To create websites and stores:

• Log in to the Magento Admin as a user authorized to create websites, stores, and store views.
• Click Stores> All Stores.
• To create a website, click Create Website.
• To create a store, click Create Store.
• To create a store view, click Create Store View.
• When you create your website or store view, make note of its unique identifier because you’ll use it later.
