+11 - Multi-store & Multi-website Scopes
+=======================================
+
+11.1 Describe Multi-store & Multi-website functionality
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+![Magento Exam Question](./images/icon-question.png)**Outline all the available Magento scopes, what are the scopes available in a standard Magento install?**
+
+> Magento 2 has a 4-level hierarchy: Global, Website, Store (Store Group) & Store View.
+
+![Magento Exam Question](./images/icon-question.png)**What is the difference between Magento 2 website, store, and store view?**
+
+![Magento Section Chevron](./images/icon-chevron.png)Global
+
+> This is the highest level in the Magento pyramid. Here you can set the only 3 options that will be the same for all stores:
+
+1.  Stock - configure the main product settings.
+2.  Price - define the same price for the products in all stores.
+3.  Buyers - Merge all store customer data into one big database for all websites.
+
+![Magento Section Chevron](./images/icon-chevron.png)Global
+
+> Global values are values that are out-of-the-box if the user has not specified. These values are usually defined within a modules `etc/config.xml`.
+>
+> By default, a vanilla Magento install features:
+
+1. System configurations (dependent on their scope in declarative schema `showInDefault`, `showInWebsite`, `showInStore`) available in *Admin > Stores > Configuration*.
+2. No Products
+3. No Customers
+4. 1 Root Category + 1 Default Category without any products
+5. 1 Tax Rule: "Taxable goods", 3 Tax Zones / Rates: US-CA. A Non-taxable goods class is also available.
+6. 1 Website, 1 Store (Store group), 1 Store View.
+
+![Magento Section Chevron](./images/icon-chevron.png)Website
+
+> With one Magento base, you can design various websites, for example, hats.com and pants.com. The following can be configured per Website:
+
+1.  Separate Payment methods.
+2.  Separate Shipping methods.
+3.  A totally separate Product base - products are required to be assigned to websites individually. They can have different prices / currencies / attribute values etc.
+4.  Separate tax classes.
+5.  Separate (base) currencies.
+6.  Separate Customer base - It's up to you whether your customers can log in to all shops with the same credentials.
+7.  System configurations (dependent on their scope in declarative schema `showInDefault`, `showInWebsite`, `showInStore`) available in *Admin > Stores > Configuration*. Mostly all configurations are configurable at this level.
+
+> For each website, you can create multiple stores, but all the information will be gathered in one admin panel.
+
+![Magento Section Chevron](./images/icon-chevron.png)Store (Store Group)
+
+> It's possible to create several stores on one Magento 2 website. The following can be configured per Store:
+
+1.  Different Root Categories which allows for different products to be assigned.
+
+> The following *CANNOT* be configured per Store:
+
+1.  All the stores within one website share the same customer accounts.
+2.  All stores share Shipping Methods.
+3.  All stores share Tax Rates / Zones.
+4.  All stores share Product stock.
+5.  All stores share Product prices.
+6.  All currencies are identical for all the stores.
+7.  System configurations available in *Admin > Stores > Configuration*.
+8.  EAV attributes across entities Customer (including Customer Address), Products, Categories cannot be configured on a Store Group level.
+
+
+![Magento Section Chevron](./images/icon-chevron.png)Store View
+
+> And finally, for every store, you can create several store views. The following can be configured per Store View:
+
+1.  Different languages.
+2.  Different currencies.
+3.  Different design themes
+4.  Certain Product EAV attributes can be different such as name, or tax class (dependent on their `is_global` / `scope` / `is_user_defined` properties).
+5.  Different Category EAV attributes (such as name, or URL key).
+6.  System configurations (dependent on their scope in declarative schema `showInDefault`, `showInWebsite`, `showInStore`) available in *Admin > Stores > Configuration*.
+
+> The following CANNOT be configured per Store View:
+
+1.  All store views within one website share the same customer accounts.
+2.  All store views share Shipping Methods.
+3.  All store views share Tax Rates / Zones.
+4.  All store views share Product stock.
+5.  All store views share Product prices.
+6.  All store views share the same Root Category.
+7.  All currencies are identical for all the store views.
