OpenCart MultiStore Setup

Description

OpenCart supports multiple stores from a single admin panel — this is the MultiStore feature. It is useful when you need multiple brands or language versions of the store on different domains but with a shared product base and single order management.

We configure MultiStore for OpenCart and ocStore: from creating additional stores to fine-grained access configuration for catalogue, themes and payment methods per domain.

Per-Store Configuration Options

• Separate theme and visual style for each domain
• Own product catalogue or shared with store filtering
• Separate prices for different stores (wholesale and retail, different countries)
• Own payment and shipping methods
• Separate email templates and senders
• Language and currency per store

Technical Requirements

For MultiStore all domains must point to the same OpenCart directory. We configure Nginx or Apache with correct virtual hosts for each domain and SSL rules for all domains simultaneously. We verify correct session and cart behaviour when navigating between stores.
