mytheory. Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi, Quick question... Can we enable multistore on our existing store? Would they be able to share customers and orders, assuming the secondary store will be brand new (no existing data)? Please note that our main, existing store does have customer and order datas. I know that we can't change the shop group options for the default shop group. But what if we create a new shop group set to share customers and orders, and move the existing store to that new group. Then we would set up our secondary (new) shop under that new shop group importing data from the main shop. Would this work? Thanks! PS. Anybody know how long the import/copy takes for multistore setup... we have 5000 products with a total close to 50,000 attributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 you can run multistore anytime you want. I never tested sharing users / orders between stores, so maybe in this case other forum member will help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytheory. Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thank you! That helps me get started. I will test the other features and maybe I can report my findings in a few days. Still open to any others who may have already tried it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mytheory. Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hi, Well I found out that our main site that we've had open for a few years using prestashop can't be used to share customers and orders. So we ended up creating 2 more sites (so total of 3), but our main site will remain separate since they can't share anything. BUT the 2 new sites we created are setup to share customers but not orders. Found out you can't share info if a customer or order has already been created prior to setting up multishop. I hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
