Because Magento natively supports the creation and management of multiple stores in a single Magento installation, Magento has a hierarchy of concepts that define the relationship between the individual stores in a Magento installation.
In Magento, a website is a collection of stores, which themselves are collections of store views. These layers, although perhaps initially
confusing, provide you with powerf ul flexibility
when setting up online businesses in Magento.
A website is made up of one or more stores which share the same customer information, order
information and
shoppi ng cart.
Stores are collections of store views and
can be setup in a
variety of ways. Their main function is to provide a logical container that allows you to group related store views together in a
website.
Store Views are the actual store instances in Magento. Most stores will have a single store view associated with them. But a store can also have multiple store views, which are typically used for different languages. Therefore, if you wanted to have a store displayed in English and Spanish, for example, you could create the store once and
create two different store views for that store.
These are very broad terms that can be adapted to fit the unique needs of individual merchants. A few scenarios to illustrate the different uses of websites, stores and store views follow.
