Note: On 1 September 2024, JTL introduced new editions that bundle most of the previous individual services into different packages. In order for you to continue working as smoothly as possible, existing customers were automatically switched to the package configuration that best matched their existing contract. The individual packages differ in terms of limitations and/or range of functions. Therefore, some of the features described in the JTL-Guide may not be available to you as part of your booked JTL edition. You can change your package configuration in your JTL customer account. Find out more about the new editions and packages here. Check our FAQ for frequently asked questions about the product editions.
First steps with JTL-Shop
The following paragraphs provide you with a short summary of the initial steps for setting up JTL-Shop. For more detailed instructions, please see the documentation of your respective JTL-Shop edition.
- Installing and getting to know JTL-Wawi: You must work with JTL-Wawi if you want to use JTL-Shop. If JTL-Wawi is also still new to you, please familiarise yourself with our ERP system first. Go to Getting started with JTL-Wawi.
- Watch the demo video and get to know JTL-Shop. The demo video briefly presents the central views and core features of JTL-Shop. This will give you a first impression of your possibilities with JTL-Shop.
- Requesting a JTL-Shop test shop: Book a four-week trial license via our Customer Centre. Please note: The test version is for testing purposes only and may not be used productively. Read here how to book a test shop: Requesting a JTL-Shop test shop.
Hint: Instead of a test shop, you can also use the free-of-charge Community Free Edition of JTL-Shop. You need to host it on your own webspace, however. You can find more information here: JTL-Shop Community Free Edition in the JTL-Store
- Getting started: Connecting the test shop with JTL-Wawi and populating it. Connect your test shop with JTL-Wawi. Follow the instructions in the JTL-Guide. Then transfer your data from JTL-Wawi or an existing online shop to your JTL-Shop test shop.
