What is meant by "scalability of complexity" — simple for small shops, efficient for enterprises?

Most software scales by *volume* (more orders, more traffic). Okommerce also scales by *complexity*: the amount of operational machinery visible to the user grows only as the business needs it. A new deployment can activate just the Physical product type, single-vendor mode, and a couple of modules — and the admin, dashboards, and menus show only those, so the system feels small and obvious.…

Most software scales by *volume* (more orders, more traffic). Okommerce also scales by *complexity*: the amount of operational machinery visible to the user grows only as the business needs it. A new deployment can activate just the Physical product type, single-vendor mode, and a couple of modules — and the admin, dashboards, and menus show only those, so the system feels small and obvious. The same codebase, with more toggles flipped, becomes a multi-vendor, multi-country operation with split fulfilment, vendor settlement, multi-level approval chains, geo-fenced delivery, loyalty tiers, and per-country dashboards. Nothing is hard-coded to a "size"; statuses, modules, product types, vendors, and workflows are all driven from settings. The promise is that you never hit a ceiling that forces a re-platform, and you never pay the complexity tax of features you haven't switched on.
