Magento is a feature-rich, professional open-source e-commerce solution offering merchants complete flexibility and control over the look, content, and functionality of their online store.

Magento is the smarter e-commerce solution allowing scalable integration with back end systems such as ERP and CRM. The customisation options are unparalleled with a huge variety of effective plugins available including the One Step Checkout tool that really ramps up basket to sale rates.

With search engine visibility being so important your business will need a solution that delivers. The Magento platform works to the XML site map standard and includes tools for linking up to Google Base.

Magento includes easy to use web content management tools so that anyone can add or edit content on their e-commerce website.

Out of the box integration with the major payment providers such as Paypal and Google Checkout means even smaller vendors can get up and running quickly. For more established e-commerce traders it integrates with all of the major payment gateways such as Sage, Card Save and World Pay.
