    Hello WP Support.

    I’m building a woocommerce store and i’m having problems structuring the whole thing and this is why:

    Product Category
    – Products
    – – Product Tags
    – – Product Attributes
    – – Best Sellers
    – – Featured
    – – etc..

    When my clients browse to a category like “pants” i need everything to be bound to that category, best selling pants, every pant with blue color when picking an attribute, etc..

    WordPress doesn’t work like that, if i browse a product tag like, RED, it will show me every single product from all the categories that contain the tag RED.

    Yes i know this could be achieved with some WP query trickery but my question is, should i use multisite for this purpose or not?

    Website 1 pants
    Website 2 jackets
    Website 3 shoes

    This “WP query trickery” is the proper way to accomplish what you are trying to do. In my opinion, a multisite installation is not only going to make things more confusing but also probably work against your business in the long run.

    You can certainly set up your site to display all products that are labeled Pants when someone searches for pants. Using multisite would confer no advantage here.

    I think you might benefit from learning about how taxonomies work in WordPress, because what you are talking about is a hierarchical naming system (i.e. a top-level group of Pants that shows all pants, with a group under that of Color, and that Color group broken up into Red, Blue, etc. Then, under Pants, another group called Best-Sellers. Just an example.) https://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies
