This is the stereotypical Rails approach to multi-tenancy. The database
contains, in the case of Shopify, the products of many stores (logan is a
store). The key to multi-tenant apps is to ensure that all requests are
scoped to a specific store. In order to accomplish this in a Rails app a
before_filter is used in application_controller.rb. It typically looks
like this.
def current_store
@current_store ||= Store.where("subdomain = ?", request.subdomains.last)
end
The request to retrieve products (current_store.products) will retrieve
only those records that belong to the correct (per the url) store.

I'm assuming that you mean you want the user to be able to choose to use
one or the other. You'll probably get more readable code by adding a
domain field to the stores table and have it default to your app's domain.
The current_store method could end up looking something like...
def current_store
unless @current_store
if request.domain == 'shopify.com'
@current_store = Store.where("subdomain = ?",
request.subdomains.last)
else
@current_store = Store.where("domain = ?", request.domain)
end
end
@current_store
end
HTH,
