Magento… What? Wait, let’s go by parts.

The upward trend in e-commerce was clear, but with the pandemic, online purchases by users have skyrocketed.

As businesses, we will always want to sell more. So, if you have an online store that desire will be fulfilled, because more and more purchases are made through the Internet: the comfort and speed it provides to customers favors this fact.

What are you waiting for? Read on, and we’ll tell you more things you need to know.

What is Magento

Exactly, it is an open source platform that facilitates the development of online stores.

It is a CMS, that is, a content manager, like WordPress (which we talked about a few days ago), but specialized in e-commerce and with all the functionalities that it entails.

There are others such as Prestashop or WooComerce, but this one has positioned itself as one of the best.

With the development of online stores on this platform, it also allows you to control all the internal functions and all the elements that an e-commerce website must have.

It should be said that for a normal user it can be quite difficult to use, but for an agency (as we are ?) it is one of the most used.

You can use internal system tools such as:

• Product catalogs
  
  
• Helps plan online marketing strategies
  
  
• SEO analysis: for the web and for the products in particular
  
  
• Control of sales, products and customers
