General settings
Settings › General settings holds your shop's details, logos, VAT setup and a few daily operating rules. Fill it in before your first sale: several values are printed on every invoice, and the VAT numbers cannot be changed once you have sold or bought anything.
Make your changes, then choose Update & save at the bottom of the page. Users without permission to change settings see the page read-only.
Note: Until you answer Has Vat ?, a banner at the top of the page (and in the portal) reminds you: "You must configure your shop is vat or not".

- Sale invoice start with is used by the first sale only. After that, invoices continue from the last number and the field is locked.
