Cube Cart supports .JPG, .JPEG and .PNG only. Currently, .GIF images are not supported.

This is because there were license problems over the copyright of *.GIF files. Therefore GD by boutell.com does not support this. That's why CubeCart only allows png and jpg product image uploads. Patches are available to overcome this but are not legal in many countries and require root server access to install.

There are instructions provided with the Cube Cart ZIP download file on how to install it on your server. You will need admin access to your web server and will need to setup accounts and databases prior to installing Cube Cart. Please follow their instructions entirely.

1. First, go to the link for your store's admin utility: http://www.your_domain.com/store/admin/login.php (where www.your_domain.com is to be your domain name)
2. Enter the username and password provided by Fast Track.

The Category: These are the groups that you divide your items into. (example, frames, complete bikes, parts, etc.)
1. Store Home: This is the link that will take you to your store's homepage.
2. Admin Home: This is the link that will be bring you back to the admin homepage.
3. Products: This is where you add individual items that you wish to sell. Items get added to a "category".
4. Categories: These are the "folders" where you will place individual items for sale. You usually will want to group similar items under one category.
5. Customers: This is where you will get your list of customers once your store is live. Everyone that orders signs in to order securely and their info is kept here. You can get mailing list info, purchase history, and everything about your customers here.
6. Documents: This is where you'd put documents such as your return policy, refund policy, privacy statements (you don't sell email addresses to others), and any other general info about your store's policies up online.
7. Orders: This is the heart of your operation once your store goes live. It's here that you'll see what orders you have waiting to be filled, one's that have been filled but need to be shipped, shipped orders, returns, etc.
8. Settings are the general settings for the web site. Shipping settings, payment gateways, web site color changes, text style, and other settings are made here. usually we'd work together to set these once and they are very rarely changed after that.
9. Security: Self-explanatory......this is where you'd set security settings for your website. This is also usually done once in the beginning and doesn't have to changed too often.
10. Help/Support: This is where you'd go for help and support about using your online store once it goes live. This takes you to the web site of the store developer.
11. Other buttons: The last 6 buttons are self-explanatory also. You can backup your online store's database, email your customers a sale notice, see your license info, etc.
