Take the Headache Out of Multi-Storefront Management with PDM’s BigCommerce Integration

TL;DR

  • Multi-storefront made easy: PDM’s BigCommerce integration lets you assign products to specific stores using multiple Channel IDs.

  • Custom category trees: Tailor category structures to each storefront’s unique needs for a better customer experience.

  • Less work, more accuracy: Automate product distribution and ensure inventory stays synced across all your stores.

PDM + BigCommerce = Seamless Control

Running multiple storefronts under one BigCommerce instance is a game-changer, especially for automotive aftermarket businesses looking to scale. But let’s be real—keeping inventory straight, managing product visibility, and juggling different category structures for each store? That can turn into a logistical nightmare fast.

BigCommerce’s Multi-Storefront (MSF) functionality allows businesses to operate multiple storefronts from a single BigCommerce backend, streamlining operations while maintaining unique branding, catalogs, and customer experiences. You can learn more about the details of MSF in BigCommerce’s official documentation here.

How and Why Multi-Storefront Works

The why behind MSF is simple: Businesses often need to serve different markets, customer segments, or regions while maintaining efficiency. Instead of managing multiple disconnected eCommerce platforms, MSF centralizes everything under one BigCommerce instance, reducing complexity and ensuring consistency across storefronts.

The how is just as powerful. MSF lets businesses:

  • Create multiple storefronts with unique domains or subdomains, all from a single BigCommerce backend.

  • Assign specific product catalogs to each storefront, ensuring customers see the most relevant inventory.

  • Customize themes, branding, and pricing per storefront to cater to distinct audiences.

  • Manage orders, inventory, and reporting in one place, reducing operational headaches.

With PDM’s latest integration updates, sellers can now take full advantage of MSF by submitting multiple Channel IDs. This means precise control over which storefronts display which products, making multi-store management seamless and efficient.

That’s why PDM Automotive is stepping in with a smarter way to manage your multi-store operation. Now, with support for multiple Channel IDs, you can decide exactly which products show up in which storefronts—without the hassle. Plus, you can fine-tune category trees for each store, making sure everything stays clean, organized, and optimized for your customers.

Tired of Wrestling with Product Listings Across Multiple Stores?

If you’re running more than one storefront, you know the struggle: keeping products in the right place, ensuring listings stay accurate, and avoiding duplicate work. PDM’s BigCommerce MSF integration makes it simple. Assign unique Channel IDs to products, control their visibility, and cut down on manual adjustments. It’s all about precision—getting the right products in front of the right customers, every time.

One Storefront’s Categories Won’t Fit Them All? No Problem.

A B2B store isn’t the same as a B2C store. A regional shop might need different product categories than a national one. That’s why PDM gives you control over category trees for each storefront. Tailor the structure to fit your audience and let your customers find what they need—fast.

Managing multiple stores doesn’t have to be a headache. With PDM’s integration, you can streamline operations, reduce errors, and focus on what really matters—growing your business and keeping your customers happy.
