If you want, you can first display your store on your Facebook page instead of your wall. This change will only be visible to fans of the page and not the administrator (do not be surprised if you do not see a change with your account).

Go to your page. In the configuration part (click on « edit page » button at top right), click on « Manage Permissions ».

On the right side, you will have a field « tab displayed by default ». Select « Shop » (or whatever name you gave the tab).

You can empty the cache manually by clicking the « Empty Cache » in the configuration of the module.
You can update the cache automatically by adding a cron job to the cron.php file contained in the module (https://www.votreboutique.com/modules/shopializable/cron.php).

Translate or modify a translation

Shopializable uses XML files for translation. They are contained in the lang folder (/modules/Shopializable/lang/).
If you want to change a translation, open the desired file (eg for French: fr.xml).
Each node « lang » is a translation.
The « find » child contains the element to be replaced in the template.
The « replace » child contains the translation.
If you want to create a new translation, copy the file en.xml into a new one (iso.xml). Open and edit each node as above.
You can add as many nodes as you want.
If you modify or create a translation file, remember to update the configuration Shopializable.
