My site is installed on my main domain, lets say something.com for an example. I have WooCommerce installed and i would like to run the shop part of the site on store.something.com with the same WordPress install. Also, the blog would run on blog.something.com.
I think Multisite is not what i’m after based on the “Before You Create A Network” article in the Codex.
Is it possible to do this without installing multiple WordPress on the subdomains?

WP multisite (subdomain) is the answer – http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
In addition you can install the WP Domain Mapping Plugin to run on other domains
You need to decide whether you want WP multisite subdomain or sub-directory installation. WP subdomain does exactly what you want, but WP subdir + domain mapping plugin allows you to have both (subdomain AND sub-directory). WP subdomain looks like this:
domain.com (main site)
site1.domain.com
site2.domain.com
WP subdirectory looks like this:
domain.com (main site)
domain.com/site1
domain.com/site2
With WP Domain Mapping plugin you can map any subsite above to another domain, for example:
site1.domain.com -> www.site1.com
site2.domain.com -> www.site2.com
[or]
domain.com/site1 -> www.site1.com
domain.com/site2 -> www.site2.com
