Thanks")* Hi, If you go in HikaShop > products > Import, then select "Import products from text area" click on import in the toolbar, you will have 2 products created. Then in the Joomla menu, you should see the hikashop default menu here, just assign it a module with a position (Joomla options) and you will have the default menus displayed. You can too find in the Modules, default modules created to help the new HikaShop users. Hope this will help you.

If I deinstall the Essential version, and installer the Starter, will I get a sample shop that way? For Joomla 3.0?

It is something that we want to provide (a special package with sample data, which would allow you to have a website like our demo website easily), it is in our TODO list but I can't tell you when we would do it.
