This page provides a setup wizard to help you configure uShop for your UNIX server. To use it, just fill out the form below and then press "Submit". The wizard will automatically generate a uShop CGI script configured for your server along with instructions on how to install it on your server.

Note 1: The script that is generated for you is compatible with both the trial version and the full version of uShop.

Note 2: It is important that you select the correct language version. That is, the language version you choose below must match the language version of uShop that you have. For example, if you are using the Danish Version of uShop, be sure to select "Danish" below. If you are using the English Trial Version of uShop, be sure to select "English" below.
