> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

This page describes basic E-commerce Solution configuration scenarios in the context of multi-site environment. There are three such scenarios:

## Single site (on-line store)

If you only have one on-line store, we recommend that you use site-specific data only. This approach helps you build other on-line stores in the future easily.

## Multiple sites (on-line stores) with one owner

This scenario concerns multiple sites (on-line stores) that are owned and managed by a single owner. Typically, the owner wants to share global data across more sites. Configuration of [objects with both site and global option](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/e-commerce-features/configuring-and-managing-your-store/multisite-store/using-site-and-global-e-commerce-objects.md) and configuration of [objects with only site or global option](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/e-commerce-features/configuring-and-managing-your-store/multisite-store/using-site-and-global-e-commerce-settings.md) cover typical use of global data in this scenario.

## Multiple sites (on-line stores) with multiple owners

This scenario concerns multiple sites (on-line stores) that are owned and managed by different owners. Typically, you cannot use global data because of the different owners of on-line stores. Therefore, owners must configure each website to use site-specific data only.
