The connection string is already there; we could mention that you need to create a database named SimplCommerce or change the connection string based on your needs

- If you have SQL Server installed:
`"DefaultConnection": "Server=localhost;Database=SimplCommerce;Trusted_Connection=True;TrustServerCertificate=true"`

`"DefaultConnection": "Server=localhost;Database=SimplCommerce;Trusted_Connection=True;TrustServerCertificate=true"`
```json
{
`"DefaultConnection": "Server=localhost;Database=SimplCommerce;Trusted_Connection=True;TrustServerCertificate=true"`
}

- If you do not have SQL Server, you can use Visual Studio LocalDB:
`"DefaultConnection": "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=SimplCommerce;Trusted_Connection=True;TrustServerCertificate=true;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"`
