2 stores sharing same product names and photos

Hello all~~

I've setup my first zen cart store for wholesale purpose, and now I would like to have a retail store targetting at a different customer group. I'd like the 2 stores to share the same products names and photos and that's it. Everything else will be different. Is there an easy way to do this instead of having to upload the products one by one to the new store?

Thanks in advance ~~ :)

If your PHP skills are strong enough, you could use an advanced technique combining a dual-pricing module with a domain-detection script, and literally run it all from one Shop, even using separate templates based on what domain the customer comes from.

But it's a complicated approach and prone to problems if server configuration doesn't cooperate nicely. Dual Pricing doesn't exist for v1.3 yet, and the domain-detect script posted in the forum here a year or more ago is ... well ... a bit dated and would need upgrading to be v1.3 compatible.

But conceptually, yes it can be done.

If you're short on time and resources, you might be better to use a separate store. It'll be much simpler.

OK... Thanks for the info ! :)
