Multisite store basic configuration scenarios

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 and configuration of objects with only site or global option 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.
