Tons of products

[Danijelp]

Greetings,

 

how will prestashop work with huge number of products. I will try to move my oscommerce to prestashop where I have app. 25000 products (auto parts based). Recently I work with prestashop with some of 1400 products and it's slow importing with CSV importer. On live server it wasn't be possible to import it because of server limitations.

 

So I'm affraid how will PS work with?!

 

if anyone has any experience please share..

 

thnx

Try the Product Manager - GREAT for adding tons of stuff real fast.  It is a stand alone .exe for around 200.00 with 6 mo free updates

Thnx, I know for that but it's to expensive for me...

 

Also I wonder if PS can "chew" so much quantity of products?

Whether the front-office will work normally or slow?!
 

I know that there is a possibility to import products through a SQL query directly...

prestashop itself can handle 2 147 483 647 products (it's a matter of database datatype for id_product field)

but you have to know that it will be necessary to have got good hosting account (even own dedicated server) to handle large number of products.

It's worth to mention that shops that have many products, high traffic arent stored on shared host, usually they have own server

it's normal in e-commerce business

I Would also look into a CDN to keep traffic and data spread out .

 

Vekia:  Good info to know on those numbers - thank you
