Best thing you can do at that point is to:
1a) check out the demos on this site and see how it works on an operating site.
1b) then browse the FAQ or online manual pages. The cart is very powerful yet can be used in simple ways if you take it one step at a time. Later you can use the fancy stuff as you become more familar with how it works. You might even have to settle and go for a simpler approach until you can learn more or hire someone to assist you. But right out of the box, AgoraCart will handle 85% of the shop and store needs out there.
2) Try it out on yourself. If you have a cart setup that yer building, try setting up a second cart to experiment with. If you break it, you can delete it later or start over.
3) Also browse the live sites listed in agoracart.com
The main thing to remember is to look for the resource to help you... the online manual, this FAQ guide, the install guide, the pro member forums and the free forums are also resources to use. If your understanding of Perl or HTML needs some improvement, then try some of the resources listed inthe 3rd party resources page of the install guide or in the online manual.
Finally, if all else fails or you don't have the time and/or desire to learn it, one-on-one help or support/services are available for a fee.
