  • Hi everyone, I'm Kenneth and i'm new here.

    I have some simple boring questions :) .

    Do forgive me for that ;)

    I have WAMP isntalled on C Drive for developing my Wordpress sites and i have a folder on my D drive that stores all the static sites i've made.

    Can i still create a shopping cart using FoxyCart but locally test it? Do i need a live server to test the whole thing.

    I've registered an account and the first step is setting up a store. I have some questions on some fields:

    Store URL: I don't have one (I'm developing on localhost)
    Logo URL: The logo is on a local machine

    Can i still proceed and develop? Before i make the site live?

    Regards,
    Jaysone
  • Yes you can. Since all of the links that FoxyCart gives you are absolute, you should have no problem testing locally. To further confirm that, I've done it myself!
