Setting Up the Mall Table

Note: If you are a StoreFlow Cloud customer, you will not be able to edit this table.

The Mall table defines your uStore connectivity parameters, including the uProduce connection and the proxy and SMTP servers details, where applicable. You can also define an alternative welcome page for your stores. The Mall page includes a single hard-coded table entry that can only be edited. Do not add a new table entry to this system table or delete this table.  

 

The Mall Table - Edit page includes the following fields:
