Aheadworks Extensions: August Updates 2026

August has been an action-packed month for the Aheadworks engineering and product teams. Alongside keeping our entire catalog aligned with the latest technology standards, we are excited to officially launch a brand-new storefront customization tool, deliver a major multi-feature upgrade to Store Locator, and bring advanced features to our flagship B2B and Subscription suites.

Check out our latest software releases, feature updates, and broad Magento 2.4.9 and Hyvä compatibility updates.

Brand-New Release

Smart Product Tabs for Magento 2

New Release

Transform messy technical specifications, size charts, and media into dynamic, structured storefront tab layouts without touching a line of code.

  • Manage custom tab groups from a centralized control panel without touching code.

  • Pull and sync catalog attributes automatically via native Magento Attribute Sets.

  • Add rich visual media like size guides, videos, and banners into tabs effortlessly.

  • Control tab visibility based on specific SKUs, categories, or store views.

  • Keep layouts clean by automatically hiding empty attribute rows and blank tabs.

Our Extension Just Got Better

Store Locator

We’ve overhauled Store Locator for Magento 2 to turn physical store listings into a powerful driver for local SEO, brand engagement, and offline foot traffic.

What’s New in Version 1.4.0:

  • Dedicated Location Pages: Standalone store pages with custom URLs, rich content, and full Hyvä theme support.

  • Advanced Local SEO: Custom meta tags, canonicals, automated dynamic fallbacks, and hreflang support for multi-store setups.

  • Simplified Search UI: Clean single-input layout with instant location auto-detection and custom radius selection.

  • Opening Hours & Schema.org: Regular and holiday schedules, dynamic time formats, and automated local search structured data.

  • Features & Amenities: Assign and display store-specific services (e.g., In-store pickup, Fitting rooms).

  • Enhanced Security: Hardened field escaping across storefront views, location APIs, file uploads, and admin rights.

Latest Product Enhancements & Platform Updates 

We’ve updated another batch of extensions for Magento 2.4.9 and Hyvä theme compatibility. As part of our ongoing commitment to store safety, our engineering team is actively rolling out critical security patches and code hardening across our entire extension catalog to keep your business fully protected.
