And yes there are valid reasons behind &#8211; it\u2019s powerful features and functionalities.<\/p>\n<p>One such feature is the ability to create and manage multiple stores within one installation. But why would anyone need multi-store functionality? Well, depending on your business model, I\u2019ve listed some of the major reasons why setting up a PrestaShop multi-store is recommended.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When you want to run both retail and trade stores while selling products at different prices to both retail and trade customers respectively.<\/li>\n<li>When you want to offer your products at different prices depending on country or customer group.<\/li>\n<li>When you wish to have multiple stores with different branding and layouts.\u00a0Prestashop multi-store allows you to install and run completely different themes\/modules and content depending on which store you are in. This means you could have two stores selling entirely different products or having two totally different target audiences all managed within one installation.<\/li>\n<li>When you wish to own a discount clearance store alongside a full-price store.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, you might have a different reason behind, these are some of the popular, or rather I would say sought after ones.<\/p>\n<p>Now, without wasting any time, I am going to help you set up multi-store for both <a href=\"https:\/\/prestawebdev.newsoftdemo.info\/prestashop-upgrade\">PrestaShop 1.6 and 1.7<\/a> &#8211; you can choose the version that\u2019s apt for your business.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STEP-WISE GUIDE TO ENABLE MULTI-STORE IN PRESTASHOP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before you create new stores, you need to enable the PrestaShop multi-store mode.
