Stores

In Magento 2, a store is a grouping of website resources that shares a common customer-facing interface. A store can have one or multiple websites, and each website can have one or multiple stores.

Syntax

There is no specific syntax for stores in Magento 2.

Example

Consider the following example of a Magento 2 store setup:

• Website 1
  • Store 1
  • Store 2
• Website 2
  • Store 3

In this example, there are two websites: Website 1 and Website 2. Website 1 has two stores: Store 1 and Store 2. Website 2 has one store: Store 3.

Explanation

In the example above, there are multiple stores grouped together under websites. The stores within a website share resources such as product catalogs, customer data, and configurations. However, stores within different websites can be completely separate.

Use

Stores are used to group related information together in Magento 2. By grouping stores under websites, it is possible to share resources and configurations.

Important Points

• Each store in Magento 2 has its own configurable options such as languages, currencies, and shipping methods.
• Stores within a website share the same domain name but may have different subdomains.
• Magento 2 allows you to create multiple stores and websites for the same Magento installation, making it easy to manage different storefronts.
