How to Set Up Prestashop Multistore
Only several shopping carts provide an opportunity to control different stores from one admin panel and PrestaShop is one of them. Multi-store feature was completed and integrated to the 1.5 version and later. The platform allows merchants to manage multiple languages, currencies and stores and more from one back-office. If you have already installed this shopping cart or wish to migrate your data to PrestaShop[1], check a simple multistore configuration guide[2].
