Product Store ID 

Type PS_RS_CA_MAIN

Note:  Could be a bug, but it does not matter what you put here it will assign a numeric value.

Note:  Thoughts about Product Stores.  You can have many stores.  Think about a holding company like Rocky Brands.  They own many brands of boots.  Each of those brands would need there own product store, website, etc...  Some of those brands would need a US Product Store and a European Product Store.  Each store can have separate inventory options, payment options, shipping options, and currency to name a few.

Type Store Name

Note: Store Name displays on the web browser tab.  Title displays to the left of the Shopping Cart Empty in Bold and a larger font.  Sub-Title displays right below the Title in a smaller font.

Note: I changed the Store Name to Ruffian Specialties due to it displaying on the web browser tab.
