Magento Commerce is one of the biggest and best ecommerce platforms out there right now. It currently empowers more than 90000 online stores around the world. Armed with everything you need to manage and successfully run an online store, Magento now boasts these amazing numbers:
We just upgraded our stores with Magento Commerce 1.5 and wanted to share the new features that were introduced in the latest update.
The latest update basically doesn’t change the framework and schema of the store a lot which means that upgrading to the new version will not be difficult for your existing stores. The templates, skin and customisation should not break with the new version.
System > Import/Export now has the ability to pick Import or Export and export.
You can then pick what data to export (Products / Customers) and what attributes to filter the data with.
The Order data is now stored in the database and not XML files which means that you can now modify Order State and Status directly through Magento admin
via System > Order Statuses
You can also modify an order address after an order. You can change the Billing Address as well as the Shipping Address using the edit buttons next to the order.
After changing an order address you get a message
“Changing address information will not recalculate shipping, tax or other order amount.â€
The 1.5 Magento Commerce comes with a new Magento Connect Manager Upgrade. The new version is 2.0 of the Magento Connect Manager.
This will show a “the site is not available right now due to maintenance/upgrade messageâ€
The new direct package installation means that you can build your own packages and install them without the extension key.
We are now adding a dedicated Support Videos for our clients that shows them visually how to manage and maintain their Magento Commerce Stores. We initally have the the following videos for our clients
We are including a lot of Australian attributes to the videos such as GST. The videos will focus primarily on the Australian market and discuss how to open up an online store in Australia. So when you add products, the videos will guide you in case you need to include GST in your pricing or not.
This video explains how to add a simple product to your catalog, what attributes to use, how to use pricing and how to make sure it doesn’t show up in results if you have an option for your customers to buy variations of the product
This video explains how to duplicate a simple product to quickly build your product catalog in a magento commerce e-commerce store
This video shows how to create a configurable product from the Simple Products, how you can manage your variables and offer your customers choice of those products using a configurable product. This also alerts the magento user about what attributes need to be changed to make sure this is a smooth process.
This video deals with how to you set up Up-Sell, Cross-sell and related products options.
Because of bandwidth and support considerations, these videos will only be available for existing e-Commerce clients. Ask us for more info and access by emailing us at info@dzineclub.com
To start off the new year, we have just launched DzineClub Resources. This is a separate Resource section for our clients where they can go and learn how to make the most out of the platform that they are using.

Based on our hosting offering, we have now launched a test store so that you can test the speed and features of Magento Commerce.
Here is the link for the store front. Please note this is a test store so there are no actual products on the store.
We are currently involved in building a few Magento commerce stores in the next month for our clients. Stay tuned to view all our online stores as they go live before the end of November. Magento Commerce is a very exciting and feature rich platform powering over 30,000 online stores in the world.
As exciting as it is to be building Magento Commerce Stores, there is a big issue with the speed of Magento Commerce platform.
While other ecommerce platforms have 20-30 tables to run, Magento Commerce has over 300 tables that it pulls information from to show the information. This creates a big problem with normal web site hosts because of the amount of information that is being pulled out and the number of tables (sources) that you pull product information out of. Usually on a normal web hosting package, a Magento commerce page loads in roughly 20-30 seconds.
Some web site hosts also can have connection time out issues where your online store will not load because the data that is being pulled is taking too long to come.
On the back of building all these Magento Commerce websites for our clients, we have started using multiple hosts to see how they compare and hosting our clients websites on hosts that provide the best results. With that in mind, we are now announcing our own hosting packages that we can help you run your Magento Commerce platforms from. Because of our testing and hosting multiple ecommerce stores, you can be rest assured that you are getting stable hosting with the speed and performance that your Magento Commerce platform requires.
We will be releasing more details about the specifications of the store shortly, but meanwhile if you need more information please use our contact us page.
Send us an email at info@dzineclub.com to view example Magento Commerce stores that you can play around with.
The example store is now live at the address below for you to play around with.
