How to Install/Manage multiple stores?

[Douglas879]

I have 20+ virtual host sites off my main site. How do I implement zen-cart so that I can have multiple stores, one for each of several of the virtual sites?
Do I have to reinstall the full zen-cart on each virtual site?

There is a multi site module in the free software addons link above.
Support is lacking but there is a large support thread and many have had success with it

Whilst we are Zen Cart Certified Hosts and therefore great supporters of Zen Cart you are really looking at the wrong software if you are trying to manage 20+ sites from one admin panel. For that you need Magento.

But be aware that if you use Magento and want separate checkouts for each store, each with their own web address and ssl, then you will need a full dedicated server and excellent server admins who can modify the server for you.

With 20+ stores you'll need a dedicated server anyway - even if you use Magento but don't want separate checkouts - or even if you use Zen Cart multi-stores.
