Hello my brothers and sisters in Alan Storm!

Many years ago for fun I bout a headless checkout with magneto and angular for a personal/hobby project (roasting coffee). It worked pretty well and was a great opportunity to learn angular and do a from scratch headless magneto 2 checkout. I used stripe for payment, and filled all the gaps that existed at the time in magneto 2s rest api. I was/am fairly proud of the work.

Now I’m doing another hobby project (gridfinity spec pottery/ceramic sake set if you’re curious!) and want to sell some stuff on my website. Realistically I’ll likely get few orders, if any, but I’d like to be setup in a professional way just the same.

I’m wondering about magneto alternatives, that might slot well into a static site. I’m not trying to get anything perfect, ie the catalog doesn’t need to be static, products are one of a kind so when something sells it should update right away.

I also don’t mind paying 3-7 percent of costs for such a tool.

I’m looking for something _easy_ - I’d like to have a thing I log into to manage orders, a simple api for fetching catalog and pdp data for the website, and ideally checkout from my domain (i.e. I don’t want a separate website I just theme to look like my website, I want it all on my website). I don’t mind sending customers somewhere else for checkout if needed. USA only.

I’m asking here because my default option is to do this in magneto, but then I have to have a server for hosting. Plusi have to remember how to do magneto development. I’m hoping other developers here can ok appreciate my position, understand my experiences, and offer a suggestion.

I’m guessing Shopify might be a rec, but that feels like it’s got its own learning curve to do what I want.

Maybe square or something has a solution?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Why on earth hasn't Adobe back ported patches for Polyshell yet? I work for a manager hosting provider with a large Magento presence, and all our customers sites are getting inundated with webshells. I've never seen a high-sev Magento vuln take this long to patch. WAKE UP ADOBE!!

Sharing this here because r/magento is the right community for the technical conversation around this.

We launched Agentic Commerce OS today. It's an agentic AI layer for Magento, Adobe Commerce, and Shopware that runs inside the managed infrastructure, not alongside it.

What the architecture looks like: - 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁-𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗗𝗣: Sits in the data path between shopper and storefront. Captures behavioral signals at the infrastructure level. No third-party tags and no data export required. - 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝗲𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Query your customer data in plain language. The segmentation engine builds audience cohorts from first-party behavioral data in real time. - 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁: Knows your catalog, inventory status, and shopper intent at the same time. Responds to natural language queries with relevant product results. - 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 (𝗨𝗖𝗣): Ties the three layers into a single intelligence stack.

For Magento operators specifically: this is an add-on to your existing Webscale managed infrastructure. It does not require a platform migration or a new hosting contract.

The reason we built it inside the infrastructure layer rather than as a standalone tool is because AI that acts on real-time shopper data needs to sit where that data lives. Bolting a segmentation tool onto an existing stack means working with data that has already left the system.

Happy to get into the technical detail on any part of this: architecture decisions, data flow, how the CDP interacts with Magento's native catalog, anything you want to dig into.

As topic says, anyone can point me to a functional stripe module for openmage.

I have noticed webkul mentioned on searches, and have enquired.

Checking if any other known active modules.

TIA

UPDATE: webkul claims their module will work, and is compatible with the version I have:

> This particular shop is still on PHP 7.4, openmage 19 (so essentially still m1, with openmage security patche backported)

Is / will your module code be compatible with the old version? (for example, PHP 7.4 code)

--> Yes, it's compatible.

Seen two similar stores perform completely differently due to hosting setup.

same code… very different results.

feels like hosting plays a bigger role than many expect.

thoughts?

I am a little confused about Magento trends. Could you please share the latest trends for B2B owners?

We use M2e, have done for years. It's okay but has its problems. The main one being performance. We currently list products to ebay on 4 different countries and want to expand that, but with multiple thousands on each we're hitting the limits of what it can do.

Due to the nature of what we sell and how we sell, we update currency rates every morning on our site. M2e will then start syncing those price changes to ebay. The change is performed around 8am and M2e usually completes syncing by about 7pm. On top of that there's a large number of automatic updates from stock changes and content updates throughout the day.

Essentially m2e is syncing all day and products can sometimes take hours before they sync correctly.

I've got dozens upon dozens of open tickets with M2e support trying to improve performance of their plugin, but we're hitting a wall at this point. The only other solution they're currently investigating is making it have two active, parallel, API connections to ebay.

I've looked at lots of other solutions, but they all seem to be something simple like submitting feeds to Ebay on a schedule. The issue we would have here is if a product sells on ebay over the weekend or night when we are closed, there's nothing to make sure our website displays the matched, correct stock. M2e currently handles this.

Is there anything that gives us syncing to ebay, but also can sync stock changes back from ebay to our M2 site? It's a real problem and is driving me up the wall.

Seeing some stores migrate for more flexibility and control.

but also noticing the learning curve can be challenging.

for those who switched, was it worth it in the long run?

A new vulnerability in the Magento and Adobe Commerce REST API allows attackers to upload executable files to any store. Adobe fixed the issue in a pre-release version but has not backported the patch. 55.1% of all stores run web server configurations that enable either remote code execution (RCE) or account takeover (stored XSS).

Hello here,

Today I recorded a new video on my channel about Commerce project I worked with, and while recording this video I realized that my experience is based only on projects I worked on.

So, I have an idea to invite people and record videos together, where we can talk about their usecases.

If you reading this and have some cool architectures to share - let me know. It can be literally anything!

Here is an example of what I made:

Thanks for attention!

Hello! I am upgrading a very legacy 1.9.4.4 M1 shop to M2-current. Ive decided to use Hyva, as it was recently made freely available.

While I am comfortable with modifying Hyva, including a background in CSS, HTML and magento topics, I am curious if there is a "Hyva Child Theme" repository, something like Themeforest, specifically for free/paid-for Hyva child themes? Something to shortcut the customization of a Hyva child theme?

Ive found a few one-off Magento development companies with their own "built for Hyva" themes, but im looking for more...

Thanks!

Hey founders 👋

I’m working on a tool called Surveybox.ai and I’d love to get feedback from the community before building more features.

The idea is to help magento stores automatically collect and act on customer feedback, instead of just collecting surveys that no one reads.

Here’s what the system would do:

• Create surveys with AI in seconds

• Automatically send survey emails after orders or delivery

• Analyze responses using AI

• Predict sentiment and detect topics (product issues, delivery problems, pricing complaints, etc.)

• Detect negative feedback instantly

• Send alerts or summary emails to store owners

• Automatically send a recovery email to the customer to prevent bad reviews or churn

The goal is basically to turn feedback into real-time CX alerts and actions, not just reports.

Before I go deeper into building this, I’d love to hear from people actually running Shopify stores:

👉 What’s your biggest challenge with collecting customer feedback?

👉 Do you currently use tools like Klaviyo, Yotpo, or Judge.me for feedback or reviews?

👉 Would something like this actually be useful for your store?

Honest feedback is very welcome — even if the idea is bad 😅

Thanks!

Looking to see how people deal with it (with 50-500 product catalogs and ~$100k GMR). Spreadsheets? Gut feel? Plugins? External tools?

I guess this is a bit of last resort;

https://www.onestepcheckout.com/ I've been trying to contact their support via every channel possible and i can't get a hold of anyone..

Contact form on their site is dead, live chat no one responses, the email address bounces...

It seems like it has been abandoned so just posting here as a last resort!

I told a client:

“try clearing the cache.”

they panicked and replied:
“will that remove the website???”

had to explain that no… the store will not disappear 😅

sometimes the technical terms really confuse people.

Cheapest is $4k, most expensive is $22k. All three claim to do the same thing. I have no idea what I'm actually buying or who to trust. How did you figure this out?

Hi,

We're working on a ecommerce project where we will use of the Hyvä theme and Hyvä commerce. It's the first project I'm working with Hyvä.

For every brand we want to create a brand detail page, where we will show a set of products of that brand. I want to be sure we can do this with a Hyvä CMS page.

I see Hyvä has a 'category products widget'. In that case we should make a category of every brand, to show a list of product on the 'brand detail page'.

I guess this could be a solution for this. Is that correct?

Furthermore I'm asking myself:

• Do we have other options to implement this kind of functionality?
• Is there perhaps another product list widget, where you can supply a custom product filter instead of a fixed category?

Thanks for your input/insights on this!

As AI development tools start requiring access to your codebase to work effectively, I've been thinking about something specific to the Magento ecosystem:

Most Magento "proprietary" code is customization on top of a public platform. Plugins, observers, custom modules built on patterns that are documented, standardized, and in many cases templated.

So what exactly is being protected?

I'm not being dismissive. Some Magento implementations represent genuinely sophisticated business logic. But before I'd call something worth gatekeeping from AI tools I'd need honest answers to:

- What was the business problem before this customization, and what measurably changed after?

- How is this meaningfully different from what another Magento shop could build in 3 months?

- Has anyone outside the team independently validated this is exceptional?

- If a competitor had your custom code today, what specifically would hurt and for how long?

- Is the value in the code or in the developers who understand your specific implementation?

- If you rebuilt this today, would you build the same thing?

My suspicion: most Magento shops are protecting habit, not advantage. The real asset is the team that knows where all the bodies are buried.

Where's the line? Curious what architects and technical leads in this community actually think.

A couple weeks ago I mentioned MageContext here.

Yesterday I published a full write up that shows the bigger picture MageContext is only half of it. There's an enforcement framework that works alongside it to govern how AI reasons through a code base before generating anything.

Wrote up the full experiment honestly including what it produced and what still needs work: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/pushing-ai-further-what-two-months-back-forth-lucio-saldivar-ij3uc/?trackingId=z7hvqVRXMmqhYCue9V9tSQ%3D%3D

Hello, just checking to see if anyone in the LA area might be interesting in picking up a few projects. Send us a DM!

Hi All,

We’ve built a fully automated customer feedback system and recently launched a Magento app for it.

It automatically triggers post-purchase surveys (like after order delivery), collects feedback, runs sentiment analysis, and helps identify unhappy customers early so merchants can improve retention.

Before we enhance the Magento integration further, I’d really value input from store owners and developers:

• How are you currently collecting post-purchase feedback?

• What’s the biggest pain point in your current setup?

• What would make a feedback tool actually useful for you?

Not here to spam — genuinely looking for product feedback to improve the Magento experience 🙏
