Multi-store with shared inventory in woocommerce


I'm trying to find the best approach to a woocommerce integration and could use some advice as I'm not 100% with the system. Basically there are 3 stores that will all share the site, each sharing products but some only offering 75% of the catalogue.

What would be the best way of handling this? I need the user to be able to pick a store location prior to entering the shop, with the relevant store's items being displayed thereafter.

The main thing is allowing all 3 to feed from one stock list but simply lock out some categories based on the selected store location.

Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • WooCommerce on standard WordPress installation cannot run multiple stories. To solve your task, you can use WordPress Multisite installation and WooCommerce Multistore plugin.

    In this case, you can have 3 sites like shop1.my-shop.com, shop2.my-shop.com, shop3.my-shop.com with common WooCommerce database, but separate stock management.
