# Configure settings

> Work through every settings view in order, and know which ones cannot be corrected later.

Step 2 of [migrating from TWICE 1.0](/docs/guides/migration/overview). Work through Settings in the order below — the order they appear in the product. Open every view, including the ones you expect to skip.

<Warning>
  Currency, timezone and tax settings apply to every order and cannot be corrected retrospectively. A receipt already issued keeps the tax it was issued with. Set these before any order exists.
</Warning>

| Locations       | Contact and address, cost center, opening hours, sales channels, fulfilment and return methods and hours, order numbering. | What can be sold where, which location an order is assigned to, and the hours customers can collect and return. |

| Taxes           | Tax rates and settings.                                                                                                    | Tax on every order. A later change does not correct receipts already issued.                                    |

Decide explicitly whether your prices include or exclude tax, and tell your bookkeeper what order numbering you chose. Both are hard to change once you are trading.

**Read the wording of every customer-facing email and document out loud before you approve it.** These are the parts of TWICE your customers actually see, and migrated defaults are rarely what you would write.
