Package Installation
The uWebshop installation is made with simplicity in mind. There is a minimum amount of steps during installation to make sure you have your shop up and running within a few minutes.
-
- Figure 1: Installation Step 1 – Choose packagefile to install

- Figure 2: Installation Step 2: Accept license & read me

- Figure 3: Installation Step 3: Wait while package is installing (installation takes some time)

Install languages
After the package is installed you can install the languages you want to install your shop for. If you already have some languages installed in your Umbraco environment those languages will be shown in the “installed languages without shop” dropdown list. The default language installed with Umbraco is “English (United States)”, this language will show up in this list.
Installing a language will install the default content tree nodes, all the language-specific properties on the document types. The first language installed will also pre-fill the nodes with data (in English). The dictionary items for the new language will be copied from the default English dictionary so the new language won’t be full of missing translations.
Tip: Install only one language to start with. Every new language you install after the first language will copy all the content tree nodes you created in the contenttree of the first language and creates all the custom properties you added for the first language for the second language as well!
Post Installation tasks
To fully enable your uWebshop installation you need to add some values to the web.config of the Umbraco installation to enable the sending of e-mails and the members.
- Add valid SMTP settings (<mailSettings>) to make uWebshop sent e-mails. If you need/don’t need SSL for your mailserver set the value of “sswsUseSSLForMail” appsetting to true or false.
- At the uWebshop settings node, you will find the property “E-Mail Adress”. This is the global e-mail address, which the site uses as fallback to sent e-mails with. For each installed language you will also find a “shopOrderEmailXX” (Where XX is the language code) property. This property will be used to send the e-mails for that language.
- Under <providers>, look for “UmbracoMembershipProvider” and change the value of the “defaultMemberTypeAlias” to “sswsCustomer”.
Hi,
Spending some time on this ‘supersimplewebshop’. It would be great if you could add to the documentation of this product. After having installed the demo webshop I feel a littlebit ‘left in the dark’…
Also this page could use an update.
“Under , look for “UmbracoMembershipProvider” and change the value of the “defaultMemberTypeAlias” to “sswsCustomer””.
If I look at my web.config, I see the following:
So I guess if I follow directions I will break the demo…..

I see the following: (wordpress does not accept xml code)
defaultMemberTypeAlias=”shopCustomer”
(in the members section I see also member type shopCustomer, sswsCustomer does not exist)
