- 31. Top 5 Tips to Maximize Magento
- 32. Tip #1: Manage prices globally or per website. A configuration value allows you to manage pricing globally (update it once per Magento instance), or manage it on a per website level.
- 33. Tip #2: Share user account information and address books for all websites. Although accounts are not usually shared across websites, a configuration value allow the sharing of account information and address books across websites. Your customers can then have a single login across all websites (similar to Amazon and Target which share login information).
- 34. Tip #3: Limit promotions on a website level. When setting up price rules, a configuration option is available to restrict execution to specific websites.
- 35. Tip #4: Select a store-view when creating an order from the admin (via Magento’s Call Center functionality) By selecting a specific store view when creating a new order, your reports and dashboard will correctly report statistics in order to provide greater insight to your stores operation.
- 36. Tip #5: Design Exceptions allow store owners to specify an alternative theme for a specific user-agent. Instead of creating separate store views for user-agents (example: iPhone), design exceptions allow store owners to over-ride design settings of a store view, thus limiting the amount of store views that need to be managed.
