Enable share orders for multistore group

[HaCos]

Hello,

 

When i first created this my store i didnt read all the options so i created a group back them that doesnt share order withing stores of the group.

Now i need to create a new store next to the existing one that will share orders, customers etc (i need the customer to be able to use the a shared cart within all shops in this group).

 

My questions is, can it happen now, that i have already been using my current store for a while?

 

I am currently working on PS 1.6.0.9 but i even thing of creating a new ps install, migrate existing data in a multistore group where orders are shared. Is there an easier way?

You can start to share orders (and customers as well) in a shop group anytime. If you are not sure what will happen after that, install a local copy of your shop and try it there first.

Have you tried enabling such an options after creating & running a store?

In my settings this options i locked. Looks like this http://postimg.org/image/6i07dhncf/

You are right. It is in your screen shot. You can switch in fresh shop only.

Not happy to be right :/ .

 

So the question remains, any way to switch sharing options on multistore for already lauched store?

As an alternative, created a new ps installation, migrating data from currest setup to new one & setting up the new store with sharing options enabled. Will such an options cause any trouble on migration?

I copy & paste here the following solution for "hacking" the sharing options within stores when you have already one store with orders, customers etc.. 

Maybe someone is looking for same things i did.

I solved my problem with Javiot suggestion! 

1) write down your existing shop id
2)  set id_shop to null in the  ps_customer and ps_orders   tables

3) now you can change your shop-group setting to share customers and orders

4) set the old shop_id value for the ps_customer and ps_orders table
