How to setup multi-store in Opencart



My main site is: akusukatas.com . I install OpenCart on folder Shop, so my online store’s address will be http://www.akusukatas.com/shop

This intruction is based on my experience. You may find a different way. The steps are as follows:

In CPanel

  1. Go to your CPanel,
  2. Open Domain > SubDomain,
  3. Fill in the subdomain input filed, such as: mobile (my second store will behttp://mobile.akusukatas.com),
  4. Look at Directory Root input field, CPanel will fill it automatically. Don’t use it,.. Replace with your main store’s OpenCart installation folder. In my case/public_html/shop. Click Create.

In OpenCart Administration

  1. Go to System > Settings,
  2. Click Create A New Store button,
  3. Fill in all required fields including the logo, favicon, etc.
  4. In Store URL, fill it with http://mobile.akusukatas.com,
  5. Click Save
  6. Done!!

Don’t forget to edit Category, Product, Manufacture, and Information Pages that you want to be displayed in your second store.
