Controlling the Catalog Visibility with Option 1

[lesliekirk]

The docs are very good at showing how to limit which products will be displayed in the new Option 1 store. Is there a way for these products to only be displayed in the Option 1 Store? Wouldn't the Multi-Domain URIs be a good place to control? Or have I missed something in the set up?

[lesliekirk]

I need clarification of this statement:

Each storefront shows a unique subset of products

Can the primary storefront have its own unique subset of products? Again, in other words, is there a way to only display the other store(s) subset of products in that store?

Also under the Global Data Architecture Limits Domain Independence:

While each domain can show different products

Again, it mentions "different products." Again, I am confused...

I obviously don't understand the limitations of catalog subsets:

• You understand limitations and can use catalog subsets and customizations to mask global logic.

lesliekirk When using Option 1 the primary domain will ALWAYS include ALL the products. You can not limit categories or products from the primary domain.

The second part means this:

Primary Domain: PRODUCT_A & PRODUCT_B & PRODUCT_C & PRODUCT_D
Multi-Domain One: PRODUCT_A & PRODUCT_B
Multi-Domain Two: PRODUCT_C & PRODUCT_D

Each Multi Domain can show different products.

Just to clarify:

Primary Domain - the domain name you log into the store admin with all the Branches.

Domain One - first Option 1 domain name with its own Branch look & feel.

Domain Two - second Option 1 domain name with its own Branch look & feel

For a total of 3 domain names.

Is this correct?
