Hello
 

We require a solution to address the following needs for our Prestashop 8.05 webshop, which involves sourcing products from various suppliers:

1. Product Variety: We offer numerous products available from different suppliers, some of which may be identical but have varying wholesale prices.

2. Order Fulfillment: When a customer places an order for a product in stock with one of the suppliers, we procure these items and handle the shipping ourselves. We do not employ dropshipping. Furthermore, we maintain a physical store where we stock some products.

To meet these requirements, we are seeking a stock management system that can:

1. Supplier Assignment: Assign each product to its respective supplier, including our own shop as a supplier.

2. Price Adjustments: Modify the product's final price based on the wholesale price of the chosen supplier.

3. Priority Rules: Establish rules for prioritizing supplier selection, taking into consideration factors such as price or product availability.

4. Stock Updates: Enable the easy and efficient update of stock levels for the different suppliers via an import function.

What would be the most effective approach to tackle these requirements?

I have already adopted it and it saves me a lot of time and above all it improves considerably the performance of my clients' stores by keeping a good quality database.

So, this module will help you in the task of maintaining your data in order to remove all those that are useless or obsolete.

The module integrates precise and explained scenarios to allow you to make the right decisions to schedule with cron tasks some of the scenarios or simply to launch them manually when you need them.

Both Magento and Shopify are leading e-commerce website in current years. Each of them is used for different business targets. However, as many experts pointed out, Magento wins in some aspects, which can help online owners and developers to make the right choice. 
 
*Costs:
- Setup fees 
Although charging no fees for setup, Shopify indeed supports a 14-day free trial for web developers and store owners to test the functionalities and features. Meanwhile, Magento is totally free to install and use. 
- Monthly fees 
Shopify offers four different plans with monthly fees ranging from $14 to $179 as follows:
• Starter Plan : $ 14
• Basic Plan : $ 29
• Professional Plan : $79
• Unlimited Plan : $179
With Magento, you’ll have to provide your own hosting, which is available at monthly costs ranging anywhere from $5 to 100s of dollars.
 
*Product features 
Because Magento started out as an open-source web application, it’s more flexible when it comes to customization. There are three things Magento is better at than Shopify: offering your store in multiple languages, providing discount codes and integrating with Ebay. With the more expensive Magento plans, you get the ability to offer your store to users in a several different languages; Shopify does not, at time of writing, currently permit this ‘out of the box’. As for discount codes, both Shopify and Magento offer them, but in the case of Shopify, only on the more expensive plans (Magento offers them as standard). Finally, Magento integrates extremely well with Ebay– you can manage both your Ebay store and your Magento Go store using one control panel.
 
*Marketing:
Magento provides powerful SEO features like SEO friendly URLs, meta info, a Google sitemap and a handy Google Content API for expanding on your SEO customization. Both solutions can integrate with Google Analytics.
Furthermore, Magento supports great deal of built-in promotion options, since you receive features for upselling, promotional pricing, flexible coupons, related products, free shipping, product bundling and more. This feature helps online store owners a lot to push sales quickly with more conversions.
 
Choose Shopify or Magento depends totally on your demands. However, as you can see the experts' recommendation, Magento may give you more chances to improve your business efficiently. If you are owning a Shopify store and intend to transfer data to Magento, you can find out LitExtension service: Shopify to Magento migration tool.

In contrast, if you feel your current Magento store bring unexpected profits, use Magento to Shopify migration tool to change your online store.

How to Add Product Attribute Programmatically in Magento 2

Ecommerce businesses are at some point in the process of choosing an ecommerce platform to start their business, migrate to or upgrade to. Comparison between the two industry leaders Magento 2 vs Shopify is quintessential for these people. At a higher level both these platforms are designed with one objective, optimize ecommerce performance. The choice can often be tricky and complicated.

1.  Brand Presence
   • Both these platforms have a strong market presence and a loyal following. With a collective market share of 18% between them, they are far ahead of the pack. According to a recent report there are 155,818 active websites which are powered by Magento.
   • Shopify powers close to 249,384 websites in the domain of ecommerce. However, Magento holds the highest share in the top rated sites, which feature in Alexa ratings. Magento has 15,583 sites in comparison to Shopify’s 8,660 in Alexa top 1M.
   • This clearly indicated that brands looking for long-term scalability and growth prefer Magento over Shopify. This point is reinforced by the fact that top brands like Paul Smith, Agent Provocateur, Hermes, Fred Perry and Nike prefer Magento. These stores churn out revenue to the tune of $1 Billion.
2. Theme and Design
   • Choosing an apt theme is the vital in building a loyal brand. You should be able to forge a brand that is unique and can connect with your customers. The major part that goes in your branding exercise is design.
   • In this aspect both Shopify and Magento offer great responsive themes for all screen sizes. This takes care of your omni channel strategy with a default mobile responsive site.
   • However, themes offered by Shopify are proprietary and cannot be tweaked to suit your brand needs. In Shopify, not much customization can be done barring fonts and styling.
   •  
   • After the acquisition of Bluefoot, Magento 2 inculcated the drag and drop option in its theme manager. This allows even non-technical users to create beautiful themes suiting their brand imaging. Additionally, Magento users also enjoy the benefit of working on an open source platform. Ecommerce companies can leverage on agency services to develop custom themes without compromising efficiency.
3. Hosting and Performance
   • Site performance is a critical factor. Imagine with a page load delay of 1 to 3 seconds, the probability of the bounce rate increases by 32%. That is the importance associated with page load time. Hosting plays a prime role in the page load time of your site.
   • If you fail to address this issue your shopper is very unlikely to come back for a return purchase. In this factor there is a marked difference between Shopify and Magento. Shopify is a complete self-hosted solution and the onus of maintaining your site on Shopify.
   • Magento 2 comes with two hosting options i.e. Open source and Cloud. Open source is the option where you have to take care of hosting. This is a very strong point in favor of Magento as you can easily choose from numerous reliable Magento hosting provider like Nexcess. You can always opt for budget friendly plans available with the hosting provider.
   • Choosing a cloud commerce Magento solution provides you a site which never goes down completely hosted and maintained by Magento.
4.  Marketing and SEO
   • SEO and Marketing is another important factor and important for long term in brand building. In this scenario, choosing a SEO friendly ecommerce platform is of prime importance. In term of this factor both Shopify and Magento fare well.
   • SEO capability is native to Shopify. Editing meta tags, optimizing product pages by including SEO is fairly easy for Shopify users. Shopify even allows in-depth SEO optimization function which allows you to modify the file structure. This makes the job easier for Google crawlers and drastically improves the SEO ratings.
   • However, according to a study conducted by BuiltWith, Magento outperforms Shopify on the SEO index. Magento being an open source platform has more flexibility in relation to SEO perspective. Shopify is self-hosted and this makes changes in URL structure and SEO implementation a bit difficult.
   • Magento provides the facility to fine tune permalinks and meta content. Using no follows, redirects and canonical tags is easier here. This make indexing and ranking Magento based ecommerce websites easier.
5.  Product Management
   • All said and done both Shopify and Magento are ecommerce platforms. Being ecommerce platforms they should have a robust product/inventory management system in place. There is again a stark difference between Shopify and Magento in regards to this factor.
   • Shopify only has 2 types of products i.e. simple and configurable products. But in Shopify’s favor the front end management is very easy. This makes the work easier for ecommerce retailers having standard catalogues and selling simple products. The CSV import option in Shopify further augments this point in Shopify’s favor.
   • However, managing Shopify is difficult when product range and business complexity grows. Magento caters perfectly to a business with a complex and wide product range. Magento supports more product types such as simple, configurable, bundled, downloadable and virtual products.
   • These robust and native features of Magento makes product management easy for you. The same can be developed with Shopify with the help of third party extensions.
6. Multi-Store Management
   • Any business is poised for growth. When an ecommerce store grows, you must add multiple stores and channels to match your distribution channels.
   • Magento is very good at managing multiple stores and channels and this is a strong point in its favor. Magento allows business owners to assign product names at a global level but manage the attribute at a store level. The same product catalog can be shared across multiple channels, stores and websites with the ability to make changes at those levels on the fly.
   • This is the feature of Magento which is utilized perfectly by international brands with multiple stores like Nestle and Nike.
   • Shopify on the other hand also supports multiple stores, but it is not as robust as Magento. Shopify does not have a proper multi store management architecture which is native to Magento. This heavily tips the scales in favor of Magento.
7. B2B Capabilities
   • What good is an ecommerce platform when it cannot cater to its B2B audience? Magento and Shopify are almost neck-to-neck in terms of features. But Magento races ahead over its competitor in the domain of B2B.
   • Magento has great B2B capabilities which is native to this platform. Any additional extensions and tweaks are not needed for using Magento 2 for B2B ecommerce. Creating customer grouping, customer order based pricing, tiered pricing and personalized quotes are all part of Magento functionality even to its predecessor Magento 1.
   • Magento has only upped its ante by introducing advanced B2B features. Creating customer specific catalogues, assigning budgets to companies based on their orders, managing customer settings, creating customer and company specific product catalogues are all part of the all new Magento B2B features.
