Customer Accounts and Multiple Storefronts

Important

This article applies only to CS-Cart Ultimate. In Multi-Vendor Ultimate, the customer base is always shared by all storefronts.

The Share users among stores setting in Settings → Stores determines how CS-Cart handles customer accounts:

  • One customer base shared among all storefronts

    All storefronts will recognize a customer once he or she has registered on any other storefront. However, it may confuse your customers, especially if they’re supposed to see your storefronts as separate stores.

  • Different customer bases for each storefront (recommended)

    Customers will have to create accounts separately for each storefront.
