OK, admittedly this is a bit of cut and paste from the OpenCart forums but I'm hoping someone here might know how to accomplish this...

I want to make a primary OpenCart install on:

http://www.mainstore.com.

Then I would like to set up individual product landing pages/microsites running WordPress on:

http://www.product1.com
product2.com - product 2 Resources and Information. This website is for sale!
product3
etc.

Then I want to make OpenCart a multi site installation where each store front resides at:

http://www.product1.com/shop
product2.com - product 2 Resources and Information. This website is for sale!
http://www.product3.com/shop
etc.

I really just need a single page cart/checkout for a single product for each site, but want the centralized product and customer management that the backend of OpenCart offers.

This should be doable somehow... maybe some Apache redirect or domain record adjustment and setting the stores instances in OpenCart to http://www.product1.com/shop/?

If I can't find a solution I guess I'll create product1.mainstore.com shops and redirect the buy link there but it would be better for the customer experience not to redirect them to another site to make their purchases.

Any ideas?
