Magento 2 System settings (vers. 6)
INTRODUCTION
In addition to the optical design, Magento can be adjusted in detail in its configuration menu. You have already made some settings there. Under Stores > Configuration you can further customize your shop system. The most relevant modification options are briefly presented in an overview.
The configuration area consists of a menu on the left and a wide range of setting options on the right. Click on the individual designations to open the respective options.
GENERAL
Here you configure important superordinate properties of your shop such as country options or currency. You store contact data, determine the welcome page and other content pages.
CATALOG
The main focus here is on the presentation of your products: the number of products per page, the arrangement and the price positioning. Here you upload product image placeholders, which appear until you replace them with a real image, and make settings in the area of search engine optimization.
CUSTOMERS
This is where you configure the customer access, where you can, for example, under Customer Configuration define to which customer group you want to assign new customers, and which personal data you request. You permit the creation of wishlists and make basic settings regarding your Promotions. If you send Newsletters, general options are available here.
SALES
Under Sales you can manage, for example, checkout, minimum quantities and gift options. Please note that you can not design invoices and delivery notes here, because printQ uses a template file in the file system for delivery notes and invoices. Under the menu item Sales Emails you assign the transactional e-mails, which you created under Marketing, to the sales process, for example for invoice, order confirmation, messages concerning coupons, etc. The creation of transaction e-mails is explained in the chapter of the same name (starting page 6.1). Tax rules for the whole shop are defined under Tax. In the Sales sub-menu, last but not least, you can configure payment providers and shipping methods. printQ and Magento both support a large number of payment options and providers, and we cover all the most popular ones of them, like PayPal, Payone, Easycash, DocData, Computop and Authorized.net, thus making all credit cards, direct debiting, online transfer and automated prepayment as well as all invoicing and financing payment methods feasible.
printQ and Magento are by default delivered with a connection to PayPal and Authorized.net, and of course common payment methods like advance payment or payment by invoice are supported as well. You can configure the latter, as well as the connection to PayPal, under Stores > Configuration > Sales > Payment Methods. Should you be lacking any of these payment providers, they can usually be added very easily. In this case, please address your request directly to our support.
SERVICES
The menu items Magento Core API and OAuth are standard functions of Magento, and they do not affect the functionalities of printQ in any way. You can leave the settings just as you find them upon installation of the system.
PRINTQ
This is another area in the Magento-system, where you can change settings relevant for printQ.
Approval
Select the template for the approval email, which is sent to an approver in case our approval workflow is active. See Approval workflow (vers. 6) to find out more about our approval workflow.
Store Selection (obsolete)
This configuration obsolete and will be removed in the next version.

Here you can find the possibility to upload your own logo for your invoice template, disable the invoice PDF. Or set the configuration to use the magento default invoice template without any printQ Options.
Shipment Configuration
Here you can set the configuration to use the magento default shipping template without any printQ Options.
Creditmemo Configuration

Core Calculation / Cost Center Number / Production Time / Distribute Email Configuration
Email Configuration/SSL Configuration You decide whether or not you want to use one of these functions by choosing yes/no.
Invoice / Shipping
Activate/deactivate automatic invoicing and define for which payment methods the invoice should be generated automatically.
Activate/deactivate automatic shipping and define a minimum quantity for shipment to multiple addresses.
Distribute Run Type
Open Shop deactivates automated invoicing and shipment through the printQ-distribution process. Instead, printQ will only forward the order to production and send you a job ticket after the invoice has been created, either manually (for example after receipt of advance payment) or automatically by a payment connection (for example PayPal, Payone etc.). This way, printQ ensures that no order gets into production before it has been marked as paid. To generate an invoice, for example for advance payment orders after receipt of payment, click on Invoice in Sales > Orders. Activate e-mail dispatch to the customer by checking Email Copy of Invoice Information.
Closed Shop assumes that it is dealing with a B2B-shop, in which payment is usually handled via payment on invoice within framework agreements. Therefore, the printQ distribution process will automatically generate invoices once orders have been forwarded to production and you have received a job ticket. This is a fully automated process which does not require any manual interventions.
You can also define if all orders, or only orders newer than X weeks, months or a year should be ran.

Possibility to connect uploaded files automatically to the purchased order without having the customer to connect them by using a button in frontend.
Data Center configuration / Crossmedia Configuration / API Templates Configuration
Setup for the connection to the Data Center, Crossmedia or API Templates. Those settings should not be changed without contacting CloudLab upfront, since changes here could break the connection.
WebProduct
Production Holidays
Here you can set up days on which the production will be put on hold. So those days will be added on the predefined production time.
Resize preview image
Images previews created will be set to the predefined size
Product Page Configuration
Possibilities to adjust features on the product page, as having an input field to define a project title, add a connect button for the uploaded files, hide the “add to cart” button - so selecting an amount will add the product into cart and the decision if a summary of the selection options should be visible or not.
Supplier email
If you enter various e-mail addresses here make sure to separate them by a semicolon (see also the chapter about distribution workflow, starting page 3.1).
Force Login
This feature allows you to force your visitors to log in before they see the content of your webshop. Additionally you can disable the registration or “forgot password?” Feature. If there are some pages, as privacy policy or home page which should be available without login, it can be defined in “Allowed CMS Page(s)”
