How to enable multi-store option in PrestaShop 1.5

Newly featured in Prestashop 1.5 is the ability to run multiple stores from the same back office. This allows you to have multiple stores and keep the data completely separate, even if you have customers that shop at more than one of your stores. You can have different pricing, customer histories, etc. To enable this function in the PrestaShop 1.5 back office, simply follow the instructions below.

Enabling the multistore option in PrestaShop 1.5:

  1. Log into your PrestaShop 1.5 dashboard.
