Dynamic Multistore feature overview

Last updated:
Edit on GitHub

The Dynamic Multistore feature lets you create and manage multiple stores within the same region in the Back Office. It streamlines the setup and maintenance of distinct stores tailored to various customer segments, regions, or product categories.

Dynamic Multistore is currently running under an Early Access Release. Early Access Releases are subject to specific legal terms, they are unsupported and do not provide production-ready SLAs. They can also be deprecated without a General Availability Release. Nevertheless, we welcome feedback from early adopters on these cutting-edge, exploratory features.

In the Back Office, in the Administration > Stores, you can view the list of stores in the current region. The Stores page shows all the stores within a specific region.

Using the Storefront APIs

Normal storefront APIs can be used to fetch data from stores using the Store HTTP header, allowing access to Catalog Search or product details.

The following image shows the ability to call API endpoints with the exemplary “SECOND” store selected in the API call itself.
