Hi
I've started to read this thread and realised after about 60 posts that I'm losing the plot.

Can someone who has successfully integrated this mod answer these questions please so that I know if it will eventually be worth my while spending time on it.

I have three shops. www.equine-cortaflex.co.uk , www.equivivre-shop.co.uk and www.bestfeedsupplements.co.uk. which at the moment all run their own copies of zen-cart.
This is obviously a nightmare for me in terms of controlling stock and so I want to integrate them into one database.
However I need to understand how this mod deals with the folowing:
In terms of my domains, do I just point them all to the same directory and then let zen cart / multi-site sort them out?
Can I sell at different prices in different stores. So for instance can I have a product priced at £10:99 in one store and £7.99 in another?
Can shipping costs vary by site?
What happens where I have mods in one site that require database fields added - I'm thinking of the extra product information mod
Am I right in thinking I just have one copy of zen-cart running with three templates - one for each store?
What happens about things like contact information - can this be different for each store?
What happens to PayPal - does it all need to be paid through the same account?

Is there anything major that I can't do? that I've missed above

I would really value your input, I am currently building local sites in example.com - but I'm not sure how to replicate the 3 separate domains locally is there a way of doing it?

Many thanks

John
