How many thousands of products can wordpress pull?

Question

WordPress

Hello. The client wants to make an online store on wp, but he will have 30,000 products there. which will have to be loaded from another server with a Post request. Has anyone faced a similar issue? Will this engine pull that much? I just kinda doubt it.

Answer 1

30.000 is nothing for wp. But the irony is that it is possible, having only 1 product, to make it not usable. So everything is in your hands. Literally.
But you have a contradiction in the question: if these 30,000 products are loaded from a third-party server, then what side is WordPress here at all? And what does it mean to load? Every time? If you imagine json for 30k objects, it will become quite obvious that this is a very large amount to transfer over the network, this will be the bottleneck in this situation, and not WordPress.

Answer 2

Hello!
If I understand you correctly, then you want to work with the API of a third-party service and integrate it into WP + WC.
Yes it is possible. Our web studio has written functionality for working with the Zoomos API. The functionality is powered by NodeJS and pulls all the required products into the WP database using the Wooocommerce REST API. + it's all updated regularly.

And here is the site that uses this technology and by the way there are about 15K products at the moment
