A large multilingual store on WooCommerce in the WordPress Multisite network with 1C synchronization - how to organize everything?

Question

1C

We create a large multilingual online store on WordPress + WooCommerce : more than 500 categories , more than 7,000 products , so far 2 languages: Russian and English .

We tried to build everything on WordPress + WooCommerce + WPML , as a result, this nuclear batch just hellishly slowed down even on a powerful server.

Rebuilt now on a network of WordPress sites in the mode: Multisite - so far the flight is normal, but:
- ahead is the task of synchronizing with 1C Trade and warehouse - most likely we will use CommerceML to exchange via the Internet and write our own communication script with 1Skay ...
- how to merge all orders together from different network sites, so that later they can be given to 1Ske?
- how to synchronize the catalog (products, categories, meta field values, etc.) - what plugins do you use?
- how to merge all orders in the admin panel and have a single interface? - again, probably plugins?

Does anyone have similar projects, tasks - what solutions (plugins) do you use? How is everything organized?

Answer 1

So far, we have settled on the WordPress + WooCommerce + Polylang Pro + Polylang for WooCommerce configuration. We have multiplied
7 thousand products in 2 more languages, in total: 21 thousand products in the database, each product has attributes in meta fields.
On a powerful server, pages are generated in 0.2-0.5 seconds - more than excellent results for us!

Answer 2

For such tasks, it is better to use something more suitable. Something like magento or the same opencart, something that is specially created for the eCommerce platform.
WordPress is good and flexible. But it has architectural features that cannot be fixed by any plugin. And here you need a good server.

Not sure if you'll find a ready-made plugin. But WP has a not bad API. You may well have a separate server and site for order management. Only in Russian. And there to unload all orders and process them there. Or move all eCommerce logic into a separate module/site/server that will share it with all other sites.
Or make the interface a separate application from the VI. There are actually many options. But I can't tell you which one is right for you. But I'm pretty sure that if your current stack is relatively fast for the user, you'll spend a lot more time maintaining it.
