Magento developer

Magento is a highly customizable and versatile open source e-commerce CMS (content management system). It is also the most deployed standalone e-commerce platform available.

Although Magento is a ready-to-use platform, for most uses, it requires customization by a Magento developer. Most users like to have a custom design and use third-party payment providers such as Paypal and Ideal. Because of its modular design and high popularity, many extensions are available. This is a big advantage since many custom functionalities don’t need to be custom-developed anymore, and developers tend to find solutions quicker if they get stuck in their work. This saves both time and money in the process.

Due to its versatility, Magento offers lots of interesting opportunities for a wide variety of applications.

Retail, wholesale, and dual-channel marketing

Magento offers options to set up different stores, prices, and tier-prices for each customer or group. You can set different prices for a single product. A product with a base price of $10 can be sold for $8 to resellers or $9 to consumers when they order 5+ items. Other options include discounts of 10% to all products for resellers, or just setting a discount of 10% on all electronics. Any combination is possible and Magento offers all the tools for using a single store to sell through multiple channels.

ERP & CRM software connections & synchronization

If you are currently using ERP software to manage your product prices, stock, and orders, you might be wondering how to combine this with your e-commerce store. The good news is you don’t have to worry about that. Magento can trigger your ERP software if an order is placed. When you update prices in your ERP software, they can automatically be updated in your Magento store. When a new customer registers in your Magento store, it can be automatically added to your CRM software. The possibilities are endless.
