I'm using the eCommerce module (with Drupal 4.7.2) - which also has a very good support community - http://drupal.org/project/ecommerce - not sure about what you mean by ecomm subsite though.

Hi,

Thanks for the comment.

I need to create a portal that contains a few independent e-shops.
like this one
http://www.emallroad.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=52

can we install multiple instances of eCommerce module?
Or is there other tricks to do the multi-shop?

Thanks.

It certainly is possible to build an e-mall using Drupal. I am planning to do the same thing myself very soon--contact me using the contact form if you'd like to work together on it.

You don't need to install multiple instances of the eCommerce module. Instead, you'll just have to store profiles for each independent e-shop, so that payments are made to each shop individually. Also, you can create unique themes (look & feel, color scheme, etc.) for each shop.
