Scenario

Some users might want to manually migrate the non-primary site settings to the Primary website.

Solution

  1. Verify which Web Site is the Primary by navigating to Commerce > Websites > Website List
    • Take a note under the Primary column (option will ONLY appear in a multi-site account)
  2. Transfer all Web Site customization to Primary Site
  3. Navigate to Commerce > Websites > Website List and Edit the site you would like to keep (take note of all the customization).
  4. Navigate back and edit the Primary site and change it accordingly. i.e. under the Appearance sub-tab assign the correct Web Site Theme, under the Shopping sub-tab Transfer Terms and Conditions HTML:
    • Change Tabs to primary Web Site by navigating to Commerce > Site Builder > Tabs and open each Tab from the site you would like to keep and assign them to the primary Web Site
    • Change Categories to primary Web Site by navigating to Commerce > Content Management > Commerce Categories and assigned correct Categories to the primary Web Site
    • Transfer Setup Web Site customization to Primary Site

Note:

  • Before making any changes it's recommended that screenshots be taken of each section so if needed they can be referenced.
  • Assigning a tab to a different web store, removes the preferred category of the item. Default tabs Home Page/Welcome, Checkout, Shopping Cart, and Customer Center/My Account can not be re-assigned. Users would need to transfer customization manually, for example: edit the Home Page of website2.com and copy information from Greeting, Message, Page Title, etc and paste it in the Home Page of "website1.com" where website1 is the Primary site.
