Hi,
First time user of Magento and have decided to build a store on the M2 platform.
We are building 2 stores with 2 domains (.com and .ca) and before we start configuring the stores I am wondering if it is best practice to create both stores at once and add the extensions and data (inventory/customers/taxes...).
Or do we just create one store initially and then copy everything over.
We coming from a hosted platform that didn't have this ability so any answered would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Assuming that you will have a single Magento 2 install with 2 stores:
- Make sure that you understand the difference between website and store in Magento, website has a greater autonomy, most probably you need separate websites for US and Canada
- Magento has common inventory, but you can select root category for each store if you have different products for different stores
- You don't need to copy extensions across the websites/stores, you may just need to tweak the settings (select correct scope)
- Some extensions may have domain-specific licences, check with vendors terms to use them in your case (in some cases it may be extended multi-domain licence, in some case you may need to buy 2 licences)

Re: Multi-Store Set up
Hi!
I am witing you because I need to setup the following structure at Magento 1.9.3.3.
domain.com > default language (ES) and web navigation skipping /es/
domain.com/en/
domain.com/fr/
domain.com/it/
I want to navigate directly through domain when default language, avoid the /es/ directory.
How should I setup Magento store views?
