BrnCrsh Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi, when using multistore is it normal that prestashop has to crate a copy of the product for each shop you want that product to be shown? Also, you can share/show the same Categories on different shops but not the products of other stores they contain. This is sometime confusing. Why can't the products be "unique" and allowed to be used freely on each shop? I appreciate if someone can enlighten me on this, thanks in advance.

shacker Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 if you share the products, yes, prestashop duplicate the products, and categories, etc. You cant redo this action if you install the multistore with this option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael.kubovic Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 @fxtc Have you managed to get it working without cloning products over and over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledaanbieder Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I hear many people claim that PS 1.5.6.1 Multi Store will share also the products, but unfortunately it doesn't in our stores. In the main store 'ledaanbieder.nl' we've got 2300 products, but if we go to another store there are none. While adding a new store you can share all other things like orders, but with products it seems that 'sharing' is just making a copy of the catalog. So, if we go to the main shop that has 'shared' the catalog with the secondary shop (in the same group) and add a new product... It won't appear in the secondary. What is going wrong here? How can I really share the main catalog with ALL multistores inclusive all changes I make afterwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellebrium Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I have this problem too. If i add products in the secondary shop, i can't see there in the main shop. PS Sorry for my English... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrnCrsh Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 At the end we ditched the multistore feature. It is too "messy" to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I can find this option?From Tutorial: Sharing products and categories When you create a new store within a group, you can choose to have all or some of the categories in the new store be exact duplicates of the categories in any other store on your installation of PrestaShop. When creating a category, either for a specific store or for all the stores in the PrestaShop installation, PrestaShop registers the category for all the stores – it is simply hidden from any store where it has not been set. By associating the new stores with a given category, any change in this category will impact all the stores which are associated with it, even if the stores are from different store groups. You can therefore change the category's content once and for all from one place, including its products. But if seller from secondary shop add category or products in main story I didn't see that. But when I instal shop group I set Share customers, Share available quantities to sell and Share orders. Once enabled. Maybe I miss something?
