So if we are say looking at volumes of 5-10 per week we may have wasted our money?

We need the net profit per sale to be 100% sure. But I can't see a payback time of 1 billion years (if you ignore running costs) being much of a problem.

Is that a serious question? Websphere is an industrial strength product.

I chucked together some PHP (single product purchase) to handle 5-10 per day

Any tin-pot shopping cart on Apache will handle small volumes.

It is - however I believe the plans are to ramp up sales and also sell a number of other products which could in time get to 10000+ orders per day (hopefully)

So not as crazy as it sounds to be honest....

mmm yes it would not be the first time wildly optimistic sales figures have been used in a business case as justification to go ahead with a project.
