Hi, Magefan customers. Welcome to the digest of May 2025 news and updates!

During this month, we've been working hard to improve our Magento 2 extensions and Shopify Apps, as well as to introduce new features and solutions.

It's about time we shared them with you!


Magento Extensions

Following the Magento 2.4.8 release, we dedicated our best efforts to ensure compatibility of our solutions with the latest Magento updates. Correspondigly, all Magento 2 extensions are now compatible with Magento 2.4.8 and PHP 8.4.

However, this is hardly the only aspect we have been working on. So, let's review other updates we introduced this month.

NEW Size Chart Extension
v2.0.1

Wrong sized items are one of the most common reasons for returns. Moreover, if customers cannot determine the right size when reviewing your catalog, they may not even proceed with the purchase.

You can avoid this hassle by creating dynamic size charts with our Magento 2 Size Chart extension

  • Use 4 pre-set size charts.
  • Create your own unlimited size charts from scratch.
  • Customize the charts to match your store's design.
  • Display size charts using handy conditions.
  • Show size charts in a tab or a popup and more...

Don't leave your customers guessing. Let them make confident decisions with comprehensive size charts!
