Traffic Capacity of WordPress E-Commerce

  • hi,
    i am building an eCommerce site that will cater to multiple products and multi-vendor marketplace. as a result i would like to know the scalability of WordPress eCommerce solution. Below are my queries.
    1. i am planning to inboard around 1000 unique vendors. is there any maximum limit(count) to the number of vendor accounts that can be created.
    2. the buyers approx 1 million buyers are expected. so now each of the buyers will create their login account. so is there any limit to the number of accounts that can be created.
    3. how many simultaneous user sessions can exist. For Example-If 100,000 buyers are buying products simultaneously or similarly multiple vendors are accessing their accounts. so i would like to know, is there any limit to the maximum number of simultaneously session that can exist at a given point of time.
    4. I am planning approx 50000 products. do you see any impacts if so many different products are enlisted.

    Thanks in advance..

  • As far as limits, that’s only constrained by the ID’s available in the database. As the ID columns are BIGINT’s, that means that the maximum for everything that you’re asking is 18,446,744,073,709,551,615. If you can get that many products/vendors/customers, then you’re doing well enough to look for a different solution!

    Server performance and how many users can be active at the sme time (it doesn’t matter if the users are customers, vendors or administrators, it’s all really the same), that comes down to how well your server is set up. You can start off with a standard VPS, them move to a beefed-up dedicated server when needed, then onto multiple servers with load balancers when needed. If you are going to get to that stage you’d need ot emply full-time network and server managers to ensure that everything works the way that it’s menat to, and to keep on monitoring the system.
