Magento Commerce goes Mobile

15 Jun

I’ve long waited for the day when people would start to use mobile commerce in their businesses.  With people using more and more smart phones in everyday life it was only a matter of time until someone developed the architecture for the next wave of business… m-commerce.  M-Commerce or “Mobile commerce” as it’s known is the ability to buy and sell products and services using mobile devices like PDAs, smart phones and mobile (cell) phones.

Recently, Magento Commerce said that it now has the ability to commerce through mobile devices.  This feature has not been released to all users just yet but it’s only a matter of time.  So what does this mean to the average business owner?

  • A new way to conduct your business
  • The ability to reach more customers in a new way

So what does Magento Mobile have to offer you and your business?  Here is a list of features about the latest mobile commerce offering from Magento Commerce:

  • Integration with PayPal Mobile – Naturally if you are going to offer a mobile commerce solution you are going to need a payment gateway that is capable of processing payments made on mobile devices which is where PayPal Mobile comes into play with its processing power.
  • It’s Completely Customizable – That’s right!  You can customize your mobile commerce website as you see fit!
  • The Total Cost of Ownership is low – Ultimately a solution that is truly best should cost a small fortune and the total cost of ownership is something that Magento has focused on in releasing this mobile commerce solution to the masses
  • Manage Multiple Devices – In order for Magento Mobile to be successful in helping you grow your business you need the mobile website to work on many different types of mobile phones, PDAs and smart phones and Magento Mobile allows you to do this with a growing list of supported mobile devices under its belt.
  • And more…

So if you are interested in adding a new sales channel to your existing business or you want a way to sell through mobile devices then Magento Mobile might just be able to help you out with this!  Oh yeah, checkout this screenshot of how it looks on a iPod or iPhone.

SilverThemes just built another great premium Magento theme for your ecommerce store with your customers and future customers in mind. The overall design of the theme is built to allow the user to quickly and accurately find what they are looking for and it does it very well. I had a look through the demo and some of the things that caught my eye were the fact that the customer login, the search menu is visible and easy to use, the layout of the item list allows you to quickly see and sort a number of products by price, name and position, you can even choose the number of items that you want to see on a single page of a category and all this and more does one amazing thing. It gives your customers the ability to search and find any item quickly and accurately which will earn you a lot of respect and sales from your customers. Not to mention that this template is pretty easy to customize to your businesses needs.

Some of the features that this theme has are…

  1. The ability to add items to a wish list
  2. Support for 4 and 5 column pages
  3. Easy to modify to suite your client’s needs
  4. Scalable for larger stores
  5. Works with all major browsers

Have a look at the product pages you’ll see in the TubeTheme from SilverThemes…
