OpenCart’s multi-store feature lets you run several stores, each with its own domain, design, products, and pricing, from a single OpenCart installation and admin panel. Here’s how to set up Multi-Store in OpenCart:
- Step 1: Create a subdomain (or domain) for your new store. Through your hosting control panel (such as cPanel, under Domains > Subdomains), create a new subdomain, for example, store1.yourdomain.com, and point its document root to the same location as your main OpenCart installation.
- Step 2: Create the new store in your OpenCart admin panel. Log in to your admin dashboard and go to System > Settings > Add New (or Insert) to create a new store entry.
- Step 3: Configure the store’s settings. Under the General tab, set the new store’s URL to match your subdomain, and choose its theme. Under the Store tab, set details like store name, owner, and location. You can also configure language, currency, and other settings under the Local tab.
- Step 4: Save your changes. Your new store is now live under the same OpenCart installation.
- Step 5: Assign products to the correct store(s). For each product, go to its Links tab and select which store(s) it should appear in, so you can control which products show up in each store.
Once set up, you can manage all your stores, their products, pricing, and settings, from the same OpenCart backend.
