Multi-storefront on each — feasibility?
Magento multi-store is the gold standard: one admin, multiple stores, multiple websites, multiple store views, shared customers / catalog / inventory or independent — you choose. Three brands sharing 80% of catalog with separate themes / domains / currencies / tax rules — native.
BigCommerce Multi-Storefront (released 2022) is real and improving but constrained:
- Available on Pro + Enterprise plans only
- Each storefront shares the catalog; per-storefront pricing / inventory rules are limited
- Customer accounts can be shared or per-storefront, configurable
- Separate themes per storefront, separate checkout
For 2–3 closely-related brands sharing most catalog: BC Multi-Storefront is fine and easier than Magento (no DevOps multiplier).
For 5+ stores, deeply-different catalog rules per store, B2B + D2C splits, country-specific tax / pricing logic: Magento bends, BC starts working against you.
