In Adobe Commerce, the scope for product pricing is set at the 'Website' level. To achieve independent pricing for different sites while sharing the same underlying product catalog, each site must be configured as a separate Website. A functional storefront requires the complete hierarchy of Website, Store, and Store View. Therefore, the minimum structure is multiple websites, with each website containing its own store and at least one store view. This configuration allows an administrator to set a different price for the same product SKU on each distinct website.

A. Multiple stores and a single store view for each store: This is incorrect because multiple stores under a single website inherit the same pricing configuration from that parent website, failing the requirement for independent price control.

B. One website, one store, and multiple store views: This setup is used for offering a single store in multiple languages. All store views share the same pricing, currency, and customer data from the parent website.

"Attribute Scopes": This document explicitly lists the price attribute as having a scope of Website. It states

"A value entered at the website level overrides the value entered at the global level." This confirms that independent pricing requires separate websites.

"Websites

stores

& views": This guide details the hierarchy. It clarifies that a website is the top-level container and is the level at which you can manage different pricing and currencies. It states

"All stores within the same website share the same customer data... and the same prices and currency." This directly supports that different prices require different websites.

"Scopes": This document explains the architectural concept of scopes. It defines the Website scope as the level for managing "prices

payment and shipping methods." This reinforces that pricing is a website-level concern

making multiple websites necessary for the scenario.
