Creating a Multi-Store
Invotide allows for multi-store management using only one installation. If you have one Invotide store setup, you can add multiple stores to your admin panel without having to subscribe for another Invotide plan. In order to use multi-store feature, you must be using a custom domain for your online store, if you've not yet setup a custom domain for your online store, you can buy a domain from Invotide by clicking here, if you've already purchased a custom domain then you will need to update your domain nameservers to point to these nameservers - ns1.invotide.com and ns2.invotide.com. After updating your nameservers you should then raise a support ticket requesting that your new domain name be added to your store. When you've received confirmation from Invotide support team that your subdomain or custom domain is active, then you can proceed to add the new store in the Settings section of the admin panel. Once you've added a new store, you must raise a support ticket requesting addition of subdomain for your new store.
Creating a new store in Settings
To create a new store in the admin panel, visit Settings > Stores and press "Add" button, you will be redirected to the new store setup form page. Adding a store requires information to be filled for the General, Store, Local, Option, Image, and Server tabs. In these sections you can setup a new logo, currency, language, and layout. After pressing "Save", you will see that the default store is replaced by the new store in that subdomain or custom domain's store front. See screenshot below for details.

STEP 2
The admin panel of the new store can be visited through either store sites, for example at "mystore.invotide.com/admin" or "mystore2.invotide.com/admin". Just add a "/admin" to either of your stores' locations to access the admin panel. There is only one admin panel that controls all the stores in your multi-store.Customizing the store front
Products, product categories, customers, page layouts, and more, can be edited in the admin panel and customized for each store. You can individually select which products are available for each store in the Links tab when editing or creating a product. Checking the stores in this section makes the product only available in those specific stores. When adding or modifying a product category, you can select which stores display the category in the Data tab. Customer and order info will be automatically sorted into their appropriate store in the administration side when they create an account or buy a product at that store.
