Ok, now what about the stors SHARING cart data, so that you can checkout from any of the stores? This solution seems to dictate that the final checkout will always be on one domain.

So I’d like my customers to be able to shop on storeone.com and storetwo.com, and when they checkout, the site design and domain should be the most recent domain they were shopping on.

This prevents the confusion that would be caused if someone was on storetwo.com, and had never heard of storeone.com, checking out and being confused when they are suddenly on storeone.com…

Hey there:
I tried a couple items in this post, and specifically, I have two stores on one website, with one IP and one SSL. I am trying to get a third theme to display that combines the logos for both stores when customers to to either secure area. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to pass the information to magento to use a specific store view. Anyone have any suggestions?

No idea which version of Magento this page is talking about, so I keep searching without reading details.

Any chance this has anything to do with the onepage checkout redirecting to the cart page?

I have multiple domains running off of 1 magento installation. The base domain has no issues with the cart, but if I attempt to go through the onepage checkout on the other domains, when going to step 2, it 303 redirects me back to the cart page.

please help me to fix this.

This is my problem CJ, one site will not send the cart contents to the other UNLESS I change in the config Add Store Code to Urls to Yes. However, this break my url structure something nasty, for an already established website.

It seems that PHP wont share session cookies across IP’s only from within domains. So I might have to create my second site as a virtual domain of the first, in a folder under the first site.

I’ve read everything you’ve said about ownership, session info in the database, and have implemented it all, but nothin.

Any ideas?

I have a client who wants to have two stores with one checkout, like diapers.com/soap.com or gap.com, where you can add items from several stores to a single cart and execute a single checkout. Will all editions of Magento accomplish this, or only the paid editions?
