Alongside the generally used version of Magento Community, there is also a paid version of the platform - Magento Enterprise, offering many valuable and extensive functionalities, significantly supporting sales in the online store. The annual license of the paid version of Magento starts from 14 420 $. Next, to various additional marketing and sales tools, we also have help and technical support from the Magento team, greater security and scalability of the store, a mobile version written in HTML 5 and many other functionalities.

Global4Net is a company specializing in the implementation of advanced e-commerce solutions and has recently launched a new version of the online store for Meble88. Meble88 is a brand of furniture stores located in the Lower Silesia Voivodship. Thanks to the use of modern information management systems and observations of global trends, the company is gradually expanding its sales showroom network. The implementation of the Magento platform was chosen in order to implement the project.

One of our recent implementations concerned the creation of a store for a new brand on the Polish e-commerce fashion market - Basic Spot. This extraordinary experience has enabled us to acquire another large dose of knowledge in the light of the development of the Magento platform. As a result of our work, at least in my opinion, we created quite an interesting and unusual online store design, it should be noted that the goal was to not copy for the hundredth time in the fashion industry black and white answear.com store but to create something unique in its own way. I hope you will like it too, because our team has put a lot of work into this project, and I left a piece of heart in it.

Of course there are a few key elements to focus on, such as OS software - it is highly recommended to use Linux, but it is not recommended to use Windows servers for Magento, the system will work, however, will be less efficient, it may cause problems with file permissions or some parts of the code. It is important to limit the number of services to the minimum necessary on the production server, to simultaneously reduce the number of processes. Using XFS and ReiserFS, configuring MaxClients settings - for better control the number of subprocesses.

In August, we completed the next implementation of the Magento online store, this time intended for the Brittish market. Manufactured Culture is a shop with interior decoration products designed by top designers. Global4net has implemented a comprehensive functional design, graphic design, and store implementation. The effects of our hard work can be viewed at www.manufacturedculture.com

In the event that the default order statuses are not sufficient for our store in Magento, we can configure our own order status. To do this, go to the System -> Order statuses tab.

On 23 June at the Mercure hotel in Warsaw, the meeting of MeetUp Magento took place for the first time in Poland on the initiative of Snowdog. MeetUp Magento is a series of meetings of local communities to help establish the direction of development of the platform. Among the invitees were a dozen Polish agencies that were particularly important and related to Magento implementations in Poland and around the world. The meeting was attended by, among others, Creativestyle from Krakow, Snowdog from Poznań, Global4Net from Wrocław, Bold Agency from Krakow or Emagenio from Opole. There were also international treats, a Goodahead representative from Ukraine was present at the meeting.

The Magento platform, owned by eBay, informed that it will abandon two of its products intended for small and medium-sized businesses, MagentoGo and ProStores. The company posted relevant information on the pages of both products and a guide to help migrate stores to other platforms. In total, both products are used by nearly 10,000 sellers.

2014 is a year of expectations that many new products will appear. It is a time of technological freshness, thanks to which we can be surprised by these various ways of using the existing methods of business development.

Being an online vendor, you may not always have the possibility to contact your customers directly. Hence -the support tickets, online chat, customer reviews, forums, and telephone orders, which are probably the only way to get feedback from the client. Unfortunately, most of them do not always give a sincere opinion about completed purchases, and take too much time and attention, because it is the only way to gather and organize the right amount of information.

After tests are finished, it is good to clean database with any unnecessary accounts. Below commands should remove unliked writings from the customer's charts.

Every implementation is followed by the moment when removing some testing and badly imported files is necessary. If their amount is not high, this can be done from the level of administration panel. What if we need to remove thousands of products? Of course this can be done by sitting hour after hour doing this manually but what we also can do is to remove it by database.

The best way to delete unlike links is to write easy module. At the beginning please create configurative file which will be the part of our module ((app/code/local/Global4net/Customerlinks/config.xml) and rewrite the following code :

As to translate particular phrases, these must be saved in files which contains a form of proper string:

According to the above, it is worth remembering that having SSH access after the work is done, we are able to reset files rights just as to protect them before possible danger. Please never leave 777 access for diles or catalogues on the output store version. As to delete rights from the server console, please do the following activities :
