First off, make the demo store.
The tax rate is entered in the catalog.cfg file, in someplace like
/mvend/catalogs/yourcatalog/catalog.cfg
look for lines like these (i think the defaults have OH and something):
Variable TAXAREA ME
Variable TAXRATE ME=5.5
Variable TAXSHIPPING
in this example, tax is charged in Maine (ME) and the tax rate is 5.5%.
To add products, edit products.asc, which is someplace like
/mvend/catalogs/yourcatalog/products/products.asc
If you are unsure what you are doing, try just replacing out the existing
values with your own. Remember that the fields are seperated by tabs.
When you get this working, then you can go in and edit out the fields you
don't need.
Don't forget to restart your store (someplace like /mvend/bin/restart) for
the changes to take effect.
