This manual explains how to correctly add a new sales channel and configure its domain or subfolder routing.


1) Prepare for adding a new sales channel

Before creating a new sales channel, determine whether it will run in a subfolder of the main domain or under a completely different domain. The setup steps differ depending on the scenario.


2) Adding a sales channel in a subfolder

If the new sales channel is located in a subfolder of the main website

(for example:

• Main site: https://mysite.com

• New sales channel: https://mysite.com/second)

and you want https://mysite.com/second to point to https://mysite.com, do the following:

  • Create a symlink named second in the website root.
  • This symlink must point to the root folder of the main website.


3) Adding a sales channel on a different domain

If the new sales channel uses a separate domain

(for example:

• Main site: https://mysite.com

• New sales channel: https://myothersite.com)

and you want https://myothersite.com to point to https://mysite.com, follow these steps:

  • Point https://myothersite.com to the same website root used by https://mysite.com.
  • Ensure that the new sales channel domain is registered and configured correctly with your domain provider.


By completing these steps, you can successfully add and configure a new sales channel to ensure it functions correctly within your website structure.
