The store/localsite directory is just a place holder for you to put any
custom models or non-satchmo parts to your site.

For instance, if you had a store that included a blog, you could put that in
localsite. You are free to delete or rename localsite to whatever you like
(provided you make the same change in your installed_apps). In other words,
it's purely for illustrative purposes to show you how to integrate Satchmo
with other non-Satchmo apps.

The local_settings.py file is more useful for the dev vs. deployment
solution as well as providing a way to isolate your settings that you might
not want to check into version control. Settings.py imports
local_settings.py so  think of settings and local_settings as being tied
together in order for you to manage your Satchmo development workflow.

I hope this helps answer the question.
