1sweetman Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hi, I get the basic principle of Multishop function allowing you to run several 'virtual' shops offering distinct products to distinct customers but........ I run 3 Shops at moment 1=Clothing 2=Outdoor equipment 3=Computer peripherals..... Being a sole operator this requires 3 feeds, 3 paypal accounts, 3 bank account details for paypal etc...... Is it possible to use the Multishop function to combine them into 1 shop using 1 BO, 1 Googlemerchantfeed, 1 paypal account etc? And if so how do you merge the databases? Or am I being an idiot? Best wishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 first you are not being an idiot. you just treading new ground.. if it was me, I'd make a copy of one of your shops and call it testsomething.com...get it running back up testsomething.com now upgrade that shop to 1.5.2 (do not upgrade to earlier 1.5 version)... when that works..i.e. you have a good 1.5.2+ shop you can then create your additional shops on your new 1.5 then import your other two shops products./customers..obviously there is more to it than that but you will first need a good running 1.5 shop.

1sweetman Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Right have created a test shop with 2 multishops in it....does anyone know how to merge 3 distinct db's?....I can't just delete the CREATE function from one as still have duplicate records for customer 1, order 1, product 1 etc....with over 15,000 products really can't see any easy way to do this. Any ideas anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1sweetman Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Nope....have tried many many ways of doing this.....from a variety of SQL commands (INSERT, INSERT IGNORE, REPLACE, MERGE, etc). Tried converting them to .csv files and combining them.....using navicat101_mysql_en.........usually end up with corrupted db.......losing images or wrong images appearing next to description...... Still waiting for a sensible (& easy) suggestion from someone who knows more than me...... On bright side am getting better at MYSQL commands....
