Magento Extensions

NEW OpenAI Ads Extension
v2.0.3

OpenAI Ads are still new and finding their footing, but many merchants are already giving them a try. Just like with any other tracking channel, you have to base your ads on accurate data to leverage your campaigns and see results.

The Magefan OpenAI Ads Conversion Tracking extension helps you integrate OpenAI tracking pixels and Conversion API with no coding involved. A few simple admin panel settings allow you to connect your Magento 2 store with the OpenAI Ads Manager to measure conversions.

Shopify Apps

NEW Better Blog Builder & Editor

Default Shopify Blog offers basic features for managing a blog. Yet, it lacks more advanced tools to create an engaging reading experience.

Better Blog Builder & Editor addresses this challenge. It allows you to add new elements to the existing posts and blogs without having to import your data. With the homepage, related posts and products, navigation sidebar, and other blocks, it turns your posts into powerful marketing instruments.

  • Improve the default Shopify Blog without data migration.
  • Add related posts and products, reading time, previous/next post buttons, etc.
  • Enable a homepage and a sidebar for better navigation.
  • Manage all new elements inside your theme editor and more...

NEW Blog Import App

Shopify provides merchants with a great opportunity to manage their stores and blog on the same platform. While this is certainly convenient, they may already run blogs elsewhere, and moving them over to Shopify becomes quite a struggle.

With the Magefan Blog Import App, though, this is a matter of a few clicks. The app provides tools for WordPress, Magento, and CSV file import, and allows you to transfer your posts, categories, images, authors, and tags without losing any crucial data.

  • Import your blog from WordPress, Magento, or a CSV file.
  • Keep the original formatting without redoing it manually.
  • Map import fields to ensure your data is attributed correctly.
  • Manage the imported posts inside the default Shopify editor and more...

Login as Customer
 

Improvements:

  • Improved the login code receiving mechanism to log in to customer accounts.
