Organizing information on product pages into tabs is great not only for SEO and speed optimization. When you add custom product tabs in Magento you improve customer experience. 

As you might know Magento provides you with some default product tabs. They include product reviews, descriptions and attributes. While those tabs might come in handy, a lot of merchants would rather rename, or remove them.

So, in this guide, you'll find how to reorganize, rename or remove default Magento product tabs from the admin panel. No code editing is required. You'll just need the Magento 2 Product Tabs extension. 

To rename or remove default product tabs in Magento: 

1. Navigate to Stores > Configuration > Magefan Extensions > Product Tabs and find the Default Tabs section.

2. Unfold a tab you'd like to rename, reorganize or remove and go through the settings:

• Enable or disable the default tab. 
• Set a Title you want to be displayed on the frontend to rename the default product tab. 
• Specify the Position

Did you know displaying popular blog posts in sidebar is not the only way to show how popular your posts are? You can also use the views count in your Shopify Blog. 

But the best part is you don't need to customize any templates or change the code. Just enable one option Magefan Shopify Blog App offers you.

To enable views count for Shopify blog posts: 

1. Go to  Apps > Magefan Blog > Configuration > Post Page (Post View) and find the Views Count section. 

2. Enable the Calculate & Display Views Counts option and Save the settings.

After this go to any of your blog posts and check the views. They will be displayed at the top of the blog post page.

The will start being calculated once you enable the option. But as long as you keep it enabled the number will grow, showing your blog readers and visitors the popularity of your posts. 

Nevertheless, you should also explore other post view settings to make reading your posts extra engaging.

Although blog sidebar improves navigation it is not always enough to drive visitors' attention. You might want to show some information like promotional banners, links, or videos to notify your blog visitors about new products, etc. 

We've covered that as well in our Shopify Blog App. It offers you to add a custom HTML block to the blog sidebar. 

In this article corresponsingly, we'll set up a promotional banner on the blog sidebar, as an example. However, you can add any custom HTML content there.

To add a banner to Shopify Blog sidebar: 

1. Navigate to Apps > Magefan Blog > Configuration > Sidebar and find the Custom HTML Widget section.
2. Enable the widget and insert your custom HTML in the corresponding section. 
3. Set the Sort Order.

Once you Save the settings you'll see your banner in the sidebar. 

You can now add banners,

Every POS cashier creates a session once they start their shift and close it after. Each session is correspondingly linked to a certain terminal and store location. So it allows you to track sales, returns and other activity in each store through Z and X reports. 

Since many confuse these two concepts, in this guide, you'll learn everything you need to know about Z and X reports in Magento POS System. And we'll also cover the details of how you can manage them.

What is the Difference Between Z and X Reports?

The X report is a report that shows current session information, from the session opening up till the report is run.

Z reports, on the other hand, cover information on the entire session from open to close. 

Correspondingly, to check the transaction details you can print Z reports any time during the day and X reports — at the end of the day.

How to Manage Z and X Reports in Magento POS?

As we've said before, each cashier starts a session at the beginning of their shift. In the

Hello, dear friends, 

Today we want to share the latest news, updates and improvements we’ve been working on this May. 

It was quite a productive month. Our team worked hard and added lots of new features and improvements you will definitely love.

Let's start!

Magento 2 SEO Extension

New features of the Magento 2 SEO Extension!

In the latest version, we have added a new amazing feature for better SEO optimization. Now SEO extension allows you to create and apply SEO rules (templates) to products and categories. Once you create the SEO rules, you can preview the products with the applied templates. Also, we added an option not to remove the existing metadata.

For your convenience, you can use the list of available attributes and edit inline. In the last version, we also improved the crosslinks processor and improved PHP 8.2 compatibility. We added a migration script that creates SEO rules based on config data (Store -> Config section). We also added a cron job that applies SEO rules.

Though a POS system usually offers you plenty of features and flexible functionality, it doesn't fit every possible scenario in your store. Some errors might happen, a cashier can't find a product in the system, or items are simply not added to the POS system yet. But customers are getting impatient at checkout. 

How do you get out of this situation? 

The answer is custom products or custom sales. This feature helps you to create new products right at the checkout, so it goes smoothly. Today, you'll learn what are custom products in POS, why you need them and how to create some using Magento POS System.  

What are POS custom products? 

Custom products in POS are products that don't fit into any existing item in your POS system. These products have customized titles and prices, and are created directly at the checkout if cashiers can't find any products that fit the requirement. 

Custom products or sales help cashiers to close sales smoothly and sort things out with a missing item

Although processing orders in Magento 2 is quite easy, as a store manager you should be ready for any unexpected situations. Fixing typos, removing items from an order or editing the billing address — is a small part of what you have to handle before an order is shipped.

Even then, you might still need to edit the shipping address or shipping rates. Unfortunately, Magento is limited in this regard and you can't change much without cancelling the order. But not if you have the Magento 2 Order Editor.

So, today you'll learn how to edit shipping rates in Magento order before shipping. 

To edit shipping rates in Magento orders: 

1. Navigate to Sales > Orders and find an order you'd like to change the shipping rates for. 

2. Scroll down to the Shipping&Handling Information section and click Edit.

3. Change the Shipping Method if necessary.

4. Set Custom Shipping Rate for the order and click Save. 

Once you save the changes you'll be able to see the shipping&handling price change in order
