# General Settings This guide explains the Easy Digital Downloads General Settings, where you set up your store's core details. You'll find them under **Downloads** » **Settings** on the **General** tab. The **General** tab is divided into four sections. 1. [Store](#store) 2. [Currency](#currency) 3. [Pages](#aioseo-pages-51) 4. [API](#api) ![The Easy Digital Downloads General Settings menu in plugin admin area.](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/easy-digital-downloads-plugin-general-settings.png)--- Store ----- The Store section is where you manage your license key and your business information. **License Key**: What you see here depends on your version. On the free plugin, you'll see a **Go Pro** prompt where you can upgrade, paste a license key, and select **Verify License Key** to activate EDD (Pro). No license is needed to keep using the free version. On EDD Pro, you can view and manage your active license: see its expiration and renewal status, deactivate it, or click **View Extensions** to see what's included with your plan. ![Easy Digital Downloads general settings for the Store tab.](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/edd-store-general-settings.png)**Business Info**: Below that, enter your business details: - **Business Name:** The official (legal) name of your store. Defaults to your site title if empty. - **Business Type:** Choose Individual if you don't have an official or legal business ID, or Company if a registered business entity exists. - **Business Address, Business Address (Extra), Business City, Business Postal Code, Business Country, and Business Region.** EDD uses your business info to pre-populate tax fields and share with third-party services like payment gateways. If you completed the Setup Wizard, this information may already be filled in, and this is where you can review or update it anytime. **Join the EDD Community:** On a new install, a banner appears at the top of the Settings page inviting you to share anonymous usage data to help improve EDD. Choose **Allow** or **Do not allow**. You can see exactly [what we track](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/docs/what-information-will-be-tracked-by-opting-into-usage-tracking/). --- Currency -------- Set your store's currency and how it appears to customers. ![The Currency tab Easy Digital Downloads settings.](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/currency-tab-settings-general-edd.png)**Currency:** Choose from the dropdown list of supported currencies. EDD supports many major world currencies, including: - US Dollars ($) - Euros (€) - Pounds Sterling (£) - Australian Dollars ($) - Brazilian Real (R$) - Canadian Dollars ($) - Czech Koruna - Danish Krone - Hong Kong Dollar ($) - Hungarian Forint - Israeli Shekel (₪) - Japanese Yen (¥) - Malaysian Ringgits - Mexican Peso ($) - New Zealand Dollar ($) - Norwegian Krone - Philippine Pesos - Polish Zloty - Singapore Dollar ($) - Swedish Krona - Swiss Franc - Taiwan New Dollars - Thai Baht (฿) - Indian Rupee (₹) - Turkish Lira (₺) - Iranian Rial (﷼) - Russian Rubles **Currency Position**: Choose where the currency sign appears: before (`$10`) or after (`10$`) the amount. **Thousands Separator:** The symbol used to separate thousands. Usually a comma or a period. **Decimal Separator:** The symbol used to separate decimal points. Usually a period or a comma. **Note**: If your currency is not listed, you can add it. See instructions on how to add additional currencies [here](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/docs/adding-currency-support-edd_currencies/). We also have a [Multi Currency feature](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/docs/multi-currency/ "Multi Currency") for adding multiple currencies at once, or switching currencies after you've made a choice. --- Pages ----- EDD uses several dedicated pages to handle different parts of the buying process. EDD creates these for you when you install it, and you can assign or change them here. Each one uses an EDD block (the matching shortcode also works). To learn what each page does, see [Your Store Pages](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/docs/the-plugin-pages/). - **Shop Page:** The page that displays all of your products. - **Primary Checkout Page:** Where customers complete their purchases. Must include the EDD Checkout block (or the `[download_checkout]`shortcode). - **Confirmation Page:** A brief confirmation screen shown immediately after a successful purchase. Must include the EDD Confirmation block. Keep it separate from your receipt page to ensure proper conversion tracking. - **Receipt Page:** Shows a detailed receipt for an order. Use the EDD Receipt block (or the `[edd_receipt]` shortcode) so it works with the confirmation page. - **Failed Transaction Page:** Where buyers are sent if their transaction is cancelled or fails. - **Order History Page:** Shows a complete order history for the current user, including download links. Must include the EDD Order History block (or the `[purchase_history]` shortcode). - **Login Page:** Must include the EDD Login block. Setting this lets the front-end login form handle password resets. Don't use the `[edd_login]`shortcode here, since it doesn't support resetting passwords. - **Login Redirect Page:** Where a customer is redirected after logging in via the EDD Login block (or `[edd_login]` shortcode). This can be overridden in the block settings or shortcode parameters. --- API --- Easy Digital Downloads includes a REST API that can return JSON or XML data, useful for building mobile apps or displaying store data on other sites. ![The API tab in EDD settings.](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/edd-settings-api-800x421.png)**Allow User Keys:** Toggle this on to let all users generate API keys from their profile. Users who can `manage_shop_settings` are always allowed to generate keys. **Request Logs:** Toggle this on to log public API requests. Authenticated requests to the EDD API are always logged, and you can view the API request logs from this screen. For more information, see the [REST API documentation](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/docs/edd-api-reference/).
