We provide unique services, create plans that fit for a wide range of companies. We also work with quite many types of business: retailers, wholesaler, manufacturers and other business in US-based market or other English speaking markets with staff who can speak Spanish and Portuguese.

What are the 3 most important criteria that you will consider when choosing extensions?

Robert: The first thing we look at is the team building up and maintaining extensions.

We want this team to use best practices of coding to keep up with new versions of Magento with new security patches. And this is important to us when we recommend extensions that we can trust and that can continue to keep up with ecosystem.

Also, certainly look at the reviews of the particular extensions in relation to the features that exactly how strong it is, how it meets the required criteria.

Third, we also look at the popularity of the extension, whether they are used a lot.

In short, the criteria are the supporting team behind the extensions, the reviews of extensions about their features, functionality and their overall popularity.

To what extent does Magestore meet your criteria as a partner?

Robert: We are working with great partners. It’s interesting to work with Magestore. Our company has worked with Magestore for over 6 years. For us, we always have higher reliability on Magestore’s extensions, not just in having them worked. We understand that when we use extensions for different websites, sometimes it appears to have conflicts but Magestore team is able to provide good support. With all of that, we highly recommend Magestore’s extensions.

Which extensions do you often buy from Magestore and the reason why?

Robert: There are 2 extensions we used the most.

The first one is Megamenu. It is a custom menu in Magento. It allows the merchants to be able to manage all from Magento backend. It’s very powerful, especially for responsiveness. We are very happy with that extension.

We also use your Gift card extension repeatedly. We use it a lot. We found it strong extension. Your team is able to collaborate and we are able to allow our customers to sell gifts cards online and offline. It’s a powerful system.

These are the 2 top extensions that are mostly used by our clients.

Can you share about one of your favorite projects in which you use Magestore’s extensions?

Robert: “While we’ve been utilizing Magestore’s extensions for over 6 years, we’re glad to have used Magestore’s Gift Card and Promotional Gift extensions in the new https://store.corvettemuseum.org/ , which we just recently launched.”
