I'm new to opencart and I would like to learn more about the implementation (, internals) and usage of the multistore feature in opencart. As far as I understand, it creates another "store" that is administered by a central admin. Thus, although it implements multistore, it lacks a multivendor support. However, are the different website entities (products, categories, customers, etc.) distinct across the stores?
Thank you.
Multi-store is a single admin for muliple stores.
The Catalog allows Categories, Manufacturers, Products, Information Pages to be enabled in whichever stores you choose so can contain any mixture of common, store-combination or store-unique ones.

Interesting. Thank you for the information.
I have a few more questions though, when "shopping" from a multi-store configured site does the payment go to the admin or is the payment information configurable?
Also, when I edit a store (which is not the default store), under the "Options" tab, I see that it alters the options of the default site (I mean they edit the global option instead of altering their local options). Is that the intended behaviour?

The Store table is defined as below so they are the available store specific options (many of them set default values).
There is only one payment link which is a big failing for me too. My post here was unanswered but I think it will be a case of adding fields to the [Store] table and using them in a payment module instead of entries in [Setting] table.
I may have to cross this bridge myself soon.
