For this live tutorial, we are giving you access to use our Google API's project OAuth 2.0 client IDs -- please, please be kind). This will make the initial setup much easier for first time users of the Google Sheet API.

2. Download and unzip the ZIP file to your Web server.
3. Make the cached-files folder writable.
4. The storefront should be accessible in your browser
5. The following Googgle Sheet provides the data for the storefront. Upcon accessing the Google Sheet, you will need to request editor access. We normally respond to each request less than 4-8 hours. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12Ljjd8dChaHq2YOExKXw77ri2UDgixQTVuZBgMY-o30/edit#gid=0
6. If you wish to modify the Google Sheets data and see the data changes in your storefront, please update the Webhook URL setting in the store_config tab. The Webhook URL should be your webhook's public URL location.

7. To publish the Google Sheets data updates to your storefront click on the Publish Store Data menu item.
