 * Hi
 * I’m thinking of creating a virtual store and all administrative and customer 
   support parts.
 * I thought of creating a store in an “X” domain and creating the support part 
   in another “Y” domain, being two wordpress installations.
 * I want all store orders to be managed, accounted for by the “Y” domain, installing
   CRM plugins, Helpdesk, customer document manager, commissions, etc.
 * I have doubts about whether the wp database “X” can synchronize with the “Y”.
   The purpose of this is to prevent WP from being in a single domain and being 
   heavy with many plugins and product images.
 * NOTE: Virtual store doesn’t use anything from woocommerce, it uses a theme and
   only finishes the checkout with woocommerce.
 * Is this viable? It is worth it? I heard about hyperdb. What is your opinion?
 * Thanks

 * I would avoid the need to sync anything. Redundant data IMO is bad data management.
   I know things are sync’d all the time, I don’t have to like it 🙂 It’s better
   to keep data in one place or the other and request what’s needed when it’s needed.
   The REST API is useful for this.
 * If the only reason to do this is to distribute hardware resource usage, I don’t
   think different domains and sites are the solution. I’d rather keep it all in
   one domain and bring in enough hardware resource to manage the need. Let any 
   load spreading happen at a lower level below the single domain.
 * I’m sure there are contrary opinions out there, that’s fine, this one is mine.

 * Hi, [@bcworkz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcworkz/)
 * Thanks for the tip
 * My concern is that many people comment that WP is too slow when there are too
   many plugins.
 * The site is for Tourism, and we know that there are a lot of images even in webp,
   it starts to slow down.
 * The administrative part with CRM inside wp, I think it would overload the system.
 * I thought about using an external CRM and making an API, but I think it’s a difficult
   task and I don’t know about security. What’s your opinion?

 * It’s difficult to say which would be more performative, it depends on the individual
   installation. Yes, a lot of plugins can slow down a site, but so can needing 
   to fetch data from another resource. Sync’d data can solve that problem, but 
   carries with it its own set of potential problems in maintaining sync. At least
   the large amount of plugins can in part be mitigated by providing adequate hardware
   resource. It’s more difficult to mitigate the inherent issues introduced by the
   other approaches.
 * The existing API should work for any sort of WP data, but if you have custom 
   tables, developing an API to access such data isn’t trivial. If the need isn’t
   too complex, it’s not that hard for an experienced coder. It’s even conceivable
   a novice coder could develop a simple API. They’d struggle to do so, but it’s
   achievable. Proper security measures are much easier to implement since application
   passwords were introduced. You cannot ignore security obviously, but it’s not
   difficult to implement in an API.

 * Thank you very much for the information, I will study better, but your information
   was decisive
