Sites in Monetization

Multiple sites can be created in Monetization to separate your business into different markets. For instance, you can have a site for the US market and another for the European market. Then, these two sites can have their specific customers, invoices, and analytics.

Furthermore, having a separate site can allow for different product catalogs for each site based on the market.
