Shopping Cart TutorialThis tutorial will guide you through the basics of setting up your AFCommerce Shopping Cart. This guide is for beginners who have never set up an online store before. It will show you which order you should complete the necessary tasks to get your store up and running, as well as accepting payments online.

Customization GuideThe customization guide is a list of other documents that show you how to do just about everything you will ever want to do with the look and design of your website. It will also walk you through creating new php functions, and explain the power of the AFCommerce development environment.

AFCommerce Super Site SearchThis feature of AFCommerce.com will search this entire website, including our Support Forums, Tutorials / Guides, Function Documentation, Add Ons, and Knowledge Base.

Free Support ForumsThese forums are set up for people to ask questions about AFCommerce to the community of developers. Our forums already have a few moderators, and Paul Crinigan will be answering questions here.

Template Creation Guide This tutorial is a more detailed explanation of how to customize AFCommerce with more advanced methods. Our File Design Guide provides a quick explanation of the 6 AFCommerce files that control the entire design of your online store. This Template Creation Guide will provide examples and screenshots to help you better understand how easy AFCommerce is to modify, allowing web designers to create their own templates for their customers. This guide is new and will continue to be added to until every aspect is covered.

Shipping ModulesThe shippng modules are new to version 2. UPS is the only module that does not require advanced configuration, but this guide will explain how to set up all 3. Please note: this will be one of the last guides written because they affect the least number of users. This shouldn't take very long, but all the other guides will need to be finished before I start this one.
