HOW DO YOU CHOOSE BEST MAGENTO ECOMMERCE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES?

So you want a new site, and your boss has asked you to find the best Magento eCommerce development services that fit in your budget. What’s your next step? As a Magento development company, we’re asked this question a lot. Here are our suggestions.

DESIGN CHOPS

First impressions matter, so check out the website of the developer you’re considering. How does it look? Does it work when you click around it? And check out the sites they’ve developed for clients, which they’ll list (if they haven’t listed any, then walk away!).

SCOPE OF SERVICES

The truth is, you’ll need more than an awesome looking site. You’ll need a partner with deep expertise in your industry, eCommerce, the Magento platform, as well as the opportunities and challenges you face as a business.

Make sure the agency under consideration offers the breadth of services you’ll need. Most new builds and replatforming projects will need consulting (to document your requirements), creative design, development, integration with inventory, CRM, and other systems, as well as managed systems.

If an agency lacks any of these skill sets, you’ll need to spend time managing multiple vendors, timeframes, and budgets. Better to have it all under the same roof.

CHECK THEIR CREDS

Adopt a trust-but-verify approach when selecting a Magento Implementation Services partner. Magento offers several tiers of certificates designed to validate a developer’s real-world skills, so check to see if certified developers will be assigned to your project.

So far, this is all background research you can do before engaging with the Magento development company. Once they’ve passed muster on these fronts, it’s time to call them.

PROJECT METHODOLOGY AND PLANNING

Ask any potential partner: How do you align your development approach to our short and long-term business goals? Does it encompass our creative, channel, customer, eCommerce, and content needs? And most important of all: how will you measure your success? Are your metrics aligned with ours?

Your site will be an important investment for your company; you’ll need to get a sense of how they’ll work with you to accomplish your business objectives.

All you need to do is contact Ziffity and our expert development team can get your company up and help you achieve your business goals.

HOW WILL MAGENTO 2.4 RELEASE BENEFIT MERCHANTS, PARTNERS AND CUSTOMERS?

Magento 2.4 is out now. From the release notes, we’ve extracted some of the most important highlights like platform upgrades, security enhancements, and performance tweaks that the Magento partner community and merchants were awaiting.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at what Magento 2.4 (Open Source, Commerce, and Commerce Cloud) has got under its hood.

MAGENTO 2.4.X RELEASE ROADMAP

While the release date of Magento 2.4 is confirmed, Magento has also spilled beans on the release of 2.4.x versions. 2.4.1 is slated for release on October 15th 2020, while 2.4.2 will be out on February 9th, 20201. These updates will be crucial as these would carry the fixes and enhancements for the shortcomings of 2.4, if any.

SECURITY ENHANCEMENTS

One of the most important security enhancements is considered to be 2FA (Two-factor authentication) for the Magento admin panel. The update supports authenticators like Google Authenticator, Duo, Authy, and U2F keys.

Other significant improvements include

30+ fixes to overcome the most threatening vulnerabilities — RCE (Remote Code Execution) and XSS (Cross-site Scripting) vulnerabilities. Both these vulnerabilities are gateways for attackers to inject malicious content and obtain crucial store information.

2FA for Magento Admin Panel is now a default aspect and cannot be disabled.

The Template filter mode is now enabled by default to overcome RCE.

Default Data rendering for UI providers is now disabled to prevent spam users from executing arbitrary JavaScript.

Content Security Policy improvements.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

Magento has been continuously innovating in terms of performance. With the release of version 2.4, the platform has addressed this space enough.

Speed of Quick Order add-to-cart features is improved (up to 30% improved).

Redis has been optimized further for better performance (less CPU consumption).

SQL queries cashing results improved.

Merchants can implement lazy loading for images (by configuring theme).

PLATFORM UPGRADESSupport for

PHP 7.4, PHPUnit 9.x

Elasticsearch 7.x

MySQL 8.0

Others

Zend Framework has been migrated to Laminas project

Elasticsearch replaces MySQL catalog search engine

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS

Improved PayPal JavaScript SDK — Now contains PayPal Express Checkout integration

Elasticsearch now includes a partial word search

Web Setup Wizard removed

Composer plugin updated

B2B ENHANCEMENTS

Magento is upgrading its B2B capabilities with every update, but 2.4 would be a significant turnaround.

Order Approval Workflow

‘Order Approval Workflow’ is the highlight feature that’ll benefit B2B merchants a great deal.

Aimed at Purchase Managers in B2B organizations, this feature allows officials to configure approval rules for buyers. Here is the list of advantages of ‘Order Approval Workflow’:

Create Unique approval conditions (per company account)

Set rules based on order value, number of items, shipment costs

Access permissions in order approval workflow are configurable

Email notifications to notify concerned officials at various stages of the approval process

Purchase orders now have a complete log of actions performed

Quick view of Purchase Orders

Login Storefront as a Customer

Another important update is the ability to view your store as a customer. Store administrators now have access to login as a customer or, in other words, can log in on behalf of a customer.

Magento offers administrators the ability to control the access to login into the storefront as a customer by defining access control per website. The 2.4 update also packs an interesting security feature that removes all the sessions once an administrator logs out.

However, the order placed by the admin on behalf of a customer will be reflected in the storefront and backend.

MAGENTO 2.4 — BENEFITS FOR MERCHANTS

Inventory management — In-store pickup and improved product bundling feature Adobe Stock — Find photos in Adobe Stock gallery, and filter them 30X faster Support for PWA Studio 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 ‘PickupLocations’ query now supports ‘In-store pickup.’ Users can add all the items from a previous cart to a new one Web Payments — Users can pay faster using existing data stored in their browser

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF MAGENTO 2.4

Magento 2.4 also includes extensions developed by vendors like DotDigital, Amazon Pay, BrainTree Payments, Klarna, and Vertex. The version is claimed to resolve several code issues and fixes for over 200 GitHub issues.

In the Magento Commerce 2.4 version, Page Builder now supports PHP 7.4. Also, the upcoming release has made enhancements in areas that improve customer experiences like cart and checkout, orders, fulfillment, and sales.

Magento 2.4 will be a significant upgrade and overhaul that would impact partners and merchants alike. Stay tuned for more updates.
