Discussion: Linking Multiple Shopify Stores Locally

Issue Summary:
We are currently facing an issue with our local development setup for a Shopify Hydrogen project. Our goal is to link multiple Shopify stores locally and run them using specific npm commands. However, every time we link a new Shopify store, it overrides the existing Shopify settings and environment variables. We would like to be able to run different stores (e.g., CA, US, UK and AU) with commands like npm run dev:ca and have it load the respective store without affecting the other configurations.

Questions:

1. Is there a recommended way to manage multiple Shopify store in a single Hydrogen repo project?
2. How can we configure our local environment to support multiple stores seamlessly?
3. Are there best practices or examples available for this type of setup?

Desired Outcome:
We want to be able to run commands such as npm run dev:ca to load the CA store and have similar commands for other stores (e.g., npm run dev:us for the US store). Deployment wise it works well and we connected each store to the main repo and it generated different oxygen yml files.

Environment Details:

• Shopify Hydrogen V2
• Remix JS
• Vite
• Multiple Shopify stores with one hydrogen sales channel created in it.

Any guidance, best practices, or examples from the community would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

This is a great feature enhancement idea. For the moment, I think you'll just have to manually manage a local .env file.

Thanks for considering this feature! We're currently juggling multiple storefronts with a manual .env file, and it's a pain, especially with external partners working along with us. Could we get this feature expedited? It would really streamline our process and make life easier for everyone involved. Appreciate your help!
