Hi, guys. I'm new to PrestaShop and would appreciate some thoughts regarding my particular scenario and using PrestaShop multistore. I've been reading some of the PrestaShop documentation regarding this but I'm still a bit unsure as to whether I can implement the following scenario.

 

- What I would like to do is manage multiple stores on subdomains for my clients, so client1.mywebsite.com, client2.mywebsite.com, client3.mywebsite.com, etc.

 

- All of the stores will sell the exact same 20 or so products, and I would like to be able to add products, remove products, update product descriptions, update product pricing, etc. whenever requierd across all stores simultaneously without having to go into each store individually.

 

- All of the stores will use my PayPal account and I will pay out to my clients when their stores make a sale, so I must be able to know, when a sale comes in, from which of the stores the sale originated.

 

- Even though the core of the stores, like the theme, the actual products sold, the payment method, etc. will all be identical, I would like to be able to at a store level change one or two things like, say, the logo for that store or the contact information on the contact page for that store.

 

Will PrestaShop multistore allow me to set up and manage that kind of structure?

 

And then finally, just a sort of technical question: Will PrestaShop scale okay in terms of performance as my company grows? As I start adding more and more subdomained stores to the interface, will PrestaShop handle that okay? The shops will be relatively small -- 20 items or so, all the shops will sell those same items, so it's not too heavy a load I'd say, however, there will likely be dozens, hundreds, perhaps even thousands of actual subdomained stores as time goes by. Would you say PrestaShop will handle the load okay?

 

Thanks so much for any thoughts.

If you want to share everything and do not want the overhead of a native MultiShop both in admin and performance then please take a look at this work.  Note: I created this for original PrestaShop 1.4 but have recently brought foward (by popular demand) into 1.6.

all three of these domains are the same PresaShop installation.

 

See product, scroll down in description for back office/front office demo

 

It will not support different logo, that can be done  by custom code.

Thanks, El Patron. I'll keep it in mind.

 

Please know I get excited about mutiplex content via any multishop solution..there is much to consider.  I loved native PrestaShop going MS in 1.5 and have much experience in the area.  You can certainly do as you described above using native and much more.  Native ps ms is pretty cool.  Others who want to internationalize single content across region/country is more my audience.  be very careful about using your subdomain names so as not to get duplicate content penalty.
