Magento has an intuitive administrative interface with effective marketing, search engine optimization, and a catalog of management tools that give marketers the ability to create pages tailored to their specific needs. The high flexibility of settings and the wide number of plugins and add-ons that can be used by online stores of various types are the reason for the popularity of this platform.
Magento 2 was launched in 2015 as a new version of the platform. It is a new product that provided new technological possibilities. The basic functions will allow you to create e-shops, thanks to which traders will increase turnover and accelerate market expansion.
