languages
 +  * **Step Four: Payment System**
 +    * Test Gateway - A fictitious payment gateway that allows you to test most features.
 +    * PayPal Express Checkout Sandbox - If you plan to use PayPal Express Checkout with your Live store, simulate the Live environment with the PayPal Sandbox.
 +
 +===== Managing a Store =====
 +
 +To manage your store find the //Store Settings// icon on the Merchant Center main menu.  The //Store Settings// page is organized with tabs.  Follow the links below to learn about each tab.
