**TL;DR** — Three screens configure the store globally: **Settings** (one big, sectioned form of
shop-wide switches), **Store Information** (your company identity, used on invoices, quotes and
emails), and **Customer Fields** (which address/customer fields appear — and are required — in
each flow). Languages and the custom-field labels live inside Settings too.

> **Platform note (Magento 2):** only the **Settings** screen exists on Magento-hosted stores,
> and it hides the sections that belong to CBX's own checkout (Magento owns cart, checkout
> and emails there). **Store Information** and **Customer Fields** are hidden entirely, and
> languages follow your Magento store views. See
> [CBX on Magento 2](https://docs.configbox.at/docs/4.0-preview/admin-guide/magento2/).

## The Settings screen

One form, collapsible sections — the ones you'll actually visit:

- **Languages** — the shop's **active languages** (every translatable field gets one column per
  language) and the manager default. The **Currencies**, **Tax Classes**, **Salutations** and
  **Customer Groups** managers are embedded here for convenience.
- **Checkout** — the default customer group and country, guest/registration behavior, the
  terms/refund-policy agreement gates, whether shipping exists at all (**Disable Shipping**),
  SKU display, and the newsletter preselect.
- **Invoicing** — invoices on/off, when they generate (on order / after payment clearance /
  manual upload), email delivery, and the invoice number prefix/start.
- **Reviews** — product reviews on/off and the moderation notification address.
- **Configurator** — page tabs vs prev/next buttons, whether missing required answers block
  continuing, cart button placement, the default product image, weight unit, and the
  back-office-only "show internal names" helpers. Products can override the navigation options
  individually.
- **Selection overview** — how detailed the live price summary is (overall, per page, per
  question, taxes, delivery/payment lines), separately for regular and recurring pricing.
- **Custom Fields** — the **labels** for the free-form fields on products, questions, answers
  and other records; a labeled field becomes usable across forms, rules and calculations.
- **Maintenance** — how long abandoned guest accounts and un-ordered carts are kept.
- **Structured Data & Google Analytics** — SEO markup and e-commerce tracking.
- **Analysis and Debugging** — minified assets, cache busting, performance profiling; only touch
  these when support asks.

## Store Information

Your company identity: name, logo, address, contact details, bank account, VAT/registration data.
These feed the placeholders on **invoices, quotations, emails and legal pages** — keep them
current; a wrong IBAN here ends up on real invoices.

## Customer Fields

A matrix over every customer/address field: for each of the four flows — **Checkout, Quotation,
Save Order, Profile** — you tick whether the field is **shown** and whether it is **required**.
This is how you require the VAT number at checkout but not in the profile, or hide the phone
field from quotations entirely.

## Good to know

- Most Settings entries take effect immediately on the storefront — change, reload, verify.
- Feature-gating switches (shipping, invoicing, reviews, geolocation, analytics) hide whole
  areas of the admin/storefront when off — if a screen an article mentions is missing, check
  the corresponding switch here first.
