Multi-Domain and Price Groups

[lesliekirk]

Still trying to find the best way to create a second store using the same products from the main store, but offered at a different price than the main store. Reading through everything, I had first wondered if the second store could be a Price Group. It would appear, if I understand correctly, that this Price Group also impacts the main store? So the only option would be to go to the "Additional Store" to offer different pricing?

lesliekirk Correct, the only way to offer the same products at a different price point on a Multi-Domain store is to have an additional store.

Using the JSON API or custom logic you could sync the store's products but that is not an out of box feature.

FYI, I've written a module for keeping one store in synch with another. It's currently in use by a few stores.

Kent Multer - I'll email to follow up, but it would be great to know, is this just for products? The store I'm working with would like to be able to have the orders and inventory import from the second store into one QuickBooks account (the same one they use for the main store).

I'm also wondering if there are going to be any "gotchas" doing this. I am concerned about the price differences. The Additional Store will have the same products as the Main Store; the only difference will be pricing.

My most recent module only updates product data. It does update prices, but that's easy to change. In the past I've written modules that also update categories. I'll wait for your email, and we can discuss this in detail.

Thanks, Kent Multer. I'm still going through a couple of rounds of questions & answers.
