Hello, let me tell you about my situation: I have 2 stores that sales the same products on 2 different countries.
So I inserted a second store, made the add-on domain and it works fine. But there is something that doesn't look good:
Shipping and payment methods are not the same and I can't disable them based on the customer country.
I can't accept a country2 credit card using my country1 credit card payment.
Another detail is now I have no choice to modify the price on each country, since the price for the store2 is based on the price of store1. Maybe I can add a field on product insert form, and then what can I do to show the price 1 or 2 depending from where is being seeing?? I was thinking on duplicating my template and then template 2 will show the price for store 2.
Maybe there is another good way for sharing the product database, so I can create a complete new opencart store and install their shipping and payment methods.
Hope someone can advice me on this.
Thanks!
I had a similar problem in that I have a retail store and a wholesale store, but I wanted to offer different shipping options for wholesale, and treat the products differently. I decided to create a duplicate store, rather then a multi-store. The drawback is that I have two separate databases, so new products have to be entered twice; but for me it provides the flexibility I need. If you decide to duplicate your store, you will need to revise your config.php, admin/config.php, and your htaccess file to reflect the new database and directory change. Also, if you have created information pages with hard-coded links, you will need to revise those as well.
Hope this helps,
JoAnne

There are mods in the extension store that let you set different shipping and payment methods by store.
Running Opencart v3.0.3.9 with multi-stores and the default template from https://www.labeshops.com which has links to all my stores.
Thanks for your advices.
If I solve the shipping and payment methods issue, I still have problems with the FAQ section will still showing info from store1.
And the pricing issue (would like to be able to set them by country). Do you think that it may works duplicating the template? So on the duplicated template I show another FAQ module and create a new field on product table named price2 for example. And then on the template2 I show price2. What do you think about this?
About duplicating: I have more than 2000 products, so I'm not completely sure if is my best choice, there are so many images... and thats why I'm trying to solve it without duplicating.
For doing that I should?
- download all files and upload them on the new ftp account And then revise config.php, admin/config.php?
. download the product table and upload it on the new database.
Thanks for your time.

To duplicate your store
1. make a backup of your store and database
2. from your c-panel, make a copy of your database - use a unique name and make sure to add a user to it (it can be the same as your original)
3. in your c-panel, create a directory - for purposes of this explanation let's call it shop2 - and transfer a copy (I used filezilla) of your original store into it; note: if your original store resides in a sub directory, transfer the contents of the sub directory into your new directory
4. go to shop2/config.php and shop2/admin/config.php - change everything to point to your new "shop2" directory and your new database
5. go to shop2/htaccess - change your "rewritebase" command to reflect your new directory
That should do it. If you have hard coded any links or manually added images (such as in your information pages) you will need to change these to point to your new directory -just click on source on your ckeditor
Note: if you want to work in admin, have only one instance open, i.e., don't open both admins simultaneously it you are going to make any changes.

Great, will try to do it tonight...
I'm using a VPS server, so I will create another cpanel account and will upload the new store.
Hope everything goes right, but I have 1 question left about this.
Is possible to use the images from store1, so I don't have to download and upload? I say it because as I have more than two thousands products, some of them with many images...
Thanks very much!

I have a really small store, so I didn't have to deal with this issue; and I'm not a developer. However, I did find this on google during one of my searches: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/ ... n-opencart which might be a good solution and speed up your cart.
