As we head into the new year, many of us will be taking a closer look at our Magento e-commerce shops and maybe do a little fine-tuning. Maybe there are some adjustments you’ve been delaying until other issues were taken care of first. Or maybe it’s just time to take an inventory of your Magento extensions and see if you’re missing anything or could stand to get rid of any.
We here at Shoppimon have compiled a list of some of our favorite Magento Extensions that, if you haven’t yet heard of, you should definitely check out. Some were developed by Shoppimon partners and some, we just heard of along the way. But all of them are useful and we wanted to share our findings with you…
Happy New Year to all!
