Hello, I own a Shopify store that has been operational for almost 2 years. Everything is going well on that front, but I will soon experience a spike in traffic due to a televised advertising campaign. I wanted to know if there is a Shopify plan that offers more powerful servers capable of handling this increased traffic, or if it’s not necessary.
Thanks
Hey @greg028
Congrats on your businesses successful 2 years, and hopefully many more. An advertised promotional campaign is awesome to hear about. Do you have an idea of what kind of traffic you are expecting to reach during this promotional period? Generally, you don’t need to worry too much about flash sales/promotional events being too overwhelming or causing downtime. If you are expecting 10,000+ orders per hour or more then you can connect with our authenticated support team for additional support. We also have some best practices on running sales like this in our Help Center here: Shopify Help Center | Flash sales.
