Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use multistore to set up a 2nd shop in a folder of the new domain instead of a subdomain?
i.e. domain1.com where installation is and a 2nd shop on domain2.com/shop/ (not shop.domain2.com)
I know it works if I use shop.domain2.com but so google sees it all as the same domain, I want it to be domain2.com/shop/
As a sub domain google sees it as a different site.
Many thanks for any insights!

Sorry, I was not clear, I do understand multistore does not set up in a second folder.
I meant make a second shop appear like it was in a folder i.e. the browser would show the address for the second shop as domain2.com/shopr/
when OC installation is on domain1.com
So far I have only been able to get it to work on a subdomain i.e. shop.domain2.com but want the second shop to appear as if it is in domain2.com/shop/
Perhaps I should have also said, I do not have the option to 'addon domain' in my Hepsia hosting control panel. Only 'host domain' or 'Create a subdomain'
Is there a way to do this without cpanel 'addon domain' function?
Thanks again!
Not familiar with hepsia, but "host domain" should be the same thing as addon domain - as long as your hosting account allows for more than 1 domain on your account. You might want to check that first.

You could though you would need to do some code modifications and make sure customers realize why they are being redirected to check out. By default, each store has is own checkout pages though technically they all run thru the site where opencart is installed.India12 wrote:Hey can you have the multi stores i.e. site 2, 3 and 4 check out via site 1 so that you only need the one SSL??

Many thanks for your reply, can I ask have you actually achieved this?
i.e. OC installation at domain1.com and a multistore in a folder on a different domain i.e domain2.com/shop/
?
My host has come back to me to say "After making in depth online research on the case I have found statements by the OpenCart technical support that the multi-store feature is not designed to operate with subdirectories instead of subdomains."
Appreciate if you or anyone who has achieved this might share how.
Many thanks!

I am not a coder and have not been able to find what would be needed to change the code to work for a folder in a different domain, can anyone help on this?
I am sure it would be something of help to lots of people once a working solution is found and would make multistore more useful by increasing google ranking by other stores appearing to be IN the other domain itself, rather than a separate sub domain :-)
I think you are getting hung up by the idea of running the other domain "in a folder". With opencart, all but the domain it is installed on are "virtual" domains in a way - no software is installed or runs from those domains, you just have to point them to the opencart files and set the url in opencart > settings. So there are no "folders" for it to run from, just the url set up the way you want, including with a /subname/ if that is how you want it.

I get an error of 'invalid domain' when I try to set up a new domain in a folder in my Hepsia control panel.
So still looking for a way to achieve this (on the same server) if anyone can help
domain1.com = OCinstallation
domain2.com/shop/ = 2nd store using multistore

My host kindly offered to set it up for me... but their solution does not work.
They also then said "After making in depth online research on the case I have found statements by the OpenCart technical support that the multi-store feature is not designed to operate with subdirectories instead of subdomains."
But when asked where they got the info. from 'it was not documented' was their reply, so I am still stuck.
I'd have thought everyone would have preferred to be able to have multistores in folders of other domains for seo, so it would be seen by Google as being on the same domain - maybe it is just not possible?
Though I know you said you had achieved it, so there is hope!

New to OC and multi-stores and read a lot of threads but would like to confirm a few things. I'm interested in created a wholesale and retail store with same backend. Retail customers are just that, they buy stuff and checkout. Wholesale requires approval for accounts before ordering and will have 1st order minimums. Products are the same being sold to both stores and share the same inventory (thus multi-store setup).
1) Will checkout follow the store domain as well? E.g. If checkout in store2 and the whole process would show store2 in url.
2) Settings in checkout be independent of each store? e.g. shipping and payment options. (by default or do I need some type of extension to do this?)
3) Can I use the same product images across both stores? Do I have option to upload new images per store?
Sorry, if this has been asked but way too much info out there and didn't find much for this.
Thanks,
Simon

You need an extension to do this. By default, they are the same across all stores.

Yes all the product images are the same across all stores. I do not know of a mod letting you set a new image per store (though would be nice).

Follow the steps EXACTLY at the beginning of this post. You do NOT want to do a redirection, but a document root.
Also, double check your config files and make sure your have your main domain set with the /df/ part
