I'm opening my store using Magento 2 and looking for some advice as I don't really understand the differences between websites, stores and store views.

It's a single business running on different countries.

URL structure will be: www.mystore.com/en-us/ - US store www.mystore.com/en-uk/ - UK store www.mystore.com/en-au/ - AU store www.mystore.com/it-it/ - IT store www.mystore.com - International store (everything but US, UK, AU and IT)

  • Inventory is shared across all stores
  • Product attributes are different in each country (description, images, price and currency - beware I need to set each price manually, not auto convert through currency converters)
  • Tax are different for each country
  • Shipping options are the same (we only use one warehouse), but shipping costs and timings are different
  • Static page content (images, text) is different
  • I don't mind if customer database is global or splitted, but I want to prevent any user to register an account in multiple countries.

If anyone would have any advices on how to configure Magento would be awesome.

  • @MagenX "I don't really understand the differences between websites, stores and store views." - I think the question is clear: should UK/AU/IT be different websites or just different stores and why? May 27, 2016 at 7:25
  • i think the easiest way to understand it -- is to read some docs and create two demo stores, then websites, etc. this is your business so you must test it anyway before start.

"Product attributes are different in each country (description, images, price and currency - beware I need to set each price manually, not auto convert"

Based on this sole requirement you are looking at individual websites per "site".
