Although related products in Magento 2 require manual management, you don't have to worry about it with the Auto Related Products Extension for Magento 2. It allows you to automate the process and create related product rules based on multiple products and cart attributes. 

All you need to do is set when where and under what condition to display related products. However, you also don't have to create multiple rules from scratch since the module allows you to duplicate related product rules.

To duplicate related product rules in Magento:

1. Navigate to Marketing > Automatic Related Products > Rules and choose the rule you want to copy the conditions from.

2. Press Duplicate on the top menu panel. 

Duplicated related product rules will be disabled by default and have the corresponding label added to the title. So, all you have to do after that is tweak the rule settings, rename it, enable and save. 

This feature allows you to configure similar rules for multiple pages in a matter of minutes.

Customers are not always ready to buy your products immediately while shopping. Usually, they need more time to make up their minds and consider all pros and cons of a certain item. And while you can configure recently viewed/compared products, Magento wishlist will benefit your more.

A wishlist is an essential feature that allows customers to have their preferred items gathered in one place and buy them during the next visit to your website.

Additionally, they can share their wishlist with friends. This allows you to reach more customers and increase the demand for your products.

So, today we'll cover everything you need to know about Magento 2 wishlist feature and how you can benefit from it.

Once you know how to get URLs in Magento 2, you might also need to learn how to get the current category in Magento 2. Regardless if you want to provide discounts based on category or simply retrieve all category information, this guide will come in handy. 

Get current category in Magento 2 in PHP class

<?php

namespace Vendor\Module\Folder;

class Example 
{
    private $registry;

    public function __construct(Magento\Framework\Registry $registry)
    {
        $this->registry = $registry;
    }

    public function getCurrentCategory()
    {
        return $this->registry->registry('current_category');
    }
}

Get current category in Magento 2 via Object Manager

<?php
$currentCategory = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()
    ->get(\Magento\Framework\Registry::class)
    ->registry('current_category');

echo $currentCategory->getId();
echo $currentCategory->getName();

Customer support is extremely important if you want to keep your customer experience levels high. So, if you want to be able to log in to customer accounts outside your Shopify store admin (like your CRM, helpdesk, etc.), you can do this using the Shopify Login as Customer API keys. 

To get the public and secret keys required for this, you need to: 

1. Find the Login as Customer app in your store Shopify admin and go to the API Keys at the top right corner of the customers' list.

2. Copy your Public Key. 

3. Generate new Secret Key if you need. 

Now that you have your Shopify Login as Customer API keys, you can use them to extend the CRM or helpdesk you want to be able to log in to customer accounts from.

Assist customers faster, logging into their accounts without a password with a handy Login as Customer App.

Efficiency is key when inventory management is concerned. If you manage Magento MSI you have multiple sources to keep track of and add products to correspondingly. While you can update product Qty per Source on the product editing page, sometimes it takes too much time. 

So in this guide, you'll learn how to optimize the process and edit Qty per Source in bulk. Magento 2 Extended Product Grid & Mass Action extension makes it possible. 

Update Magento Quantity per Source via Grid

1. Navigate to Catalog > Products and select the products you'd like to change the Quantity per Source for. 

2. Choose the Update attributes option from the Mass actions dropdown.

3. Go to Quantity (by Magefan) and specify Quantity per source value for one or multiple sources.

Once you Save the changes you'll see the Quantity per source values updated, as well as the stocks. 

Update Magento Quantity per Source via Mass Actions

The other way you can update quantity per source in bulk is through mass actions.

Customer support is improved significantly with the Shopify Login as Customer App since you can assist customers in placing orders and fixing account-related issues timely. But that's not it.

Shopify store admin is not the only place where you can log in to your customers' accounts from. You can also log in to customer accounts from your CRM or helpdesk, etc. (if they allow you to extend them and run requests to custom API that comes with our app).

But even this is not the only thing custom API allows you to do. 

Today we'll consider different scenarios. 

Log in to Customer Accounts

You can log in to customer accounts using API in 2 different ways. 

Log in As a Customer using the Customer ID

<?php
    $publicKey = '****************';
    $secretKey = '***********************************';

    $shop = '**********'; // for example 'myshop.myshopify.com';
    $customer = '**********'; //for example 123456789;
?>

Magento 2 Multi Source Inventory is a useful feature that's been released with Magento 2.3. You can not only create Magento sources and add them to stocks but also track the salable quantity and manage the number of products available for purchase.

But what is the salable quantity and how does it differ from the quantity per source? These two terms may seem a little bit confusing, but in this article, we'll explore these questions and clear everything out.

What is Salable Quantity in Magento 2?

What you can do to finally login to customer account in Shopify? 

There are 2 options you have here:

During the initial setup, you see a Default stock which your sources and websites are assigned to by default. You cannot disable or delete it, while it is in the Single

The first thing you face once managing Magento 2 multi-language store, is translating all of your content and landing pages. It helps to make your website convenient for each of your targeted customers. 

The content you create and publish on the frontend is not the only content you need to translate. That's why you have to generate a translation dictionary to form a list of texts to translate in email templates, third-party extensions, JS files, and so on. 

Although our Magento 2 Translation Plus module helps you to manage and generate that translation dictionary, you may still face the Magento "Missed phrase" error. 

It mainly appears when you try to generate a translation dictionary when running the following command:

bin/magento i18n:collect-phrases --magento

Most often, the "Missed phrase" error is caused by the third-party extensions when the system tries to translate an empty string like __('').

JS bundling is a required optimization that allows you to speed up your Magento store by reducing the number of server requests for JS files. Magento JS bundles are formed by merging multiple JavaScript files into one file. Correspondingly, instead of downloading hundreds of JS files for each page, the browser downloads just a few JS bundles. 

But there is one thing.

By default Magento creates huge JS bundle files, each around 5-10 Mb on average. Regarding this, website speed won't actually improve, but quite the opposite.

In this article, you'll go through Magento JS bundle optimization step-by-step with an easy Rocket Javascript solution so you can benefit from JS bundling and better website speed.

Before we jump to the optimization let's define once more what is JS bundling in Magento 2.
