Multiple stores, same ubercart install

Hi,

I was looking at ubercart for a webshop-solution, but I could not find the exact answer to my question.

Would it be possible to use ubercart in the following situation:

- Two webshops, different url's, layouts and checkout, one ubercart-install.
- one interface to manage the products.
- one webshop has a subset of the products of the other.

Hope you will have the answer! Smiling

Regards,

Something like this really seems like an ideal candidate for the Domain Access module. I haven't used it personally, but you might investigate it... I think the only hitch is it uses subdomains instead of different domains, but you might find more info through its project page or issue tracker.

I looked into it, and it seems that subdomains are the only option there... But maybe there is a workaround.

Would that module also solve the problem that I want some products to be available in store 1 and not in store 2?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Domain Access or an integrated module allows you to specify on the node form which site the content should be published on (much like Organic Groups).

hey Jbeculo,

I am also keen on this one mate.

Currently, I am about to release the australian shop, but I hope that my mate can run the us shop.

The only thing I want to differ on the whole process is the shop, so, the UK< and Aus have different products.

I will add different domains, so, maybe the best way is to create a subsiteie: uk.archetoy.com, and asia.archetoy.com, and these two sub-sites just have Ubercart, nothing else, then, when you go back to www.archetoy.com, that is the whole site.

My only thought would be to see if uk, ans asia... can share the userbase, and site info (shared db) from the www siute

If you get further on this one, please let me know, I haven't had any luck working out if it is feesable..

Good luck!
