Magento e-commerce benefits

The Magento webshop has many non-standard features such as customer groups, product comparisons and multi-stores. The SEO possibilities are also good. By choosing a Magento webshop you will benefit from the following advantages:

1. Cross-selling
The web shop provides a central product database. In this database you can put properties, attributes and relationships between products. This enables cross-selling throughout the webshop. The products can be batch imported and exported manually or linked to suppliers and/or data providers via the VOSBA platform.

2. Customer groups and order management
Besides products, the Magento webshop also contains a database of customers and orders. You can divide your customers into customer groups, enabling differentiated pricing. Each order is provided with a status history. Changes in status remain traceable this way.

3. Easy ordering and payment
The online store features a shopping cart that tracks all orders. Checking out can be done on a single page. This page connects to a secure payment page (SSL). Visitors to your webshop can make purchases as "guests" or create a login and order products as a registered customer. Also, this webshop can be easily linked to the most widely used payment providers, such as Paypal, Buckaroo, MultoSafepay, Docdata and Ingenico (formerly Ogone) with payment methods such as iDeal, pay by invoice and pay afterwards.

4. Multilingualism
Magento as a webshop is available in multiple language versions. Both the frontend and backend of the webshop can be offered in a different language version (Dutch is available by default). You can adjust your product assortment and pricing per language version.

5. Composing content pages
Your own Magento e-commerce platform allows you to build content pages. These are static pages with text, images and downloads. These pages use custom templates.

6. Multishops
With a single Magento backend, you can offer multiple webshops or sites (so-called storefronts or showcases). The advantage is that you can use the same product database. For each shop you can then determine how much information the different shops will share with each other. If desired, with (then you have a web shop) or without (then you have an online catalog) the ability to order products.

7. Multiple user profiles
You can divide the administrators of your shop into user profiles. Per user profile, you can set different access rights, but also, for example, different prices. With a plug-in, you can even offer different payment and shipping options.

8. Open Source Software
Starting a Magento e-commerce platform with the Community Edition is relatively inexpensive. You only pay for the build and implementation. You do not pay a hefty monthly fee for the software license. Should you want to use the Enterprise Edition, you do pay a license fee. But often you can get by just fine with the Community Edition.

9. Grow gradually
With your own Magento E-commerce platform, you have the opportunity to opt for gradual growth. The platform has a very active community, where new functionalities and modules are developed. Each time you decide whether to integrate these functionalities within your existing webshop. An update or upgrade, a professionalization is thus entirely up to you.
