In this post I’ll show you comment build a custom "Reserve in Store" (Click & Collect) module for Magento 2. Think of this as a practical walk-through you can follow étape-by-étape while sipping coffee — I’ll explain the architecture, the clé fichiers and dossiers, comment integrate with paiement and stock, admin UI for managing stores and reservations, notifications, and a few performance conseils to keep your site snappy. Examples include concrete XML, PHP and JavaScript snippets you can copy and adapt for your project.

Why build a custom Click & Collect module?

Built‑in Magento fonctionnalités might not fit every commerçant’s needs: different pickup flux de travails, special store rules, varying stock handling with MSI, or bespoke e-mails and reminders. Building your own module means you control UX and logic — and you can integrate closely with your inventaire stratégie and your paiement.

High-level fonctionnalités we’ll cover

• Store selection during paiement (pickup point chooser)
• Persisting

How to Build a Custom 'Abandoned Cart' Recovery Strategy Beyond Emails (SMS, Push)

Abandoned carts are the low-hanging fruit of e-commerce: people who were close to buying but left. Most stores rely on e-mail, and e-mails are great — but you can significantly bump recoveries by building a multi-channel stratégie that includes SMS and bligneser push. In this post I’ll walk you through a practical, Magento 2-focused approche covering tiers SMS APIs (Twilio, MessageBird), native bligneser push with Service Workers, personalization, automation triggers, and comment measure ROI with Google Analytics. Think of this like a hands-on conversation — I’ll show code, exemples, and sensible defaults so you can implement this in a real store (and adapt to magefine hosting or extensions later).

Why go beyond e-mail?

Quick bullet reasons:

• SMS has a higher open rate (and immediate attention) than e-mail — great for short recovery nudges.
• Push notifications are great for logged-out visiteurs and mobile web

Hey — if you want to add clear, consistent product badges like "New", "Sale", "Low stock" or "Trending" in Magento 2 without installing a tiers extension, this post walks you through a pragmatic, étape-by-étape approche. I’ll show you comment build a small custom module (PHP/XML), comment integrate it with Magento marketing rules for automation, comment avoid performance pitfalls, and comment extend it for dynamic badges. Think of this as chatting with a colleague while pairing on the code.

Why build custom badges (and why not just install an extension)

Extensions are great, but a custom solution vous donne:

• Precise control over markup, styles and placement.
• No extra license or unpredictable updates.
• The ability to integrate tightly with your entreprise rules and indexeurs.

That said, a custom approche needs proper planning to avoid hurting performance or maintainability. Let’s do it right.

Aperçu — what we’ll build

We are going to build a compact Magento 2 module that:

Want to expose a clean, secure REST endpoint in Magento 2 so your ERP, CRM or PIM can talk to your store? In this post I’ll walk you through creating a custom point d'accès API étape-by-étape, explain the Magento 2 API architecture and bonnes pratiques, and give concrete exemples of code, authentication, and performance conseils you can use in production. I’ll keep the tone relaxed — like I’m explaining it to a colleague who’s just starting with integrations.

Why you might build a custom point d'accès API

Magento 2 already provides a lot of REST and GraphQL endpoints, but when you need specific behaviour — a tailored payload, a special entreprise rule, or an endpoint designed for an external system — a custom endpoint is the way to go. Common uses:

• ERP sync for commandes and inventaire
• Sending product data to a PIM with attributs personnalisés
• CRM hooks for client events
• Bulk endpoints with optimized payloads for nightly jobs

Why add custom product tabs in Magento 2?

Think of page produits like a conversation with your client. Tabs help you keep that conversation organized: technical specs in one place, size guides in another, and rich utilisateur manuals or avis elsewhere. Building a custom tabs module in Magento 2 vous donne control, performance and the ability to hook into attribut produits so non-développeurs can edit contenu without touching code.

What you'll build in this post

In plain terms, we'll create a small Magento 2 module that:

• Registers a new module and injects a block into the page produit layout.
• Reads a attribut produit containing JSON for tabs (so admins can edit tabs without code).
• Outputs accessible, SEO-friendly tab markup and uses a tiny JS switcher.
• Shows performance bonnes pratiques for cacheability and lazy loading.
• Explains comment package and sell this as a premium extension (with a link to a recommended entreprise model).

How to Build a Custom 'Recently Viewed Products' Module in Magento 2

Want to add a neat "Recently viewed products" box to your Magento 2 store without buying an extension? Cool — I'll walk you through a solid, production-ready approche that balances flexibility and performance. Nous allons cover the architecture (using observateurs), client vs server storage, layout and template integration, advanced personalization (limits, retention, category exclusion), and caching considerations so you won't break Full Page Cache (FPC).

What we'll build

• A small Magento 2 module that captures product views via an observateur.
• Two storage strategies: client-side (localStorage) and server-side (DB table) with a toggleable config.
• A block + template and layout XML to render a recent-products widget.
• Options for limiting number of items, retention, and excluding categories.
• AJAX-friendly rendering to keep FPC intact (best practice).

Why not just use Magento's built-in rapports?
