A new release of Cart2Quote is available. This release, just like all new releases, can be downloaded for free by all users with an ongoing subscription. Users with an expired license receive a €200,- discount. This month, our release is quite substantial. We did not only fix minor and major bugs and improve existing functionalities, but we’ve also added a lot of features as well. Let’s take a look at a few of them!

Last week, you’ve read about Magento numbers in 2020, and that the platform is growing in popularity faster and faster. That isn’t without reason. Like us, more and more merchants fall for the charms of Magento, not in the last place for these advantages.

As you may know, we’ve started building our module because we were missing good B2B functionalities in Magento. This frustrated us, thus, Cart2Quote was born. However, it is because of our love for Magento that it could frustrate us in the first place. We love the platform, and every year more people do. Let’s look at some impressive numbers.

Configure, price, quote. An essential feature for any B2B webstore, and also a feature missing in all standard Magento editions. As a matter of fact, the lack of a quotation functionality in Magento is the reason we started Cart2Quote, when founder Remco de Jong got annoyed by the absence of a Magento CPQ functionality.

More than 10 years of experience, an awful lot of passion and of course all the knowledge and skills to deliver products of the highest quality. If you either need any customizations for our existing modules or want to have a whole new module being made, Cart2Quote is the perfect Magento 2 module development partner! 

Fun fact: due to the fact that our company is named ‘Cart2Quote’, we’re often asked for a quote for building a Magento webshop as well. People search for terms like ‘Magento 2 quote’, wanting to either offer their clients a quote functionality or receive a quote for building a Magento webstore like said. Fortunately, Cart2Quote has several partners that are actually focused on making both B2B and B2C Magento webstores and do know how to integrate Cart2Quote in Magento projects.

The coronavirus is still responsible for more and more patients each day. These are strange and unsure times and while of course people getting sick is our biggest concern, we’re worried about our economy as well. A lot of webstore owners use these difficult times with home isolated personnel, falling sales numbers and the economy having a hard time in general, to act. While unable to continue some of their standard company processes, they choose to optimize and reimagine their marketing and look for new opportunities and possibilities.

Market places such as Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Alibaba and Aliexpress quickly take over market share. Every day more merchants choose to sell their products on external platforms. Sometimes as an additional sales channel to their existing webstore, sometimes as their main selling platform. Selling via marketplaces works for some branches and products, -you’ll never hear us say you should not make use of marketplaces-, but this is why B2B merchants should always start with their webstore, and should not be completely dependent on marketplaces!
