in Tenant you would need a property for each tenant. you can not change the the property default on the fly like you can using the website.visualThemeSetId to let that happen. So the Themes selection would not work. I personally would like to see the visualThemeSetId moved to preferences. it is good to have the property as default if the website has not been added. the WebsiteID in xml is used to find the productstore. to try this out change the website ID and restart then go to the ecommerce site. for the backend the productstore is used also.
