Add to Cart Button Mode
Configure the shop to show "Add to Cart" button for each product or

This is where you will dictate 3 things: 1st, whether your customers will
create an shopping ‘account’ with your online store which is accessed with their
email addresses and passwords they create themselves; 2nd, whether your shop
will interface with one of the
7 real-time credit card gateways our shop interfaces with; and 3rd, if your
customers can have purchases sent to addresses other than their billing
addresses.

For a shop using the "No account setup on checkout. " Format ,
on a reorder at a later date by a customer who had previously ordered , the
shopper would still need to enter in their address information again (image to
the right). If you choose to have your customers create accounts, all billing
and shipping addresses are saved and the customers must only enter their email
addresses and passwords to check out. If you have many return customers, having
them create their own accounts may be convenient and helpful. If many of your
customers are one-time customers, there is probably no need to have accounts
created.

Next you will find a drop down menu that allows you to choose
which merchant gateway you will interface the shop with
(for real-time credit card processing) or if you will have the information
stored securely with the ‘Secure Checkout’. Everyone who wishes to accept
payment by credit card will need a way to process the cards, be it in real-time
through a gateway, or with a traditional terminal utilizing the ‘Secure
Checkout’.

If you choose ‘Secure Checkout’ (which stores the complete order with credit
card information securely in the ‘View Pending Orders’ section of your shop
owner’s panel) you will not need to fill any other fields and you may move on.

Visible – Show customer when they are ordering more than is in stock and display a custom message, ALLOW THEM TO ORDER, also email "admin" when stock is low. This option, similar to ‘Transparent’, will always allow customers to order products, but unlike ‘Transparent’ will inform the customer if he or she is buying a product which is out of stock.

You can see in the image to the right, the message states ‘The item ‘Electric Train Set’ has less in stock than the quantity you ordered – SOLD OUT’. You can see the left, the ‘SOLD OUT’ part is the custom message we have entered.

Restricted Hidden – Do not show out of stock items to customers, also email "admin" when stock is low.

This option will simply not show any out of stock items on your site.
