The community brings maturity  and evolution to the 100% OpenSource project, where  initiatives like developers meetings and hacking events enable developers around the world to bring their ideas and improvements every day. Furthermore, Magento is fully scalable, so it’s perfect for a small business and for a multistore as well, and it easily tailors to growing businesses, growing with them.

Otras características a tener en cuenta de Magento son su excelente gestión de pedidos, su optimización SEO por defecto y la posibilidad de integrar diferentes métodos de pago y envío. Sin olvidar una función muy útil para sacar informes y análisis sobre el rendimiento de tu tienda online y que cuenta con herramientas de marketing muy potentes, funcionales y fáciles de usar.

Besides of its features, you can add new functionalities to Magento through a large number of extensions. We sell them in www.extensionbuffet.com, a marketplace of extensions developed by our own and by our partners, like BrainSINS, eComDev or Ebizmarts. Furthermore, as we develop the extensions ourselves, we have a specialized Customer’s Service to help you installing the extension and in case of doubts.

It has become, because all of the above, a popular global solution; 26% of online stores use Magento* and its a perfect solution for every kind of business, no matter the size.
