Categorized as : Ecommerce, Shopify Apps and Magento 2 Extensions
As we wrap up 2024, it’s time to celebrate the milestones that made this year exceptional at Aheadworks. From advancing our Magento extensions to expanding the Shopify apps range, we’ve worked hard to deliver tools that empower businesses to grow and thrive.
Join us as we look back at our biggest highlights and reflect on how we’ve made a difference for our merchants this year.
Meet Magento Florida 2024: A Celebration of Adobe Commerce Growth
We started 2024 by proudly hosting a major event: Meet Magento Florida 2024 (MMFL24). As a global conference, it brought together the Adobe Commerce community – merchants, developers, and industry leaders – to share real-world insights, explore innovations, and build valuable connections.
With engaging keynote sessions, discussions, and incredible networking opportunities, MMFL24 powered by Rave Digital+Aheadworks became a perfect platform to celebrate progress and strengthen connections across the Adobe Commerce ecosystem.
Magento 2 Extensions: Major Updates and Strategic Advancements
This year was all about growth and strategic progress for our Magento extensions. We’ve focused on introducing powerful updates, new integrations, and long-term solutions for Magento 2 merchants.
Transition to SaaS: A Major Step Forward
One of our proudest achievements was transitioning Advanced Subscription Products to a SaaS-based format. This move brings significant benefits to businesses, including:
- Improved scalability for growing demands;
- Faster implementation to streamline operations;
- Simplified updates to reduce maintenance costs.
By embracing SaaS, merchants can now operate more efficiently and adapt to market changes with greater flexibility.
Saying Goodbye to Advanced Subscription Products Version 2
But with progress comes change. To embrace the future and continue to innovate, we sometimes have to say goodbye to certain things. This year, we made the decision to announce the sunset of the Advanced Subscription Products 2 development. This strategic step allows us to invest in modern, scalable solutions that better meet the evolving needs of businesses. Our goal remains the same: to provide cutting-edge tools that empower our customers to succeed in a fast-paced digital world.
New Features for Magento 2 Success: Boost Performance and Engagement
Of course, we didn’t stop there – 2024 saw the release of powerful new tools across our extensions:
- Reward Points now offer bonus points for product reviews with images, giving merchants a new way to engage customers;
- Store Locator integrates seamlessly with Google Maps, helping businesses make it easier for customers to find their nearest stores;
- Advanced Subscription Products now equipped with Stripe support in multistore environments and smarter management of subscriptions with out-of-stock items.
These are just a few of the features we introduced this year. Our extensions have continued to evolve, and we invite you to explore all the new features that are now available.
Seamless Integrations: Elevating the Magento 2 Store Experience
At Aheadworks, we believe that powerful tools are even stronger when they work together. This year, we introduced a range of new integrations to help merchants get the most out of their Magento stores.These include powerful new combinations like:
- Advanced Subscription Products with Simple Bundle Products, providing more flexibility for subscription-based offerings;
- Advanced Reports paired with B2B Company Accounts for deeper business insights;
- Order Success Page and Customer Segmentation to deliver personalized post-purchase experiences that drive engagement and loyalty.
On top of this, we expanded support for external tools and platforms:
- Advanced Subscription Products now integrates with Klaviyo for advanced email marketing and Stripe 4 for seamless payment processing. Tax and payment solutions were further strengthened with Avalara and Mollie integrations;
- Smart One Step Checkout also gained Avalara support, simplifying tax automation during checkout for a more efficient customer experience;
- Quick Order by SKU now works seamlessly with ElasticSuite to ensure faster and more efficient search, making operations smoother than ever.
And that’s not all! We’re also especially proud to share that 34 of our extensions now support Hyvä, helping merchants deliver a faster, smoother frontend experience.
Shopify App Growth: Smarter Tools for Marketing and Tracking
Our Shopify ecosystem saw significant growth in 2024. To help merchants succeed in their marketing and tracking efforts, we acquired two innovative apps:
Both tools empower Shopify merchants to manage multiple pixels and track performance to run smarter, data-driven marketing campaigns across TikTok and Pinterest platforms.
We’re also proud to have earned two new Build for Shopify badges for our apps: SEOmatic and Buildify Drag and Drop Builder. These badges reflect our dedication to building high-quality solutions that simplify workflows and deliver measurable results for businesses.
Looking Ahead to 2025: What’s Next?
As we celebrate our achievements in 2024, we’re setting ambitious goals for the year ahead.
Our 2025 resolution is simple: to continue evolving, growing, and delivering exceptional solutions that help you succeed in the ever-changing eCommerce landscape.
And we’re already working on something big and groundbreaking for 2025 that we can’t wait to share with you. Stay tuned for exciting updates that will redefine possibilities for your business!
