first of all, thanks for the contribution, hobzilla!
i went through all the configuration steps (i think) and i've got the store up and running, i can assign products to the various stores, change store details, etc. but products show up in my second store with a price of $0 where in the main store the price is reflected accurately.
i'm guessing i missed something, what could it be? many thanks in advance!
regards.
