Second store

[Soozee]

How do i open a second online store? Do I need to create a second Shopify account? I do want the info for each store to remain as separate as possible

Short answer - yes, open a second Shopify account. You can't easily run two different stores off one Shopify account, so simplest is two Shopify accounts.

I had the same question. That would be fantastic wouldn't it? lol

Yes, you have to create a second Shopify subscription, but you can do it from the same login/email address, so once you're logged in to the admin portal you can easily switch between the two. The two stores are compltely seperate. When I did this, as a starting point I exported the theme from one store and imported it into the other - that way all my settings and custom code editing were carried over (but not any products etc).

I can't figure out how to start the second store. Can I get some more details on how you did this? I would like it all under one portal.

That sounds interesting.  I may want to know more on that because I had a general store with another platform and I'm trying to move things over to Shopify now.
