As one of the best eCommerce platforms, Magento has a very elaborate functionality for managing product prices. While you can set the base price and special prices, they can vary depending on different conditions. Customer group, purchased quantity and cart total are just a tiny part of the calculation logic.
Today we'll break down the Magento 2 product pricing for you. From the basics and currencies to the advanced cart price rules and more.
We've got a lot to cover. So let's get right to it.
The Basics
By default, prices are shared globally on your Magento instance. It means that if you have multiple stores (websites) the same price is displayed in all of them. To change that navigate to Stores > Configuration > Catalog > Catalog > Price and change the Catalog Price Scope to Website.
Then, you need to go to the General section > Currency Setup > Currency Options. Switch the store and set the Default Display Currency for each website.
Note: switching to a Website doesn't mean you

Shopify is quite a straightforward platform with an intuitive interface and easy-to-manage tools. But before you get to setting up your store there is one more step to take. You need to log in to the Shopify admin panel, of course.
Sounds like an easy job, but it may be a bit tricky for those new to Shopify. Why? Because the login process depends on your role. Thus, the procedures are different for logging as developers and partners. And then you might also need to log into your customers' accounts.
But don't worry, we've got you covered. In this guide, you'll learn all the necessary details about Shopify login.
Developer Login
To manage your orders, customers, products, and store in general you need to log into Shopify as a developer or administrator, in other words. Shopify allows you to log in either via browser or mobile app.
To log in to Shopify from a browser:
1. Navigate to the Shopify login page and go to Your store.
2. Enter your email and press the Continue with Email button.

General

CAPTCHA is an effective tool that helps you prevent spam or any malicious actions in your store. Besides, having an additional security layer is always a smart idea.
However, when working with CAPTCHA, you may get the "Incorrect CAPTCHA" error. Although not critical, this error still interrupts the usual workflow, which influences customers' experience.
Thus, today you'll explore what the "Incorrect CAPTCHA" error message is about, and how to fix and avoid it in the future. Those of you using Magento will find the tips on how to avoid the "Incorrect CAPTCHA" error but still maintain high Magento security.
So, let's get to the point!
"Incorrect CAPTCHA" Error: Reasons and Solutions
The "Incorrect CAPTCHA" error is quite common. So there could be numerous causes. From IP restrictions to invasive extensions, there is a lot for you to untangle. It's easier to do so when you at least know what to look for.

Magento operates huge loads of information related to categories, products, prices, search results, etc. As you know, all this info is organized in separate tables so the needed details can be fetched promptly.
That's when Magento 2 reindex comes into play. It's a crucial process that keeps all the data relevant and helps to manage your store effectively both on the frontend and backend. Thus, the more you know about reindex in Magento the better.
In this guide, you'll learn what Magento reindex is, how to run it, how to fix reindex-related errors if any, and more. So, let's get to the point.
What is Magento 2 Reindex?
Magento 2 utilizes indexers to organize all the data it works with. Each data type has its indexer which in turn is responsible for the corresponding index table.
Therefore, there are separate index tables for prices, search terms, and products, to name a few. This way, when the request is sent, Magento fetches the data from these separate tables instead of the main table.
Managing a multi-language Shopify store requires a lot of translating. Size charts are not an exception, especially if you sell apparel. To provide the best experience across all languages, you need to translate size charts in Shopify too.
The Shopify Size Chart App from Magefan offers you that opportunity. So in this guide, you'll learn how to localize size charts in your store.
To translate size charts in Shopify:
1. Navigate to App > Magefan Size Chart > Size Charts and go to the size chart you'd like to translate.

But then there's a question of how to apply size charts to Shopify products. So, that's what we'll cover in this guide. The process comes down to a few clicks, literally.
Before we dive into the Shopify size chart rules, let's review Shopify product attributes. Each product has a Type and Vendor, belongs to a certain Collection and is marked with some specific Tags.
That's what makes one product different from the other. And that's what we'll work with.
Apply Size Charts to All Shopify Products
Once you create a size chart in Shopify, you land with the following rules filter:
Although the "Product must match all conditions" filter is set, the size chart will be assigned to all products in your store. So, leave it as is if you want to have one size chart for all products.
However, if you have different size
Website speed is not something one can optimize once, and benefit from ever after. You continuously have to improve the loading speed, especially when working with Magento 2 and eCommerce in general.
