The flexibility of Magento is one of the most appealing factors for businesses looking to adopt the platform. Not only does it come with a lot of functionality out of the box, but it also allows businesses to augment that functionality to meet their very specific business needs. One way businesses are able to do this is by adding modules to their Magento store. With the release of Magento 2, the ability to add modules remains and has, in my opinion, been improved. In this post we will discuss what modules are, the benefits of adding them to your store, and some things to consider when adding modules to your Magento store.

What are Configurable Swatches? Configurable Swatches are a Magento feature that allow merchants to visually display the various options available for a configurable product. These options may be things such as colors or sizes. Instead of choosing a color from a drop-down list, customers are able to make their selection by clicking a swatch. Swatches allow for a more appealing and informative way of presenting merchandise, and Magento allows these to be used on product pages, category pages, and in layered navigation. Prior to Magento version 1.9, the swatch feature was not available by default in Magento and those seeking this functionality would need to install a module.

Getting started with Magento need not be as difficult as you may imagine. In this post, we discuss the steps you could take on the path to getting a successful Magento store up and running without it having to cost a fortune.
