You must create and configure your web store, when the Sana add-on is installed into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This one of the requirements that is needed to connect your web store to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and use its business logic.

To open the Sana Commerce Startup Wizard, click on the  icon and enter Startup Wizard.

This is the easiest way to set up the Sana web store right after the Sana extension is installed inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It will guide you through the main settings that are necessary to configure for the correct functioning of the Sana web store, to establish connection between Sana and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and to start using the data and business logic of your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central system.

When you go through the Sana Commerce Startup Wizard:

• You can create and configure a web store.

• It automatically enables the Sana Commerce extension and all its functionality in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

The Sana Commerce Startup Wizard guides through the following steps:

If you created and configured your web store, then it is ready for trading. You can change any settings individually on the related pages in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

If the catalog is ready, and all the necessary items are set to Visible in Webshop, then update the web store index by running the Product import task in Sana Admin. For more information, see "Product import".

After you have created and configured the web store, make sure that Sana is enabled and the Web service is published in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

How to check if Sana Commerce is enabled?

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central you can work with several companies. The companies can be stored in the same database or in different databases.

In case of a multi-company solution when only one company uses Sana Commerce, the Sana Commerce functionality can be disabled for other companies. Thus, the companies which do not use Sana Commerce are not influenced by its functionality.

To check whether Sana Commerce is enabled, in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central click on the  icon and enter Sana Commerce Setup.

In the Sana Commerce Setup window, make sure that the option "Enable Sana Commerce" is enabled. By default, when you install the Sana extension in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, it is disabled. When Sana Commerce is disabled, all fields and options on the pages added by Sana Commerce are invisible and the Sana web store does not work.

 NOTE

In the log file there will be a message: "The Sana Commerce functionality is currently disabled for: [Host Name] [Database Name] [Company Name]. Please check Sana Commerce Setup".
