Brazil starter store store function options

The Brazil starter store enables you to customize the options in your store. You can enable or disable any of the features, as your store requires.

When you publish the Brazil starter store, many optional features are enabled by default. For example, there is a field on the store's Registration page that asks customers to specify their gender. If you do not want this field to be displayed in your store, you can remove it by configuring an option. In general, you can change the following aspects of the store flow:

Customer interactions
Registration
Catalog
Orders
Checkout
Analytics
Store locator

Customizing the store functions of the Brazil starter store includes the following steps:

Review the Brazil starter store site flow diagram.
Review the available configuration options in this topic.
To change the settings:
- Some users might not have enough time to complete form information; because the default session timeout is 30 minutes. To allow users enough time to complete the form, a store administrator can change the session timeout properties in the wc-server.xml file to another value. The default value, as shown in the following snippet, is 1800000 milliseconds:
```
<LoginTimeout enabled="true"> 
    <Timeout display="false" value="1800000"/> 
</LoginTimeout>
```
  Based on W3C and IBM standards, setting the limit to 20 hours passes accessibility standards. For information see, http://www.w3.o../UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/time-limits-required-behaviors.html. Increasing the limit to 20 hours might cause a security issue.
  You can update your store by applying the interim fix for APAR JR44149 to provide shoppers with the capability to extend their session pass the 30-minute timeout limit. When a shopper nears the 30-minute timeout, a window displays with option for the shopper to extend the length or their session. When a shopper selects to extend the session, the session limit is reset for another 30 minutes.
  The interim fix is no longer required to resolve this timeout limitation. By default, the Aurora and Aurora extended sites starter stores display a message to shoppers when they near the 30-minute timeout and provide the option to extend the session.
