Overview
This article explains how to add a new store within your AmeriCommerce account and outlines the key benefits of using the Multi-Store feature. By the end of this article, you will understand both the process of creating a new store and how Multi-Store management simplifies your business operations.
Why Add a Multi-Store?
Using the Multi-Store feature allows you to run multiple websites or stores under a single admin console. Below are several reasons to consider adding multiple stores to your AmeriCommerce account:
- Manage All Stores in One Dashboard: Access and manage all customer data, orders, shipping, transactions, and sales activities for all your stores from one centralized admin console. You can assign different administrators and permissions per store for efficient team management.
- Add Any Number of Stores: There is no limit to the number of stores you can add. If you anticipate needing multiple stores in the future, it's recommended to store all product images in the "shared" folder. This enables all future stores to pull images from one location, minimizing redundancy and saving time.
- Shared Products & Inventory: Share product listings across multiple stores and manage them centrally. Updates to product information can reflect across all stores with a single action. Inventory can also be synced—when a product is sold on Store A, the inventory count will update on Store B.
- Unique Design Per Store: Customize each store individually with advanced design tools, HTML, and CSS. Use existing themes or upload custom HTML files for full branding control per store.
- White Label Yourself: Easily create white-labeled stores that pull from the same product catalog but have different branding, domain names, and content—ideal for resellers or brand differentiation.
- Easily Switch Between Stores: Quickly toggle between stores to view reports, sales, orders, and customer data—no need to log in and out or use different admin panels.
- Manage All Orders in One Place: Use the centralized Orders Dashboard to view real-time customer data, statuses, and order totals across all your stores in one location.
How to Add a Multi-Store
Adding an additional store to your AmeriCommerce account only takes a few steps:
