PS 1..6
my business parter wants our shop to be multistore because:
unique webshop targeting each country
cheaper to send goods, as we are located in Scandinavia and wants to target both Scandinavia and USA, it would be good to have a myshop.com and a myshop.no/myshop.se websites for the different shops
some issues are unclear at the moment:
if each product should have unique label for each country (meaning for example lavel is translated to the local language)
We may want to offer different payment solutions based on what country user is in
these items are clear at the moment
if user register at lets say the .com version of the shop he cannot order from the .no webshop
problems (as I see them):
if using multi store and want to open a new webshop for each country as we go, we might run into problem that some dude in that country as already taken our domain and we must use a different domain - hurting our brand
It would mean much more effort maintaining it
Based on this I hope you guys can give me some suggestion if multi store solution is correct, or if we are better off with a single shop (myshop.com), which is customized to target each country -> it checks from where the user is living and automatically shows a version of the site unique for his country. Example, USA customers see site in Engish, Swedish customer see shop in Swedish
