Well my suggestion would be to look at similar open source ecommerce apps such as opencart, prestashop, tomatocart, oscommerce and see how they have done the self installation.
Generally, the way it works is installation steps, setup the configure file which consists of data gathered from the user for database connection, website url, username, password, store name etc. Once the configure file is done and database connection is tested, the installation script then sets up the database structure and inputs any dummy data you may have.
