DESCRIPTION
Magento Multistore, a quick walkthrough with best practices The presentation will cover the basics of a multistore setup with Magento. After a short introduction what should be considered first. We will start with the hierarchy of websites, store and store views, showing possible translations options for store-frontend, product and cms. Afterwards we will briefly cover best practices, tools and code snippets to get things done. At the end we will raise the awareness for issues like geoip, multi currencies and duplicate content.
