The great and powerful Magento e-commerce CMS is now out of beta. I followed this project with an eye cat and already test and proposed it to a customer in my previous company (FullSix).
You should try it just to get an idea of the powerfullness of this e-commerce plateform.
Key features :
- One-Click Upgrades (geek styled
) - Control multiple websites and stores from one Administration Panel with ability to share as much or as little information as needed
- Flexible Coupons (pricing rules) with ability to restrict to stores, customer groups, time period, products, and categories. (this feature will pull down some company ???)
- Multi-Lingual (a basic feature for all CMS)
- Support for Multiple Currencies
- One-Page Checkout
- Checkout without account/Guest Checkout
- Shipping to multiple addresses in one order
- View, edit, create and fulfill orders from admin panel.
- Feature-rich Customer Accounts
- Re-orders from account
- Batch Import and Export of catalog
- Advanced Pricing Rules and support for Special Prices (awesome !)
- Layered / Faceted Navigation for filtering of products
- Product comparisons (one of my favorite)
- Product Reviews
- Multiple Images with Zoom
- Admin Dashboard for Report Overview
One missing thing, is the possibility to connect your products to a centralize product database from a 3rd part application. For example : a comptability plateform.
