I have a customers corporate intranet site with 10,000 doorknobs (in china) hehe

 

not kidding.....

 

 

 

 

Does anyone know what the largest osCommerce catalog is? Perhaps 5,000 or more products?

I've got that beat by 5x at least. I am asking because I suspect my client may have the largest osCommerce store as measured by revenue and catalog size.

 

Can anyone beat this:

 

* $50,000 US monthly gross revenue

* 50,000 products (roughly)

Yes...I have several high-volume clients.

 

REVENUE

One tops $5K daily (so that's about $150,000 monthly) and I personally verified those numbers while installing some custom admin reports, affiliate tracking, and other nice ROI tools.

 

INVENTORY

One client tops 10,000 categories and some 80,000 products. Now, from a coders standpoint this one was an absolute bear to get optimized for speed. After 4 or 5 weeks of work it loads faster than the stock osC store.

 

Those are my largest clients from both respects...

That's excellent info, Bobby.

 

I'm with you, it took a lot of optimization to get things working well.

 

What kind of ROI tools are you talking about? Contact me at [email protected], I might like to outsource some work to you.

Holy cow Bobby,

 

What is their marketing strategy? Can you give us some insight how they get/pay for traffic?

The high revenue client has been established since 1996 online and has an extensive affiliate network. 75% of his traffic comes from the thousands of affiliates and the rest come from natural SERP's. I advised him not to undertake an AdWord campaign since his affiliates were saturating the market for every keyword!

 

So, the only thing that really separates his operation from any other is his extensive affiliate network. However, the downside to that is 30% of each sales goes out the window...

After trying to imagine that many different doorknobs, I was wondering if you could tell me what payment gateways they use. I have a Chinese customer looking for a CC gateway and 2CO seem to be hopeless at the moment

How do you set this up to work well with osCommerce?
