What is the difference between Multi-Storefront and multiple accounts?

It might seem like multi-store and multi-storefront are the same thing, but they are very different from an architectural standpoint. This is a BigCommerce architectural design of how stores operate and not controlled by third party apps. 


Merchants may choose multi-store architecture in order to have separate "stores", catalogs, and functionality, by brand, segment or region.




Merchants may choose to have a multi-storefront architecture in order to have one store, catalog, etc. and leverage channel based storefronts for different brands, languages, currencies etc.
