My advice is to create copy of your existing shop, say in subdomain.  there enable multishop and use another sub-domain for example.  I think native PS multishop is very good and serves good many good purposes.  I think for you to have a working multishop that you can learn with and see if it  meets your requirements will be best.  I'm pro multi-shop but for different reasons, i.e. when looking at cms as app and how we can multiplex that content across region/country.  For price by country,  this can be accomplished for most people with say my geo targeting pro module.  

 

Note: if you are going to require a different default shop currency other than main shop, the you will also need to entertain idea of separate installations, which should be avoided if at all possible.  

 

So start with devcopy of your shop, enable ps multishop, see if it meets the requirements you have and go from there.  I'd also be happy to provide assistance in geo localizing your shop as it's a hobby of mine.

 

Happy prestashopping

Hi @El Patron

Thanks for the good insights!!

This is just what I am trying to decide at the moment.

We have a pilot shop in Chile (vapura.cl)
I have just reserved the domain in Australia for the next shop (vapura.com.au)

I have 3 main concerns with SEO and manageability of the different stores.

1. What is the best choice from SEO perspetive (I think you answered already that domain.com/xx-yy (=lang-country)??
2. What is the recommended/easiest way to manage this kind of scenario with prestashop (It seems that there are many dark corners with Presta multishop implementation)
3. Last and probably least, what is the marketing value of having the country domain version for each country/market

To make things more complicated, we don't have a universal domain like xyz.com. It would be kinda silly to serve AU market with a .cl domain too...

The mor I read about it, it seems that prestashop is not very versatile to cater all these customisations and it would be easier to set separate shops off the bat??
