But, in principle, given a common basic design(or any number of pre-
existing design choices) mixed with a selection of color and styling,
it's possible to automatize the setup of those individual apps(each
corresponding to a store).

No. Simply in subdomains. It fits the project and seems to be the
simplest solution.

Perhaps, but automation really is key on this project. I'll have a
deeper look into Sachtmo now. It attracts me as a solution mainly
because my framework preference is always django.

It was very helpful. Will post more once I know more.
