ShopSite Forums

I decided on ShopSite Pro due to the unlimited number of
products it's advertised to handle. However there does appear to be a
limitation to the number of products my CSP's servers can process.

I hit a wall at about 12,000 products with Verio. The products load,
but the server times out when updating links between pages. I can
restart the upload and it might get a little further or it might stop
sooner. No other CSP I've contacted can handle more that 25,000
products without going to multiple stores. Has anyone had a similar
problem and a solution?

I like ShopSite and am using StoneEdge software to produce the site with

good results, but unless there is a way to handle more products without
buying my own server I may have to switch to another shopping cart.

Thanks for the reply, but the version I'm running does all of that now. It
tracks the upload and lets me resume where I left off. I've talked with
several CSP's about using version 5.0, but they tell me I will have the same
problem when I hit about 25,000 products.

Thanks,
Mike

the metropartsmarket.com store seems to be running ShopSite SC Pro 4.1
for IRIX, which is a very old version. In ShopSite 5 there is better
checkpointing during product upload to keep track of upload progress. It
can also detect if the upload completed fully the last time and if not
the next time you try running the upload you will be asked if you would
like to resume the previous incomplete upload. This helps quite a bit
with stores with a lot of products and server timeout issues.
