Enable multi-store support

Follow these steps:

  • Log in to the PrestaShop administration dashboard.

  • Navigate to the “Shop Parameters -> General” menu, enable the Multistore support and save your changes.

    PrestaShop multi-store configuration

  • Navigate to the “Advanced Parameters -> Multistore” menu. You can share the same Store Group or add a new one. This example shares the Default Store Group. Go to your default shop (called “PrestaShop” in this example), and click the “Add new shop” button

    PrestaShop multi-store configuration

  • Enter the shop name, choose the associated categories and the data you want to import from another shop (if needed). You will not be able to revert these settings. Click “Save” once done.

  • Change the URL by clicking the “Click here to set a URL for this shop” link. Enter the “Domain” and “SSL Domain” for the new shop. Also, choose the “Physical URL” (by default /prestashop/ but change it to / if you moved PrestaShop to the root URL). Save the changes.

    PrestaShop multi-store configuration

  • Edit the /opt/bitnami/apps/prestashop/conf/htaccess.conf file and add the following lines (replacing the example domain example.com with your shop domain) inside the IfModule mod_rewrite.c section.

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
