 Basic configuration
 ===================
 
+The first place you should check out in the Admin panel is the **Configuration** section. There you can find a bunch of modules used to customize your shop the most basic data.
+
+Channel
+-------
+
+The most important one is the **Channels** section. It should consist of one channel already created by you with an installation command.
+Channels contain the most basic data about your store, like available locales, currencies, shop billing data, etc. You can fulfill the channel with your desired configuration
+accessing its edit form.

+
+Locale
+------
+
+Sylius supports internationalization on many levels - you can easily add new locales to your shop to allow your customer browsing it in their desired language.
+As set in the installation command, the only **Locale** available right now should be **English (United States)**.

+
+Currency
+--------
+
+Each channel can use multiple **Currencies**, with ratio between them configured by **Exchange rates**. For now, the only available currency should be **USD**, which was
+also created by a ``sylius:install`` command.

+
+-----
+
+All the previous data was created by an installation command - but you should also add two more things to the store configuration to make it work in 100%.
+It will also be required to have them in the next chapter of this guide.
+
+Country
+-------
+
+Most of the shops ships their merchandise to various country in the world. To configure which countries would be available for shipping goods in your store, you should
+add some countries in the **Countries** section.
+
+Adding a country:

+Added country displayed on the index page:

+
+Zone
+----
+
+The last configuration step is creating a zone. They are used for various reasons, like shipping and taxing operations, and can consist of countries, provinces or different zones.

+
+Let's create a one, basic zone named *United States* for the only country in the system (also *United States*). This way the basic shop configuration is done!
