Two shops cannot share the same URL. If you try to give a new shop a URL that is already in use by another shop, PrestaShop will display an error.
On the other hand, you can have as many shops on one domain name as you want:

  • Using subfolders: http://www.myprestashop.com/men/, http://www.myprestashop.com/women/, http://www.myprestashop.com/kids/, http://www.myprestashop.com/pets/, etc.

    Tip

    In the case of subfolder stores, make sure to create two URLs for each store: one with the "www.", one without it! 

    For instance: http://www.myprestashop.com/men/ and http://myprestashop.com/men/

    Otherwise, customers trying to access your secondary store without the "www." in the URL will be redirected to your main store.

  • Using subdomains: http://men.myprestashop.com/, http://women.myprestashop.com/, http://kids.myprestashop.com/, http://pets.myprestashop.com/, etc.

Once the store group is set, the sharing of data between its stores is mostly finished: while you can change the setting for the available product quantities, you cannot change the customers and orders settings anymore as soon as any store within the group as at least one customer or one order.
