Hi we are evaluating Hikashop for powering a music site that has a very large product catalogue.
I know it says unlimited in the specs but is there an upper limit?
does a large product catalogue cause any degradation?

Hi,

HikaShop has been tested so far with 40000 products successfully. We optimized it as much as we could, then, it depends on your server.
Of course, if you have several million products on a shared hosting plan, I can guarantee you that it won't work properly: too much data for not enough processing power.
Also, some options are more resource hungry than others so, if you really have a lot of products, some tweaks might be necessary.

The only way to know is to test it with your server to see if it can handle everything properly.If not, let us know and we'll see if we can find a solution.

so 150 to 200k products would just take more server resources? but not present a programmatic issue

I hope so but I cannot guarantee that :)

some modifications might be required in some places (if we didn't do our work properly). In that case, let us know what is not working and we'll help you solve them.
