What Is Magento?<\/h3>\n<p>Released in 2008, <strong>Magento is an open-source eCommerce platform written in PHP<\/strong>. One can say it's pretty similar to a digital toolbox with pre-built components specifically designed to create online stores.<br \/>\nAs of our writing, there are three versions of Magento:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Magento Open Source (formerly Community Edition):<\/strong> This free version offers high levels of customizability through extensions and development. You can tailor the platform freely to your specific needs, although it requires more technical expertise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adobe Commerce:<\/strong> On the other hand, Adobe Commerce is the paid version owned by Adobe, which requires a paid license that covers software licenses and basic support. Though it still provides customization options, the core functionality is more set in stone than the open-source version. To know more about how it works, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/adobe-commerce-cloud-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adobe Commerce review<\/a> here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Watch our latest breakdown on Magento Open Source below based on 300K+ migrations:<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v97dHmzooYE?si=VeELcokkNjGuHVVB\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>2. Why to Use<\/h3>\n<p>If you're looking for a platform that can grow with your business, Magento is a strong contender, thanks to the following highlights:<\/p>\n<h4>Great Scalability<\/h4>\n<p>First of all, Magento site development can handle a huge range of business sizes, from startups with a handful of products to large enterprises with massive catalogs and high traffic volumes. As your business grows, Magento can grow with you.<\/p>\n<h4>High Level of Customization<\/h4>\n<p>From our research, the open-source nature of Magento Open Source translates to a high degree of customization through extensions and development. Simply put, you are completely free to adjust the platform to your brand identity and other more niche needs, which results in a very unique customer shopping experience.<\/p>\n<h4>Powerful Features<\/h4>\n<p>Here\u2019s another highlight: all Magento versions promise a rich set of features, including product management, shopping cart functionality, <a href=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/magento-multi-stores-setup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multi-store setup<\/a>, customer accounts, marketing tools, and SEO optimization. Better yet, Magento Adobe Commerce (the paid versions) offer a wider range of beginner features to save you development time and cost.<\/p>\n<h4>Excellent Security<\/h4>\n<p>Although security is ultimately your responsibility with Magento Open Source, the platform itself is built with this criterion in mind. Adobe Commerce also presents extra security features and ongoing updates from Adobe itself to help you handle sensitive customer data.<\/p>\n<h4>Open Source Community<\/h4>\n<p>Lastly, the Magento Open Source community is both vast and active, with countless resources, support forums, and developers who can help you with customization or troubleshooting. You will never run out of Magento learning tutorials to turn to during difficult times.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Pros and Cons<\/h3>\n<p>Although Magento reportedly offers many advantages, it also comes with some drawbacks that are hard to ignore.

But don't worry; the Magento tutorial below is easy to follow, whether you're a fresh beginner or already have some prior experience with Magento:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Managing Orders<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76474\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76474\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76474\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/orders.webp\" alt=\"magento-tutorial-orders\" width=\"1024\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/orders.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/orders-300x134.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/orders-768x342.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76474\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The screen will display a list of all the store's orders.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>First, you should know how to manage your current orders:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To view orders, navigate to <strong>Sales &gt; Orders.<\/strong> The screen will display a list of all orders, including order total, customer info, purchase dates, and current status.<\/li>\n<li>To manually create a new order, simply go to <strong>Orders &gt; Create New Order<\/strong>. This option is quite useful for phone or in-person sales.<\/li>\n<li>Each order has a status (e.g., Processing, Shipped, Complete, Canceled). Update the status as your processing progresses so your customers are informed on time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2.

Here, you can review invoice details such as itemized costs, billing information, order number, etc.<\/li>\n<li>If desired, consider printing or downloading invoices for record-keeping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How to Set Up SEO & Marketing for Your Store<\/h2>\n<p>As a beginner, you might be wondering how to make your store popular from the ground up. While we can't promise overnight success, this Magento blog tutorial will help your store gain some visibility online and through search engines:<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1. Set up clean URLs<\/h3>\n<p>A rule of thumb in SEO is clean URLs that are easy to remember; they can improve click-through rates (CTR) in search results. Just follow our simple steps below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to your Magento Admin Panel.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to <strong>Stores &gt; Configuration<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>Catalog &gt; Catalog &gt; SEO.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>&#8220;Search Engine Optimization&#8221;<\/strong> section, empty the &#8220;Product URL Suffix&#8221; and &#8220;Category URL Suffix&#8221; fields to remove the &#8220;.html&#8221; extension.<\/li>\n<li>Set <strong>&#8220;Use Categories Path for Product URLs&#8221;<\/strong> to <strong>&#8220;No&#8221;.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Save Config.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76464\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76464\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-76464 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step1-1.webp\" alt=\"seo-magento-tutorial-step-1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step1-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step1-1-300x101.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step1-1-768x259.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76464\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Empty the &#8220;Product URL Suffix&#8221; and &#8220;Category URL Suffix&#8221; fields to remove the &#8220;.html&#8221; extension.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Step 2. Create Meta tags<\/h3>\n<p>Once finishing with the URL, let's move on to the meta tags:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to <strong>Catalog &gt; Products<\/strong> in your Magento Admin Panel.<\/li>\n<li>Select a product to edit.<\/li>\n<li>In the <strong>&#8220;Search Engine Optimization&#8221;<\/strong> section, fill in the &#8220;Meta Title&#8221; field.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your meta title descriptive yet concise, under 60 characters, and include your primary keyword.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat these steps for all your products and categories (<strong>Catalog &gt; Categories<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76465\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76465\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76465\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step2-2.webp\" alt=\"seo-magento-tutorial-step-2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step2-2.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step2-2-300x111.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step2-2-768x284.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fill in the fields in the Search Engine Optimization section.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Step 3. Write a Meta description<\/h3>\n<p>While less important now, an informative meta description with relevant keywords will encourage users to click on your listing! Here are some Magento tutorial tips to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the same &#8220;Search Engine Optimization&#8221; section, fill in the &#8220;Meta Description&#8221; field.<\/li>\n<li>Write a good description that accurately reflects the product or category content, including relevant keywords.<\/li>\n<li>Aim for 150-160 characters to ensure the full description is displayed in search results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 4. Optimize your product headers<\/h3>\n<p>Next, we suggest integrating your primary keywords into H1, H2, and H3 headers to structure your content hierarchically and improve search engine understanding.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>To edit product page content:<\/strong> Go to <strong>Catalog &gt; Products<\/strong> and select the product. In the <strong>&#8220;Content&#8221;<\/strong> section, click <strong>Edit with Page Builder<\/strong> to format headers. Ensure the H1 tag includes the primary keyword, and use H2 and H3 tags for subheadings.<\/li>\n<li>To <strong>edit CMS page content<\/strong>: Navigate to <strong>Content &gt; Pages<\/strong>. In the Content&#8221;section, click <strong>Edit with Page Builder<\/strong> and format headers as mentioned above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76466\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76466\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76466\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step4-1.webp\" alt=\"seo-magento-tutorial-step-4\" width=\"1024\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step4-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step4-1-300x102.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step4-1-768x260.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76466\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click Edit with Page Builder to format headers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Step 5.

(Refer to your hosting provider's guide for specific instructions).<br \/>\nAccess your Magento dashboard and go to <strong>Stores &gt; Configuration.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Head to <strong>Web &gt; Base URLs (Secure).<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Set &#8220;<strong>Use Secure URLs in Storefront<\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>Use Secure URLs in Admin<\/strong>&#8221; to &#8220;Yes&#8221;.<br \/>\nUpdate the &#8220;<strong>Secure Base URL<\/strong>&#8221; to use &#8220;https:\/\/&#8221; instead of &#8220;http:\/\/&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Save your configuration and test your site to ensure it loads correctly with HTTPS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76467\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76467\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76467\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step5-2.webp\" alt=\"seo-magento-tutorial-step-5\" width=\"1024\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step5-2.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step5-2-300x209.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/step5-2-768x535.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76467\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Head to Web &gt; Base URLs (Secure) to adjust the settings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Step 6.
