Netpreneur Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I've been reading through the prestashop 1.5 documentation in the last few days especially the Managing Multiple Shops section. I just can't get over the exact idea behind this 'multi store' setup. Our scenario is that we run two women's underwear shops, shop A which is on this domain www.MyShop1.com is for retail, and shop B for wholesale only which is setup on www.MyShop2.com. So we have: 1. Shop A on www.MyShop1.com 2. Shop B on www.MyShop2.com With the multi store function enabled, my questions are: 1. Can we upload all products to shop A back office on www.MyShop1.com and have all these products 'automatically' uploaded to shop B on www.MyShop2.com as well? If yes, how do we go about doing it? 2. Can we manage (upload, edit, remove) products and customer orders of both shops (shop A and shop through the back office of shop A only? Anyone's tried and got full understanding of how the multi store feature work in Prestashop 1.5, I personally find it a bit confusing and hesitate to proceed further with the multi store functionality as you can't reverse some of the actions once they are implemented. Any clue/helps please guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netpreneur Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Wow ZenGraph, that was a pretty quick response from you. How do we do share/export the categories, products, product attributes, prices, product pictures, etc from Shop A to Shop B? There must be some sort of a database initiation & direct connection/communication from Shop A (www.MyShop1.com) to Shop B (www.MyShop2.com) right? Here is my how Multistore tree on Shop A (www.MyShop1.com) looks like: Shop groups list: - Group: Default - Shop A > www.MyShop1.com - Group: Wholesale - Shop B > www.MyShop2.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenGraph Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 you did good on your setup, but now you need to point your domain to the same physical path on disk, if you are using Cpanel this is easy to do as you only have to park the second domain under the first one and prestashop will manage both of your shop from the main one, be careful in the backoffice to configure each shop correctly, there is a Shop selector for each config section.
