Magento 2.x Feature Requests and Improvements

To plan out changes ahead of time on site, specifically on the home page, we use scheduled changes. An issue we have come across is that there is no way to preview these scheduled changes in mobile view.  A large portion of people using the mobile view not having that ability is a hindrance.   While we can make these changes on Staging, and push them live to view and test, we want to be able to completely ensure that the changes made on the Production site are perfect before going Live with the changes. If we inspect the preview page and set the dimensions to mobile view, it does not reflect what will happen once the page is live.  It just smooshes up the desktop version of the page and adds no responsiveness. ...

History We started our first Magento Cloud project in 2019 and both Magento and us received several complaints about the bad performance (slow response-times of non-cached requests) from that customer back then. We did several other Magento/Adobe Commerce projects since 2019, some hosted on Magento cloud, others hosted on different infrastructure solutions, which included custom multi-node AWS-setups and single-node setups. Over all those years we started several attempts to optimize both the code-base of the projects and the configuration of the Magento Cloud infrastructure, which brought some improvements, but the resulting performance never came close to the one of the single-node setups that were used by most of projects. By numbers we are calculating an average of 2.5-times the response-time for Magento-Cloud projects compared to projects hosted e.g. on a single https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax102/   Current situation We received another complaint from a customer, again optimized the code-base and Magento-Cloud configuration, but also came up with our own considerations regarding the Magento Cloud infrastructure in general. We initially raised those requests at our onboarding team, the customer's suggest manager, were forwarded to the support, which forwarded us to this section of the forum at the end. Considerations Overall architecture To our knowledge the usage of a Magento Cloud infrastructure always implies the use of at least 3 different nodes on 3 different availability-zones. (Visual representation: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/commerce-cloud-service/assets/az-stack-diagram.png?lang=en) From several cloud-projects (AWS and Magento Cloud) we also learned that the usage of several nodes/servers for the different services increases the over-all response time, as network-latencies are introduced into the communication between the application and its services and the replication of the data between the same service on the different service-nodes. Those network-latencies are even worse, if the the different nodes are distributed over several availability-zones.   Is there a possibility to drop either the 3-node architecture, or at the least the use of different availability zones? We are aware that this would reduce the redundancy of such a setup, but from the feedback of our customers a better performance would be more important to them then the redundancy currently offered. An a number of those customers do not have the high number of traffic-volume that would require a multi-node setup.   Type of CPU For our current customer executing a cat /proc/cpuinfo on one of the cloud-environments reveals the following data: model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8171M CPU @ 2.60GHz cpu MHz : 2095.081   So Magento Cloud currently provides a CPU that was released back in 2017 and has only a CPU clock speed of 2.1 GHz. Whereas a hosting-option from another hoster (https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax102/) would give us a  AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D (from 2023) with 4.2 GHz.   And yes, we are aware that the most recent hardware is not available at every location of AWS or Azure, but at least more recent hardware with higher CPU clock speed would be available at both of those provided, some of it even for cheaper prices than the hardware currently provided. https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/azure/virtual-machines/linux/compute-benchmark-scores#hbv3   Is there a chance to get more recent hardware for our Magento Cloud customers? ...

Adobe Commerce DateTime attribute type is not implemented for customer attributes.  They are date only. This causes an issue with being able to provide a customer with a full omnichannel experience of accurately viewing activity on how they interact with an organization outside of just their ecommerce purchases.  With Date only and not DateTime for customer attributes, the activity of the customers interaction last interaction/transaction outside of Adobe Commerce - for example presentation of the last purchase in a brick and mortar location will be presented twice to the customer when other updates have occurred to the customer profile in Adobe Commerce.  ...

For example, if we search for "fiter" it shows us results for "filter" in the response as expected but there's no messaging for "Did you mean?" or "showing results for filter"   Currently, there is nothing in the live search response indicating what it's showing results for when the customer mis-types or it is showing results due to a fuzzy match.  Because of this, we can't show that it Didn't find results for "fiter" but it's showing you results for "filter" instead. ...

We submitted a ticket saying we synchronize orders in Magento to NetSuite. We bring them over using the Magento ID as the sales order ID in NetSuite (itemid, not internalid). Incrementing by 3 is very confusing for our staff, making it hard to notice if an order has been overlooked in processing. This can lead to frustrated customers and lost revenue. The idea that this is a restriction of Adobe Cloud's database clusters and cannot be fixed is frustrating. ... View more

We need to use the Quick Order functionality for the Venia theme but this is not available for Venia theme.

It is not possible to increase the disk space of the build container permanently.   This is required once you have more than 20 locales to be built while static content generation while the cloud deployment process, and on transfer step you will face errors like these: gzip: /app/pub/static/adminhtml/vendor/backend/fr_CH/jquery/ui-modules/resizable.js.gz: No space left on device ... This is caused due to the too low size of the build container (8Gb).   The temporary solution from Magento Cloud engineers was to adjust cloud configs (cloud support has access there only) for increasing space from 8Gb to 16Gb. However, quote: this will likely be downgraded back to 8GB at some point.  , because these configs are placed under a version control system and these changes are just left there as modifications. So can be rest to default state once the new version of configs/codebase of cloud configs will come in.   Please add the possibility to change the build container disk space permanently. Thank you. ... View more

Version: Magento 2.4.2 Payments: Opayo PI integration   Issue: Orders with a failed payment create "Pending Payment" state order and subsequently empty customer cart and don't allow for a payment re-attempt.   This occurs for any payment/card failure (wrong digit, failed 3d secure, wrong CVC) These are very common user errors for ecommerce. This creates negative user experience as the customer then has to re-shop for their cart content and re-checkout.    This is because: 1. Magento default is for orders to be placed into order state "Pending Payment" as the checkout page is redirected for payment validation from bank/provider (3d Secure). This 'creates' the order whilst payment is sent for approved/refused. As 3d secure is worldwide mandatory in 2022 this will impact all store checkouts.   2. If this fails due to incorrect card details or fail of 3d secure, the order remains Pending Payment and the customer has their basket subsequently cleared   Suggestion: Orders should not be created until payment is authorised from provider. If refused, return to checkout page. If authorised, proceed to order creation upon success. Allow for cart data to be retained and re-provided if payment is failed, not to create Pending Payment order.   This causes many issues for sellers and is a huge cause of abandoned carts and negative feedback. This should be native behaviour for Magento to provide customers another attempt to pay rather than removing the cart and placing useless Payment Pending order. ... View more

Hello!   I'm deploying Magento for the first time.  Version CE 2.3.7 from package.  Added a bunch of plugins, most of which has been OK.  Just doing final integration testing now.   We use Gluu for Customer Identity Management.   Integrating Gluu with Magento has been a drama.  The Gluu code provided is all for Magento1.  We have it working now with help from a magento marketplace plugin.  But this doesn't really seem the sort of job a plugin is designed for (compared to other plugins I've installed).   I can't help think this feature would be better embedded in the core code.   Any chance customer identity outsourcing via OAuth 2 / OpenID Connect is a feature planned for a future release?  Either with or without SCIM support for replicating/editing customer profile data.   I've written my own integrations for our in-house applications, so I have: 1) test environments 2) a good knowledge of the transactions/protocols involved 3) lots of customer data 4) experience with working with open source development   What I don't have is: 1) php experience (I have some) 2) experience with Magento 2 source code   If someone is working on OAuth / OpenID authentication for customer identity management in Magento 2 - please reach out.    If you know that adding this to the core Magento2 code is a bad idea, please let me know why.   If you think adding this to the core Magento2 code is a good idea, please encourage me.   If there is a good place to start (adding this to the core code).   If I wanted to work on this, should I fork the 2.4-develop or 2.5-develop branch as the starting point? (I know the contributions guide says 2.4, but I'm wondering why there is a 2.5, and since this is probably not a minor change, or quick change, if targeting 2.5 is more sensible).  I can't find any mention of a planned release timeline for 2.5...   TIA! ...

HTTPS has become quite the standard for the delivery of most content. Without delivering content through HTTPS users will experience "mixed content" browser errors and have content no be loaded correctly because its being blocked by modern web browsers. With that said; isn't it time for the Magento platform to come up with a cache system implementation that supports HTTPS and is recommended for us (Full Page Cache is "not recommended" per Magento documentation)?   Having to need two web servers (Apache + NGINX as a reverse proxy) and configure them to work with an HTTP-only cache system of Varnish is quite complicated and seems to me is overdue for an overhaul / new solution. ...

Hi,   We need a way to manage users who have access to export data.   For operational reason we may need to give users access to «Customers» and «Sales» sections but we also need a way to stop them from exporting this data for obvious security reason.   I understand user will still have access to the information in the section but exporting is a whole other level of data protection sensibility.   I think it is relly weird that a solution like Magento with a PCI ompliant status does not offer that. Customer data is a very important thing and we need to be able to protect it.   Thank you to consider this request.   Alexis Charlebois ... View more
