What is the maximum number of products PrestaShop can handle?

There is no single official product limit in PrestaShop, and the platform does not stop you at any fixed catalog size. In practice, capacity is decided by your data and your infrastructure rather than by the product count alone.

• Combinations and data volume: a catalog with many attributes, combinations and features multiplies rows far beyond the number of products, and that volume is what the database actually has to carry.
• Database and search work: layered navigation, sorting and the search index grow with the catalog; slow queries and reindexing are usually the first bottleneck.
• Imports and exports: large feeds need scheduled, batched imports; a full-catalog import is a heavier operation than day-to-day browsing.
• Hosting and resources: CPU, memory, disk speed and database configuration set the ceiling; a large catalog on undersized hosting will feel slow regardless of the software.
• Caching, theme and modules: effective caching hides most of the catalog-size effect, while a heavy theme or a poorly written module can undo it.

The honest answer for your store comes from measurement: load-test a staging copy with your real catalog and traffic pattern before committing. For concrete tuning steps, see our PrestaShop performance guide.
