Question about Storefront API rate limiting

Question about Storefront API rate limiting

Hi,

We are building a custom storefront that uses the Shopify Buy SDK. We understand that Shopify rate limits the Storefront API requests based on buyer IP.

We are actually launching our storefront in an event and we expect high traffic during the launch. The question I have is that the customers will be on the same Wi-Fi which means that their external IP will all be the same.

Are we at the risk of being rate-limited?

Also, I saw that Shopify limits the number of Checkouts that can be created, https://shopify.dev/api/usage/rate-limits#checkout-level-throttle

Would we know more details of this? How many checkouts are allowed

Thank you
