Maintaining thousands of ecommerce stores Magento has always been a tasty morsel for numerous online criminals and now they’ve got a real opportunity to tear off a piece of this pie.
Content constitutes a big part of any marketing strategy and its role is rising constantly.

Striving to offer only an excellent service for our customers we constantly extend the product line in our store.
Staying strictly within this strategy we’d like to offer you three new extensions in our catalog:
Import/Export Orders – imports and exports Magento orders and related customer information;
Stripe Payment – provides integration with the Stripe payment gateway;
UPS/USPS Address Validation – automatically verifies customers’ shipping addresses.
The Subscriptions and Recurring Payments extension provides one of those great services, which are both required by customers and beneficial for merchants. Offering product subscriptions is a real chance to increase sales and improve provided customer service in your store.
Using this extension you are able to offer subscriptions to your customers and use the extended tool set for their configuration and tracking.
