Hi,
I'm trying to help a friend. They have an existing small publishing-business site using Squarespace and Squarespace Commerce to sell books from their catalog.
In May, they plan to add a subdomain to the site for a new imprint so that they can send visitors interested in that new catalog/imprint straight to a sub-section of the site. So, something like:
https://main-domain.com
https://new-imprint.main-domain.com
The new imprint will have a separate catalog of books, but at the same time, we'd like to use a single instance of Commerce so that a visitor to the domain can add/buy books from both catalogs with a single cart.
My questions:
- I'm assuming we can categorize the new imprint's books within the Commerce inventory then serve only items from that catalog to a product page on the subdomain. Is the feasible?
- Could we also filter out the sub imprint's books from the primary domain's product page?
- Will Commerce's cart instance be sustained over the domain and subdomain? In other words, if a user adds a book from the primary domain and the subdomain to their cart, will a single cart instance be created that contains both items?
- Has anyone with experience already done this and if so, can you forewarn me of any pitfalls?
I'm an experienced Laravel and WordPress dev, so can hopefully grasp technical answers in Squarespace speak, if required. This is my first time dipping a toe in Squarespace—I am very impressed.
Thanks,
Pat
