I have a Prestashop 1.6 module. It works for one store, however I have the need to make it work on other stores I created with the multistore functionality.
By "make it work" I mean that I would like to be able to separate configurations for each different store, so that each store has its own plugin configuration without sharing a single configuration with every store on the website. Currently the plugin has just a single configuration, if I change it inside one of the stores, the change affects all other stores.
This is the code:

What I tried:
I tried adding the shop ID as described in the documentation, by changing every occurrence of
Configuration::get('KEY');
to
Configuration::get('KEY', null, null, (int)$this->context->shop->id);
and
Configuration::updateValue('KEY', 'VALUE');
to
Configuration::updateValue('KEY', 'VALUE', false, null, (int)$this->context->shop->id)
It didn't work, values were still shared between stores
Since the first option didn't work, I thought about giving fields different names by naming them KEY_1 for shop 1, KEY_2 for shop 2, etc. I thought this would have solved the issue, so I changed every occurrence of
Configuration::get('KEY');
to
Configuration::get('KEY_' . (int)$this->context->shop->id);
and
Configuration::updateValue('KEY_' . (int)$this->context->shop->id, 'VALUE');
to
Configuration::updateValue('KEY', 'VALUE', false, null, (int)$this->context->shop->id)
The result was the same.
I dumped $this->context->shop and found out that the id attribute is always 1, regardless of the store I'm in. The shop ID seems to be always the same even if I change store, so that property is not safe at all.
What should I do? Am I missing something? How can I create different configurations for each store instead of having just one shared between all stores?
By using Configuration::get('KEY'); and Configuration::updateValue('KEY', 'VALUE'); it will get and update the key based on your current context. This means that to change the values for another store, in admin you just select that store in the available select box (usually at the top near the notifications).
The employee context shop is not based on the url you access the admin. It will default to the main one, if you haven't previously selected another one.
On the other hand, you could write your module to have all the options, instead of changing the context shop, by using the Configuration::updateValue('KEY', 'VALUE', false, null, (int)$id_shop) and Configuration::get($key, null, null, $id_shop) in a foreach with all shops.
The context shop in the front office (front end), on the other hand, is set depending on the url you access it.
