Dear Magefan customers, It's been a month since all world faced a terror later sworn to not happen again — War!  It's been a month since all Ukrainians woke up in a new reality where air raid sirens go off several times a day bringing uncertainty and fear of being bombed.  It's been a month during which hiding in bomb shelters and basements became more often than walking outside. The unprovoked aggression towards our country justified by a dictatorship maniac takes the lives of innocent people.  Though there is plenty of information around, we'd like to share our thoughts and feeling about these horrifying days Ukrainians are defending the world's right to freedom and peace.  How Did Ukraine Change? Everything changed when russian "peacekeepers" came to "save" the Ukrainian nation from imaginary nazis and fascists. And they did succeed, if we can call it so, in "saving" us from a steady supply of essential items like water, food and medicine, cosy homes, beautiful squares, parksihor

UPD: "As of the morning of February 22, 2024, 528 children were killed and 1226 injured in Ukraine as a result of full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine according to Children of War Governmental portal, " - Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office. The Russian troops have already killed more than 100 Ukrainian kids. Tanya, who was at the age of 6 died or dehydration under the rubble of her house. Alice from Okhtyrka, she was 7, was killed during the shelling of the kindergarten from Grad rockets. Sofia, from Nova Kahovka, who was 6, was shot with her family.  How many more children have to die? How many more children have to be born in the bomb shelters? How many more days do mothers have to fall asleep in fear that their children might not wake up tomorrow? These murders are crimes against humanity. They kill our future — our children. Stop killing Ukrainian children! Stop this war!

Dear Magefan customers, First of all, we want to say “Thank you!” for such strong support you have shown in your emails. This is very important for us in the darkest times our country has seen since WW2. Many of you asked how to help. So we decided to write a few things you might do to help the Ukrainian people in this war, where a peaceful country should defend its citizens from russian invasion. What can you do to help us stand and keep our lives? 1. Donate to a non-governmental charity fund “Come back alive” that has been supporting our soldiers for 8 years (from the beginning of the Russian invasion in 2014)’ 2. Donate to UNITED24, a global initiative to support Ukraine launched by the Ukrainian authorities.  [When our colleague Elena started writing the previous sentence, there was an air raid siren in Ternopil, it was 23:00. She took her sleeping child and ran to the basement. And during the last 5 days there have been dozens of such alarms and in every city of our country, andihor

Hello, Magento fans! Since Magento is our favourite eCommerce platform and we all eagerly waited for Magento 2.4.0 release we are happy to bring the great news. A Little Background Our Extension made a great impact on Magento community. It's a valuable contribution to any Magento 2 store. That's why Magento got interested in adding it to Magento 2.4.0 core. So, in the fall of 2019, Adobe Systems Incorporated, which owns the Magento platform, contacted us with an offer. Of course, we couldn't refuse, because Magefan are Magento fans. Instead of writing new code from scratch, Magento asked about the integration, which we definitely supported. Thus, we transferred the copyright for the "Login as Customer" extension to Adobe. Then in early 2020, we worked with the Magento Community Engineering Team on integrating our module into the Magento core. The module came out with code improvements and some new features.  What's New in Login as Customer? Now Magefan Login as Customer extension isihor
