Public Store Product View Limit of 1,024 Products

I discovered from 6 of my stores: Zazzle only displays up to 1,024 products on the Product page for public view from my laptop. These 6 have over 1,024 products made in my Store Management. Example: My Sandy M Designs store has over 14K products, yet only 1,024 products show on the Product page for public viewing.

Another issue is Store Management stops at Page 49 of 70 (204 on each page), a total of 9,847. Over 5K are products invisible to me! Where are the rest of my products?

Is this something that has been going on for years and I had just discovered it?

I am curious if this is the same for all who have a store with over 1,024 products and for Zazzle to answer this question. 

My six stores that this applies to

Yeah - so far as I know, it's always been like this. Zazzle places limits on just how many pages it will show. I think they do it because there are limits to most consumer's attention spans and they don't think people will browse further than that.  So far as I know, it doesn't stop your public products from potentially showing up in a market place search or a search within your store and it doesn't prevent your products from showing in their categories and collections (up to those 1,024 results at least). 

As far as the back end goes... I don't have any stores with that many products, so I can't speak to that. 

It does not prevent categories and collections from showing up. However, I went through all Refine By: Department and Category. For most stores, it shows more than 1024 products in that part, but only a percentage of what I have.

Thanks for letting me know that this has been going on for some time. I just never noticed before.

When I started here in 2014, the pages would go on and on, but at some point, they cut down on the number of pages shown. It was good for those who'd been selling a lot, but it was more difficult for newcomers to get traction. However, PenguinPower is correct about being found via search, which I bet is how most customers shop here. This means, of course, really good, thoughtful tagging is vital. It's how customers find us, and mostly likely how affiliates find us. You're not doomed. 😀

(Wish we had more time to edit our posts. "Mostly likely" is rather awkward.)

I am not a newcomer. But it does explain why the same products are the ones that get sold.

It is also telling me that I need to make changes.

This still does not explain why nearly 5K of my products are not showing up in my backend. Hopefully, support can help me with that.

I'm a low-volume creator with only 3382 products in my single store, but I just checked and they're all showing in 141 pages, so if it's any kind of example, it means you're definitely not showing all your products. I hope support can help you with this.

Hope so. Thanks.

Did you ever get an answer on this? I'm trying to purge some products with 0 views/sales and I can't get to the end of my products, sorted by views.  It only allows me to see the first 30 or so pages.
