Hmm, well if you are just using the existing products that won't really be a good stress test for the site with ALL the new products on there.
I think it would be a better test if you included at least 1 new product to adequately stress your servers. Hmm, what should that 1 product be? Now I don't really have a preference, maybe something that starts with a P and ends with a 21 if you know what I mean xD.

Haha, this isn't to stress the servers. They are more than capable of handling our meager traffic. Ceretropic doesn't really get that much traffic. Nootropics Depot has 10 times the site traffic that Ceretropic does. This is to test the new Ecommerce platform, our payment/shipping integrations, and make sure my team knows how to handle all the new processes for Prestashop. It's a complete 180 from how Bigcommerce does it. How things work is very different. Plus, we have a lot of custom integrations and site changes. So there are inevitably going to be some bugs. We've had a select few customers doing a beta test on the site the past week. So we have worked through most everything. However, there is inevitably going to be something new that we did not find. That's what the first 1-2 weeks is for.
Don't worry, we've built up a strategic P21 reserve in anticipation of this relaunch. We have a shitload of it.
