At first time restrict the access to these menus to a specific user group not display it to everybody. This way, the original website will looked as unchanged. If you really want to duplicate, it is still possible but will require more time. Regarding the products, it depend how they are formatted. If you can export them as csv so you will then just have to manage it to fit the HikaShop requirements.

Will I be able to use some module in the existing site to link to the shop site? Two local Joomlas together?

Any extensions currently available to have it done the easy way? Any tips? Thanks, Milo")* Hi, Once again, I really think that the best way is to install HikaShop on the main website. Then you can use the HikaShop modules in the current site pages to link to the shop pages. But by default if you don't display menus and modules the shop will stay hidden, so don't change the current website.

Thanks, Milo")* Hi, There are a lot of Joomla extensions, some to create multiple website using one single instance of Joomla. I guess that there are some bridges extensions but we didn't know bridges which claimed be compatible with HikaShop.
