Magento is a well known open source platform to revolutionize the entire ecommerce world. Whether you want to focus on result oriented designing or you have concern regarding the attractive representation of your products, you can trust on Magento for better deals. This extensive ecommerce platform has simplified things so far for merchants and offers a customer friendly foundation to all. I love the Magento application for its EAV design patterns that make it a preferable tool for developers and retailers equally. By reading Magento development strategies online and going through books in this regard, one can understand well about tools and techniques affiliated with the program. In this way, you can not only know well about front end and backend extensions but also the way for distribution of custom modules.
If you want to run multiple web stores through single Magento installation, you can use special extensions for this purpose. Selecting the right product attribute in the advance search page, you can make things favorable for you. Below is the list of top five Magento extensions I prefer always.
GridActions
This smart Magento extension has been develop for specific set up of grid for speeding up repetitive tasks. As this extension is good to manage daily’s overhandling, you will find it beneficial for you in multiple ways. Below is the list of services offered by this extension–
• Specification of invoice order’s status for capturing
• Shipping orders (confirmation whether the shipping e mail sent to the customer)
• Specification of shipping of all items, non back ordered items and invoiced items
• Change in order status
• Catalogue management
I was surprised to know that the grid action is good also for working with another extension, Pending Order Grid extension which is available for sales an orer grid for configuration. In this way, you can include the actions to pending order grid.
Pending order grid
Another lovable extension for Magento I admire is Pending Order Extension that works for removal of orders from current status. It helps for speeding up grid listing as well as maintenance of processing status. Thus, you need not to employ any extra filter to the application. The configuration steps to display use fields in the grid is System->Configuration menu; it offers you the chance for specification of required field, title and list of sorted out orders. If you want to customize this grid, you can use an observer for the same.
The addresslabel PDF
Next to be admired in the list of Magento extensions is fully customizable addresslabel PDF. With the help of this application, you can define field location, layout, page size and page background. Whether you want to print order labels for reference about shipping label or you are willing to label per order, per item, per head increment, you can choose this adresslabel PDF.
Back order status
Back order status is known well for its efficiency of allowing the user sales of products when no stock is available. Ordered item in such case is labeled as backorder. With this extension, you can change the status of order and identify backordered items quickly. In this way, you can check after the arrival of new stock whether you have enough products to meet backordered demands.
