Setting up BigCommerce Multi-Storefront

With BigCommerce's Multi-Storefront feature, businesses can create and manage multiple online stores with unique URLs and product catalogs. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that sell products in multiple regions or have different brands or product lines.

Before You Start

Additional storefronts will require their own Athos Commerce account, implementation, and the necessary BigCommerce API credentials. If you have any storefronts that you would like to set up in addition to your integrated BigCommerce store, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager.

Enable Multi-Storefront in Athos

Once the new account has been added to the Athos console and the necessary BigCommerce API credentials have been entered on the Data Sources page, the "Enable Multi-Storefront" option can be selected under the “API Settings” section.

Select Your Storefront

Any storefront “Channel” you have configured in BigCommerce should now be displayed in a drop-down list. Click the drop-down menu and select the channel you want to be associated with this Athos account.

If you don’t have any channels configured in BigCommerce, you’ll see “No channels found”.

Do not change this setting on a production Athos account, as it may result in products not displaying on your site properly. Please reach out to your Athos contact to initiate the multi-storefront setup.

Perform a Manual Sync

Go to the Data Sync page and click the “Sync Actions” button, then choose "Sync Now".

View Your Products

Once the sync has completed, you can go to “Search Preview” to see the products that have been synced. Your index should now contain the product data specific to the storefront “Channel” you’ve selected.
