I've tried useproof, but it doesn't show real customers info, only imaginary ones.
I would like have proof or similar extension for magento 2 site, anybody heard about free or paid extensions without any pixel?
Have you tried usetrigger.com?
They offer a very similar functionality but it was built for Magento 2 with e-commerce in mind. Lots of cool triggers you can use to promote products and increase overall order total.
I hope this helps.

I'm currently running a Magento Store in Version 2.2.3
I am need of a POS extension that can operate online and offline for when i take physical offline sales in a shop or at an external event.
After trying 3-4 POS extensions already, I have just installed Webkul POS for a few different reasons. It's a one time payment which is very important. It's got a very easy to understand interface and it syncs sales to keep my stock correct when it's connected to my Wifi, but it can also work offsite and store offline orders to be synced when it reconnects to wifi.
However, despite being cheap and easy to use, it's also horribly riddled with bugs and shortcomings. As below:
Offline sales don't sync when the system goes back online
Doesn't work on Safari
Can't show Configurable products
No way for it to process disabled products through the checkout
Crashes fairly regularly
No way to delete unsynced orders (which happens to be all
offline orders)
some other technical bugs which i have reported to their support system.
So without spending crazy money, is there actually any POS extensions which people have found to work well?
So one year on with Webkul POS and I thought I would post an update.
Webkul support worked on and fixed approximately 25 - 30 bugs in the software and despite being a little slow it worked for the most part. Their support team was very helpful in fixed multiple issues.
Whilst planning an upgrade on Magento 2 I asked the webkul support team if their latest version included the multitude of fixes which were completed on my build and if it was compatible with the latest verion of magento and php. Without hesitation, i was told, yes everything will work and they arranged a download of the latest version which we got and installed into our newly upgraded magento 2.3.3
Back to square 1.
All bugs returned and extension was unusable. It simply didn't work. After support refused to look at the issues I paid for extended support and they started to fix bugs. After some bug fixes and getting our heads around the magento Multi Source Inventory, we have got the pos to work or at least function enough to use it.
So here's my current issue. Webkul POS requires it's own source for stock (not sure why it can't use the default one) so now I have my default source which the website uses, and another source or stock qty table that the POS software uses and the 2 stock numbers are completely independent and do not sync.
This means if I sell an item in my shop using POS, my website stock does not update and it is still possible for people online to buy an item that I may be sold out of. This is until I manually adjust the stock.
Therefore in my eyes, the POS extension is totally pointless.
Does anyone else have the latest magento and had the same issue with any other POS systems? I think the MSI in the new magento seems to be causing some similar stock control problems. I can't really justify a monthly payment style POS extension because this experience has made me question if any of them work properly in the latest version of M2.
I may be a bit late to this post, but I know exactly what you mean about Webkul POS. Disappointing and just confusing to use tbh.
Sad truth is if you're not willing to pay for the good stuff, you'll get what you pay for. One-time payment for Webkul is all well and good, but it's got the usability and functions corresponding to that. If you want to experience the really good stuff, you've got to pay for it.
I know people who have had success with Connect POS - https://www.connectpos.com/magento-pos/ - and there's no extra hidden fees that surprise you down the line. A pretty powerful extension in my view cos it's got AI and PWA capabilities. The best option for Magento 2 imho.
Has anyone got any experience with Lightspeed POS? It's currently looking like a front runner to become a webkul replacement for us. I can't really fine too many reviews or any information from any users. We're moving to a new store soon and need something a little bit slicker at a reasonable cost.
I am new to both Magento and Prestashop. I have no clue upto what point I can customize on each platform. So, before I decide, I want your feedbacks on to which direction to go towards. Listed below are the feature I need in the ecommerce site I am going to develop:
Product Type:
Wedding cards and other greeting cards, some cards might have two sides, so the user might need to fill in the text for both cards prior to adding it to the shopping cart.
Features:
Each card will have unlimited options, e.g Changing colors of some
aspects of the card, so the user can see the differences. Each one is
different image, so when the admin adds a product, they need to
upload those variations.
Needs to attach some products to be a
suggestion, e.g when you order a wedding card, we suggest them to get
Place cards and etc.
On a custom card, the user can upload their
photo, and then can add the necessary text they want to appear, then process the order.
The following is almost as to what I am looking for: http://www.betsywhite.com/arya-wedding-invitation-5586-prd1.htm [Click on the play with pallettes to see the changing color in action]
Those are just some of the features that I think are very unusual for a standard E-Commerce site. Can I do those features with Magento and/or Prestashop or I need to build a custom solution?
You can make those features with Prestashop and Magento. But no matter which one you chose, you'll have to personalize/modify your shop to get those features to work.
Prestashop is easier to use and to learn and it is faster because it is slim compared to Magento. On the other hand Magento is even more customizable but it is much harder to learn and getting used to it.
I would give you the advice to install test-versions of both shop-systems and try them yourself. So you'll see which is the better choice for your skills, your needs and your products.
I had to make this choice some months ago for myself. After some testing I chose Presthop and I do not regret my choice. But everbody has to make this choice for himself ;).
Installation and customization are two important considerations during the purchasing decision, especially if the goal is to get the e-commerce site up and running as quickly as possible. These characteristics of Prestashop are better than Magento. While Magento is more customizable, therefore resulting in longer set up and installation times, Prestashop makes a trade-off by having fewer “out of the box ready” features available.
One of the key features of an e-commerce software package is its ability to maximize Search Engine Optimization (SEO) capabilities. Magento has distanced itself from all of its software competitors in constructing the best SEO features of any e-commerce platform.
The support/community of Magento is a little better in my opinion. A lot of the times you get no response on the Prestashop forums and you are left to find a way for yourself. I have worked with both. I would pick the one you are more comfortable with.
Just my 2 cents.
Okay maybe I am just not using the right search terms but I cannot seem to find anything online anywhere.
Essentially I am trying to build a pricing tool for work. This pricing tool needs to have the ability to take into account discount codes and bundle pricings.
I need to build it in a way that I can have an admin section where I could enter in the discount code and the value of that discount code along with what products that discount code is used for.
I don't expect anyone to tell me how to do this I am a big boy and can read and research it but I am having an issue just getting started. If anyone out there knows of any decent articles online how to do some basic design for this sort of thing please direct me there. From there I can figure the rest out.
Oh by the way I plan on using C# ASP.NET MVC 3
I would take a look at some prevalent ecommmerce sites (nopcommerce springs to mind). They all have admin sections and any decent ecommerce site will support coupons and discounts per product. You may even be able to borrow some (open source) code...
Im looking at switching to Magento for a project im going to start.
I was wondering if i could get a bit of advice regarding the Multi-Store implementation.
Does this allow seperate admin users for each store?
Would you recommend this implementation for a small hosted ecommerce application?
Cheers,
Warning - as I'm sure you know, don't start a project with Magento unless you are willing to put a lot of time into it.
That said, to my knowledge the Multistore setup allows one to run multiple stores with the same administration section. You should be able to create multiple admin users - but restricting them to a store isn't available in normal old community edition. It might be available in one of the pay editions.
That said, this extension may do the trick for you: http://www.aitoc.com/en/magentomods_advanced_permissions.html. Note: I've never personally tried this extension and so cannot vouch for it.
Edit
I realized that I never answered your second question.
Though Magento is a very powerful platform with a lot of features, I would not recommend using it for a small hosted ecommerce application. For a small hosted ecommerce store I would consider running Wordpress with the WP-E-Commerce plugin. Wordpress is great for managing website content - and WP-E-Commerce has a lot of features and is consistently being developed and improved upon.
If you are going to go with Magento then I would reccomend using Nexcess hosting. They specialize in hosting Magento and their Magento plans are already optimized for running Magento websites.
enterprise (and maybe professional) edition has the feature you are talking about, separating admin users by store. If you need to restrict that in admin level with community edition you can set up multiple software versions from same development branch with different databases (git is awesome on version tool for that). Lots of different ways to do so if Enterprise is out of reach
regarding of performance i guess you will need a powerful VPS or dedicated machine if you are serious about it and as the traffic grows you then should think about load balancing. Look for magento dedicated host companies for that and it won't run in $5 or $20 per month hosts
You asked:
Does Magento allow seperate admin users
for each store?
The free version (Community version) of Magento doesn't have this feature. There will be a single admin.
But the admin can create user and roles. So, some users can be assigned only to product and category addition page. And some users can only be assigned to Sales part.
Separate admin for each store: This feature is present in Enterprise version of Magento but its cost is too high. At present, it Starts at $12,990 USD/yr
In my opinion, using or not using Magento depends upon the functionality you are searching for your shop.
If you need lots of features and functionalities for your Shop then go for Magento.
If you just want general functions like displaying product, adding to cart, and checkout (that's all), then you may search for any other open source shopping cart.
You may try Oscommerce. I have not used it much but I think there is a Oscommerce module for multi admin login for each store.
I was just reading about Magento, a free framework for easily creating an ecommerce site. I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar, easy to use framework that is designed specifically for social networking sites.
Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
I've seen a few people mention MonoX (based on ASP.Net), but I've not had a chance to evaluate it yet myself: http://www.mono-software.com/Pages/MonoX-ASP.NET-Portal-Framework.aspx
Ning.
Edit. The Ning business model is, they host your community for free and they get the revenue from adverts on the site. If you want to host it yourself you can, but you need to license the software.
Edit 2 I recommended Ning because I participate in a community hosted there. A minute's Googling through Elgg which seems to be more what you're looking for, but I haven't had an direct experience of it.
Laconi.ca (micro-blogging - which could be considered a subset of social networking). It's an open source option on which you could base a project (plugins have already been developed).
You could try something like JomSocial, which is built on top of Joomla.
Having just looked at this question again, you might find that Drupal is pretty useful in building a social networking site too.
We have recently built a private social network for a client, based on Drupal, and lots of the functionality is a pretty good match, particularly if you include modules such as User Relationships and Organic Groups.
I hope that helps!
