if you use a CC gateway instead of something like Paypal.
you will find that you will probably have trouble passing a Visa PCI
audit with a single db for accounting, or access to the gateway data,
particularly the CC information stored.
If you use a third party like Paypal that stores the CC themselves and
not access then you in that respect.
Then you have the problem of everyone using your Paypal account.
Not sure if you have run a Store before, but all CC and Paypal hold back
money for CC complaints.
If you don't have a long history to show you a low liability for Charge
backs they take a sizable sum.
so you would be financing all those that use you site.
These consideration are beyond ofbiz design but are real world concerns.

the easiest would be to use multi tenant for each store with seperate
websites. there is no change to code.
then use the main website of the host (defualt delegator) to link the
other website through it.
that would take some customization.

A few questions regarding Stores
1) The website ecommerce has productstoreId = 9000 (website table). So
if my
application is a clone of ecommerce do I also have to stick with
productstoreId as 9000? If I can create a new productstoreId, how do I
associate it with my application. Is it through the website table?
2) Is it possible to have 1 website with products coming from multiple
physical stores? How can we do it? We need to be able to clearly
distinguish
the stores so as to maintain the accounts. The same product might be
available from multiple stores. This is similar to Amazon.com
2.5) Can we create different administrators for each store to maintain
the
store's products/ inventory/ accounting etc?
Thanks!
