Magento
Enterprise e-commerce platform: advanced marketing, SEO, mobile commerce and international support.
What is Magento?
Magento is an open source enterprise e-commerce platform launched in 2008 and built with the Zend Framework. It offers advanced promotion and marketing tools, detailed analytics and reports, optimised SEO, complete catalogue management, mobile commerce, international support and payment and shipping processing.
What is Magento for?
- A business with a large catalogue that needs advanced marketing, SEO and detailed analytics.
- A high-volume store that requires a robust, scalable enterprise platform.
- An international business that needs complete support for multiple countries, currencies and languages.
Main benefits of Magento

Optimised SEO and detailed integrated analytics.

Enterprise-grade platform with high scalability.
Who should use Magento?
Businesses with large catalogues or high sales volume that need a robust enterprise platform.
Is Magento the right choice for you?
It's a great fit if…
- If you have a large catalogue and need advanced marketing and SEO features.
- If you sell internationally and need full support for multiple currencies and tax zones.
- If your business generates high order volume and needs a scalable platform.
It might not be for you if…
- If you're just starting out or have a small catalogue, where PrestaShop or OpenCart require fewer resources.
- If your hosting has limited resources, as Magento takes up nearly 800 MB and uses more CPU and RAM than other platforms.
