Step 4: Change the website’s base URL

• In your Magento backend, go to Stores > Settings > Configuration. Under General section, click Web.

• From the Store View list at the top of the page, select a website.

• Expand Base URLs section.

• Enter this website’s URL. For example: https://subdomain.example.com/
• Click Save Config.
• Repeat these tasks for other websites.

Step 5: Add the store code to the base URL

Magento gives you the option to add the store code to the site’s base URL, which simplifies the process of setting up multiple stores. Using this option, you don’t have to create directories on the Magento file system to store index.php and .htaccess.

This prevents index.php and .htaccess from getting out of sync with the Magento codebase in future upgrades.

• In your Magento backend, go to Stores > Settings > Configuration. Under General section, click Web.
• From the Store View list at the top of the page, select Default Config.
• Expand Url Options section.

• Uncheck the Use system value box next to Add Store Code to Urls. Then set this to Yes.
• Click Save Config.
• If prompted, flush the Magento cache. (System > Cache Management).

Step 6: Change the default store view’s base URL

You must perform this step last because after it’s done, you’ll lose access to the Magento Admin; your access returns after you set up virtual hosts as discussed in the web-server-specific topics.

• In your Magento backend, go to Stores > Settings > Configuration. Under General section, click Web.
• From the Store View list at the top of the page, select Default Config. Expand Base URLs section.
• Enter your website’s base URL. For example: https://www.example.com/ Click Save Config.

Step 7: It’s done! You have successfully set up multiple websites and stores in Magento 2
