# ADR 001 – No Custom Tables in v1

**Status**: Accepted

## Context

Wishlist/compare/Q&A/banners could use custom tables for performance. Customs add migration/upgrade burden and risk for a commercial theme sold on RTL-Theme where host environments vary.

## Decision

Store all v1 data in WP primitives: CPT (`xshop_banner`, `xshop_qa`), `wp_usermeta` + cookies for wishlist/compare, single option `xshop_settings`. No custom tables.

## Consequences

- Simpler install/uninstall, no `dbDelta` fragility.
- Query performance acceptable at ≤100k products; revisit if profiling shows bottleneck.
- Future ADR can introduce tables with migration path.
