What are scopes?

● Magento supports highly flexible ‘multi-store’ functionality
● This allows variations to language, design, currency,
product catalogue, config etc. from one ‘Magento instance’
● You can even have multiple completely discrete websites
running from a single ‘Magento instance’
*One Magento instance = one install / codebase

What are the different scopes in Magento 2?

● Global (default): System-wide settings and resources that are available throughout the Magento installation.
● Website: Settings and resources that are limited to the current website. Each website has a default store.
● Store (Group): Settings and resources that are limited to the current store. Each store has a default root category (main menu) and default store view.

Scope types are hierarchical and fallback to / inherit from the parent scope

Scope fallback -> Store view -> Store (group) -> Website -> Global (default)
