Categories: A product can only appear in a given category of a shop if it has been associated to with this category in that shop's context. In other words: if shop A and shop B have the C category in common, we you can associate the P product to the C category for the A shop's context, and P will not appear in category C on shop B. Carriers: You can manage the carriers association on a per-shop basis, a per-shop-group basis or for all shops; but you cannot customize a carrier on a per-shop basis. You must duplicate the carrier if you want to use the same carrier with different price ranges on two shops.
