If you're setting up a BigCommerce store for the first time, we highly recommend heading over to their site and taking a look at their support resources. From their   community forums to their documentation to their BigCommerce University video series, they have everything you need to start your ecommerce journey on the right foot. 

Here are a few articles that cover the basics of setting up a store:

The BigCommerce dashboard

This is what your dashboard will look like when you first sign up for BigCommerce. You can go just about anywhere and do just about anything from here. It can be a little overwhelming at first, which is why we recommend taking  a quick guided tour to get your bearings.

Our documentation deals primarily with customizing the content and design of your store. If you're looking at the dashboard, we'll be covering the items listed under  Storefront Content, Storefront Design, and a little bit of Marketing in these docs. If you're looking for basic information on how to add products, configure categories, set shipping rates, or anything else that isn't directly related to your theme, please consult BigCommerce's documentation or contact their support center.

1. Login to your BigCommerce store's admin page.
2. Go to Storefront Design › My Themes.
3. Click button Upload Theme. On the popup, click button Select theme from your computer.
4. Choose the zip file sb_eMarket_theme_x.zip to start installing the theme. Waiting for the uploading completed.
