Why Do You Need "Who Bought This Also Bought That" Block?

Imagine a customer who comes to your website to purchase the Fitness Training Course. They finalize the order and leave your website feeling like they've got everything they need. But once they start training they see that some of the gear is missing. 

So, they start looking for it and don't necessarily land on your website. 

What if

If you want to sell globally and manage a multi-language Magento website, be ready to do a lot of translation, depending on the number of languages you want to translate your website to. 

Magento is very flexible with translations since it provides you with the Translate Inline Tool out-of-the-box. However, translating long-form content requires a lot of manual work. 

Not very time-effective, is it?

Luckily there is Crowdin that allows you to streamline the translations workflow, and modify and deploy translations online automatically. 

The only thing left is to get all your content synced with Crowdin so you can add translations in real-time. 

That's what our Magento 2 Crowdin Integration Extension is here for and in this article, you'll learn how you can configure it.

General Configuration

Once you install the Crowdin Integration module, you need to Enable it. For that just go to Stores > Configuration > Magefan Extensions > Crowdin Integration > General.

Thank you page on your website leaves an impression and nurtures customers who've already trusted you. That's why it is one of the most important pages in the checkout journey in your store.

Correspondingly, it's important to optimize it to increase customer engagement and ROI. The best way to achieve this is through the Magento CMS or content blocks which could lead anywhere from blog to catalog and customer account.

Today you'll learn how to add a custom block to Checkout Success Page in Magento 2. And we'll also share how to show this block under different conditions. So stick around for more details. 

Have we mentioned it doesn't include any coding?

Let's start adding a custom block to thank you page in Magento.

Most guides on how to add custom blocks to the checkout success page will lead you through complex development instructions. While you can manage to do this with a simple Magento admin config.

1. Create CMS Block

CMS blocks or static blocks are the easiest way to manipulate

Have you been in a situation where you had to remove some products from the order or change the size and color? Unfortunately, such things happen in eCommerce all the time. But while you can't control what customers might need to change in the order, you can optimize the process and edit orders more effectively.

So, one of the first questions you might ask when processing Magento orders is "Can I add or remove items from a Magento order?".

Sadly, the answer is not positive unless you know some coding or have access to the database to update order items programmatically.

For those of you who want to update or delete order items in the Magento 2 admin panel, there is a solution — Magento 2 Edit Order Extension. And today you'll learn how it works to update order items in seconds.

To update or delete order items in Magento 2:

1. Navigate to Sales > Orders and find the order you want to edit.

2. Scroll down to the Items Ordered section and press Edit.

3. Magefan Order Editor allows you to

As one of the most important processes in your store, order management plays a vital role in both customers and admin's experience. If it is not time-effective and convenient for both parties, it's a missed opportunity.  

To optimize the process you have to edit orders without cancel and extend the order grid field. However, by default, you have to cancel an order and create a new one every time you need to edit a customer name, order status, payment method or ordered items, etc. 

It increases the workload for the admins and makes processing orders in Magento quite ineffective. 

So, in this comprehensive guide, you'll learn how to edit orders without cancel in Magento with the Magento 2 Order Editor.

How to Edit Orders Without Cancel?

Editing order in Magento requires redundant steps which are not enough for optimal order management. You can't edit any of the order details without canceling the order and creating a new one.

However, there is no need to call out for developers or learn

If you need to get current URL in Magento 2 PHTML file the easiest way to do this is to use the following code:

$currentUrl = $block->getUrl('*/*/*', ['_current' => true, '_use_rewrite' => true]);

This is the best method since you don't even need to use the Object Manager.

The same code works for block PHP classes as well. But you need to replace $block with $this.

Example:

$currentUrl = $this->getUrl('*/*/*', ['_current' => true, '_use_rewrite' => true]);

But...

The Best Way to Get Current URL in Magento 2

The best way is to use UrlInterface.

Example:

$urlInterface = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()
    ->get(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::class);
$currentUrl = $urlInterface->getCurrentUrl();

Using the object manager directly is not recommended, so you need to include UrlInterface dependence in your class constructor to be able to use it.

Example:

private $urlInterface;

public function __construct(
...
\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface $urlInterface
...
) {
$this->urlInterface

If you want to change the order number in Magento 2 you must have a valid reason for it. Unfortunately, Magento doesn't allow you to add any prefixes, suffixes, or custom characters to your order numbers which would make them easier to recognize. 

By default, order numbers have 9 digits. It is not very convenient since it doesn't tell much about the order and doesn't allow to process orders fast enough.

Whether you want to add a store code, year, or any other custom character to your order number, you have to customize them.

The easier way to do this is with the Magento 2 Edit Order Extension. So, today we'll cover how to change order numbers in Magento with just a few clicks.

To change the order number in Magento 2: 

1. Navigate to Sales > Orders and find the order you'd like to edit the order number for.

2. Edit Order and Account Information.

3. Change Order Number in Magento 2 by removing redundant characters, adding the store identifiers, year, or other prefixes or suffixes that

Magento 2 Order Editor

New Magento 2 Order Edit Extension!

Order management is one of the most essential processes in your Magento 2 store. It directly influences customers' experience and their desire to return and purchase from you repeatedly.

Sometimes customers want to change the shipping address or remove some products they added to the order accidentally. Here's when Edit Order Extension takes the stage to help you process customers' requests faster and keep the order data organized. 

You can edit all of the order details: status, number, website, customer, shipping&biling addresses, payment methods, and ordered items. 

The module tracks all of the changes and offers a Quick Order Edit feature, so you can conveniently edit orders without canceling them.

Generating new content for your blog constantly allows you to keep visitors engaged and rank for more keywords in search. It is a vital strategy if you want to drive more people to your store and increase revenue correspondingly. 

However, sometimes you just don't have enough time to create and post all of the content. To keep up with the schedule you have to log in to your admin panel and enable the blog posts you want to publish. 

Today we'll fix that.

If you've created and edited some of the posts beforehand, you can schedule the publication, and our Magento 2 Blog will publish them automatically. 

To schedule blog posts in Magento:

1. Navigate to Content > Blog > Posts and go to the blog post you'd like to schedule.

2. Scroll down to the Display Setting, find the Publish Date, and set the future date when you need a blog post to go live.
