i am looking for suggestions for an ecommerce platform that will be able to handle a single web store with over a million products listed & still perform reasonably well (ie fast page loads, easy bulk imports etc etc). while i prefer something in php/mysql and open source -- i am open to any and all suggestions. Im really looking for some ideas from store owners / managers that are running (or have run in the past) a web store with over 1 million items. thanks in advance
Any php/mysql solution will fail it it is not caches files as static html to handle it with nginx/lighthttpd directly.
I also need some information on it.................it you get then please tell me also................
If you have a million items, you sites will be comparable to amazon. Probably you should get a inhouse development team for the shopping cart
You can find all the solutions for your problem with AJ Shopping cart software which is best for ecommerce solution.
oscommerce, joomla all those would be able to handle this. you gonna need a dedicated server to handle that kind of data processing.
