Requirements

PHP 7.4+ | 8.0+
OctoberCMS 2.2+ | v3.0+
MySQL 5.7+ | v8.0+ or MariaDB v10.2+ or SQLite v3.19+

We highly recommend not using SQLite on production environments, especially for larger Shops.

There is also a legacy version of this plugin available, that works with OctoberCMS v1. However, this version is no longer updated nor supported.

Support

Installation

The easiest way to get you started is by using the command line:

composer require \
   rainlab/user-plugin \
   rainlab/location-plugin \
   rainlab/translate-plugin \
   offline/oc-mall-plugin

Once the plugin is installed take a look at the official documentation to get everything up and running.

Benchmarks

Below are some totally unscientific benchmarks created on a lazy Saturday afternoon. These tests were run on a DigitalOcean CPU optimized Droplet with 2 vCPU and 4GB RAM. October was run on Ubuntu 1 8.04, PHP 7.2.10, Apache 2.4.19 and MySQL 5.7.24.

All measurements were done using the Bedard.Debugbar plugin and are the average load time over 10 page loads (I told you they were unscientific!).

Index size defines the size of the offline_mall_index table. This table includes de-normalized information about all Products and Variants. An index size of 1000 means there are 1000 individual Variants and Products stored. The demo data used was built using the php artisan mall:seed-demo command run in an infinite loop.

Category page load is the page load time measured when a category page is loaded. All stored products will be filtered, sorted (by sales count) and counted by the currently viewed category_id. Nine of these products will be displayed and the pagination will be built based on the returned number of results.

Filtered page load is the page load time measured when two filters are being enabled (filter by the color Red and the material Carbon). In this case all products will be filtered by their category, their color and their material. The pagination will be built based on the returned number of results.

Index size	Category page load	Filtered page load
1'000	290 ms	281 ms
5'000	301 ms	295 ms
10'000	324 ms	318 ms
50'000	448 ms	433 ms
100'000	586 ms	570 ms
200'000	912 ms	865 ms
300'000	1300 ms	1240 ms

Please be aware that these benchmarks are only here to show you how this plugin behaves under different loads and the times will vary depending on the hardware, configuration and setup of your installation. If you really want to know how well the plugin performs install it yourself and give it a go!
