In this blog, we are going to learn how Prestashop manages Multistore and how we can develop PrestaShop module with multistore compatibility.<\/p>\n
The multi-store feature is an opportunity to set up and manage the unlimited number of sub-shops within single back-office. By default,\u00a0a default shop gets create in a default group when we install the PrestaShop. Prestashop manages Shop group to categories and shares the data between the shops in that particular group.<\/p>\n
Shop Group is a group of one or more than one shop. Multiple shops can share the customers, orders and available quantities to sell within the same group. During a new shop creation, a shop can import the data form any listed shops except the customers and orders data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Configuration variable always works with multishop because when we call updateValue() and get() function automatically get the current context shop and shop group and save the data accordingly.<\/strong> Shop Configuration -> Shop Group Configuration -> All Configuration<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This means if shop wise configuration does not exist then only it will check the shop group configuration of that shop and will apply this value for that shop also. If the shop group configuration also not exist then only it will check for common configuration and that value will apply.<\/p>\n Here both id shop and shop group are null it means that if any shop or any shop group configuration is not saved then this will be applied to that shop groups and shops.<\/p>\n Here both id shop is null it means that if any shop of this group configuration is not saved then this will be applied to that shop.<\/p>\n The value in the configuration table will be like<\/p>\n Here both id shop and id shop group is mentioned it means that if this value is only for this particular shop.<\/p>\n To save and get the configuration we use get() and UpdateValue() function which is automatically managed multistore configuration<\/strong>.
\nShare the customers –<\/strong> All shops in this group will share the customers’ data. That means if a customer registers in any one of these shops then that customer account will automatically be available in the other shops of this group.
\nShare available quantities to sell –<\/strong> Share available quantities between shops of this group. When changing this option, all available products quantities will be reset to 0.
\nShare the orders –\u00a0<\/strong>When you enable the above two options, only then this is\u00a0possible. In this, the customer’s cart will be shared by all the shops in this group. This means if any order starts in one shop then it will be able to be complete in another shop from the same group.<\/p>\nShop<\/h2>\n
Now let’s understand how the configuration works with multishop.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nConfiguration value works in the following hierarchy.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\nThe value in the configuration table will be like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\n \nid_shop_group<\/th>\n id_shop<\/th>\n name<\/th>\n value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n \n NULL<\/td>\n NULL<\/td>\n PS_PRICE_DISPLAY_PRECISION<\/td>\n 2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \n
\nThe value in the configuration table will be like<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\n \nid_shop_group<\/th>\n id_shop<\/th>\n name<\/th>\n value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n \n 1<\/td>\n NULL<\/td>\n PS_PRICE_DISPLAY_PRECISION<\/td>\n 2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \n
\n\n
\n \nid_shop_group<\/th>\n id_shop<\/th>\n name<\/th>\n value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n \n 1<\/td>\n 1<\/td>\n PS_PRICE_DISPLAY_PRECISION<\/td>\n 2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
