Magento Multi-Store Setup

Overview

Magento's multi-store architecture has three levels: Website → Store → Store View. A Website groups stores with a shared customer base and order flow. A Store (under a Website) has its own root category and URL structure. Store Views (under a Store) typically represent languages or locales. Configuration values can be set at Global, Website, or Store View scope — lower scopes override higher ones. Adobe Commerce (B2B) adds Shared Catalogs for per-company product/price visibility control.

When to Use This Skill

• When running multiple brands or country-specific storefronts from a single Magento installation
• When setting different base currencies, tax configurations, or payment methods per website
• When creating a B2B portal alongside a B2C store with different product visibility
• When implementing localized store views for multiple languages under the same product catalog
• When configuring separate checkout flows, shipping methods, or payment gateways per website
• When managing shared product catalog with website-specific pricing and visibility overrides
