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. .. image:: /_images/getting-started-with-sylius/channel.png 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)**. .. image:: /_images/getting-started-with-sylius/locale.png 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. .. image:: /_images/getting-started-with-sylius/currency.png ----- 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%.
