Site settings can be configured on a site-by-site basis. If your Commerce Cloud instance is running multiple sites, the values a merchandiser specifies in a settings panel apply only to the currently selected site. The merchandiser can then select another site and supply different values for that site.

In some cases, a site settings panel may have settings that make sense for certain sites but not for others. In this situation, you can give merchandisers the option of disabling a site settings panel completely for individual sites. To do this, include the following in the config.json file of the extension that creates the panel:

"enableSiteSpecific": true

This setting must appear in top-level array in the file (that is, not within the properties array).

Setting enableSiteSpecific to true adds a checkbox to the panel for specifying whether the settings in the panel are enabled for the current site. The checkbox is initially selected for each site, but a merchandiser can deselect it for individual sites. Deselecting the checkbox disables the panel for a site and causes the fields in the settings panel to disappear for that site. The fields reappear if the merchandiser subsequently selects the checkbox again.
