Sites

Sites correspond to your online shops or warehouses with location-specific settings, such as currencies, taxes, and delivery options.

In the Emporix e-commerce system, a site represents a specific shop, warehouse, or another independent facility.

You can create multiple sites depending on your business needs, such as in the following scenarios:

• You own stores in multiple locations, where each store handles a different delivery area.

• You own stores in multiple locations, where taxes vary between each location.

• You own stores in multiple locations, where delivery options vary between each location.

You can manage your sites through the Emporix API Site Settings Service.
