Storefront & Admin API Collections

Hi, I am developing an app for a client that has different different Shopping centers (Malls) with multiple shops within each mall. I have been struggling finding the best possible way to implement this within Shopify. it doesn’t seem that Shopify has a concept of a Mall to link different shops to different Malls.

Take this scenario:

  • We have Mall1 & Mall2
  • Mall1 contains Shop1 & Shop2
  • Mall2 also have Shop1 & Shop2
  • Each shop has its own Categories, i.e. Category1,Category2… Possibly each category might have a subcategory

Can Shopify:

  1. Create the concept of Multiple Shopping Center (Malls)?
  2. Create Categories for each shop (within each mall) and filter by category on search
  3. Link products to Shop1 (for example) only in Mall1 (For example)
  4. Link products to a certain Category within a Shop

Please point me to any documentation for the API’s I can use to create such a hierarchy. also please ask more questions should you have any
