Stores

In CoreShop, each installation is linked to a default store, typically associated with a Pimcore site. Understanding how stores function is crucial for managing different aspects of your e-commerce platform.

Stores

Domain-Based Store Setup​

CoreShop's default setup involves one store per domain. This means your main website domain corresponds to your default store. If your platform operates across multiple domains, you can assign a separate store to each.

Tip: For more information on managing multiple sites with Pimcore, see Pimcore Sites.

Custom Store Locator​

In scenarios where you have a single site but require different stores (for example, /de-at for an Austrian store and /de-de for a German store), you'll need a custom store locator. Detailed guidance on creating a custom store locator is available in the development section.

Setting Up CoreShop Stores​

To configure stores in CoreShop:

  1. Navigate to CoreShop Menu -> "Stores".
  2. You'll see the default store linked to your main domain.
  3. To add a new store, click on the "Add" button and proceed with the setup.

Utilizing Stores Effectively​

Stores in CoreShop can be leveraged in various ways depending on your business needs:

Global Store​

  • Use Case: Managing multiple currencies, countries, and tax calculations within a single store.
  • Advantage: Suitable for a unified product and price strategy across different regions.

Country Store​

  • Use Case: Setting up a store for each country, allowing for country-specific restrictions and customizations.
  • Advantage: Ideal for businesses targeting specific national markets.

By understanding and utilizing the store configurations in CoreShop, you can tailor your e-commerce experience to meet diverse regional requirements and customer preferences.
