Guest Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi, I am learning Prestashop to know if it's the best option for my company's business website: A high traffic and large number of online users at a time: Sometimes will reach 4000 users online a a time. As we are a concert's tickets selling website. We sell "paper tickets" for about 100 Events at a time and each will normally have 1000- 2000 tickets to offer. But on a few hot concerts the numbers can be as big as 10.000 or more. What I want from the website is literally the functionality to sell physical “paper” tickets to people, where I list the product myself, my customers come to the website find ticket listed by categories, if they like it, they "book it"(create an order) , then they will be able to pay by "PayPal, Banking account, etc.." or directly pay when they receive the booked ticket. And we require the website to be stable-can run well everyday, we also require the back-end to be great too. I have tested it but I am not sure how well the Prestashop's Back-end be when we handle about 1000-1500 orders a day, and sometimes 10k+ as mentioned? Can anybody tell me if I should use Prestashop as the platform for our website? And if you have experienced in building,managing a website like ours please share your thoughts. Thanks.

Ronaldo Perez Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Can anybody tell me if I should use Prestashop as the platform for our website? - probably yes, performing a series of optimizations + using appropriate hardware / software. Although, IMHO, under such tasks are best to use solution developed specifically for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Favre Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi dkjoomla, Many big websites use PrestaShop and they have absolutely no problem to deal with the amount of orders you talk about. So as long as you use a server that can withstand the load, there is absolutely nothing to fear . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Perez Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Many big websites use PrestaShop and they have absolutely no problem to deal with the amount of orders you talk about. Oh, Hi Carl. I am very interested in this question. You could give an example store with high traffic / load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, I will analyze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi all, I am now using PS for our store, but I am in the need of a NEWS(list of news) page on top of the site. Is there a free solution for this, I have tried using the blockcms but that didn't meet my need. Pls advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 It's less of a case of whether PS is up to the task as the hardware you choose to run your server on. What you will need to do however, is have a cron job to clean up the connections tables in the database on a regular basis as this will get large quite quickly with a high number of users. You can archive it if the data is useful or delete it. After all, Facebook runs on mySQL too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hi Lem, yes- I have a plan to study to make improvements to the scalability os PS, maximize the MySQL etc.. but I am in the need of NEWS page more than the other. I didn't know that NEWS Page would be this big issue for me a few weeks ago. Any ideas will be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lem Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Why not use something like Wordpress for your news page. You'd need to be a bit clever to get the themes looking the same between the two, but it can be done and gives you the best of both worlds.

Guest Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hi Lem, That's a great idea for me right now. I'm familiar with both Joomla and WP- but lack of managing a site skills. But with your suggestion I think now I can handle the solution by installing a Joomla/wp site at something like "NEWS.Mysite.com". , but is it right that there is no way to have NEWS page in PS?
