I’m investigating WooCommerce as a potential e-commerce solution, however my immediate concern (which I haven’t been able to find information on) is the number of products.

The proposed store needs the ability to house ~30,000 different products.

  • Is there any technical limitation on the number of products that WooCommerce can handle?
  • Would the limit simply be the same as the number of posts I could safely/practically handle in WordPress?
  • Are there other issues that would make managing something like this just a bad idea? (experiences with WooCommerce)

I hate to mention this on WordPress.Stackexchange, but I would go with using Magento in place of WordPress. I love WordPress and use it on almost every website that I build, but it was not specifically made for e-commerce. Magento handles just about everything better in regards to e-commerce.

I only tend to use WordPress for e-commerce when the products and store are fairly simple. Magento will take more work to build the site initially, but I believe it would give you the best results with the number of products that you have.
