We have decided to start a new business and we are going to use Magento for it.
I have some very basic questions about how we set this up and hoping you can help.
Once these basic questions are answered, we will look for someone who is an expert with Magento who can help us long term as a consultant and do some work for us.
We only have 20 or so SKUs but want to be able to do the following:
Have 20-30 separate domains and have each one have 15-18 different products on them, so not all will have the same products.
Want all domains to tie together in the backend to easily track inventory with the fulfillment center.
Want each to have it's own cart so if you are on domain123 and check out, it should look like you are checking out at domain123 and not the main site.
We want about 50% of the sites to be white hat and 50% of the sites to be black hat as far as SEO goes.
Want to be able to expand internationally in the future and have geo targeted sites so if someone from UK logs in, it shows them inventory from UK and not US on each domain.
Now as far as questions:
How does billing work with Magento?
Do we buy themes from a theme site or does magento provide them?
Is it a monthly thing and do we pay for one whole pkg or each domain separately?
If we have the black hat sites done at a different registry (godady vs enom for example) and put them on different servers, should the white hat sites be penalized when the black hat ones do?
Is it possible to tie them all together like I described?
Is geo targeting (hope that is the correct word) possible for the sites, reason is we will have 4 fulfillment centers around the world and want people to see product from the location closest to them?
Thanks for any help,
Scott
