Multi-Store Edition hits beta

Hello everybody!

Having an online store is nice, isn’t it? Well, having several ones must be even better! But to control several shops one needs a powerful tool. And today we are very proud to present such a tool — CS-Cart Multi-Store Edition. It’s only in beta yet, but it already can do a lot. Let’s give it a glance.

One back-end to rule them all

The main purpose of this edition is to give its owner an opportunity to manage several online stores from one control panel. The stores may or may not be connected to each other. We wanted to give the freedom of the choice to the store administrator, therefore the Multi-Store Edition is enriched with a variety of settings both for every particular storefront involved and for general management.

For example, one can give a totally different set of goods to every store, yet being able to share items between stores without restriction. And even for the shared items one can set different prices and descriptions on every particular storefront. One can also share customers between the storefronts or, on the contrary, separate them or even restrict their access to some storefronts independently from the others.

Appearance of every storefront can be configured separately. This includes design, blocks placement, sitemaps, menus — literally everything. You can also set regions where a particular storefront can be viewed from. The storefronts can be accessed both by different domain names and subdirectories on the same domain. All the domains just have to point to the same server where the CS-Cart instance is installed.
