Magento 2.x Feature Requests and Improvements

request: Basic Support for Stock Take [Stock freeze]   Rationale We all do it. Every month, every quarter or every year. Count the stock: stock take. Magento does not support the basic business process. It should.   The problem  When you execute a stock take, this takes time. During this time orders enter the system. THere is nothing wrong with that. But you want to freeze the stock decrement until done. This can be easily achieved by a Magento quick win. Especially after the 2.3 version because stock and stock reserve are separated.   Example Here we are with our nice little Magento store. It is 7 AM. No orders for today. So we pick all our orders and the stock in Magento versus the Warehouse = equal (suppose ;). The team then starts counting the products qty's and order picking is paused. During this time orders enter the system and decrement stock. When you are done counting you import all the stock (or in batches). The order picking starts again and this is where it goes wrong. All the sold products during the stock take have never been decremented fromt he stock Qty   Solution Add a pause stock button on store level (in case you do stock take for complete warehouse in 1 go). And add a pause stock update button on product level. If the pause option is activated then stock is no longer decremented. After the stock take we undo the pause and stock is decremented from the Qty. This time the Warehouse <= IN SYNC => Magento             ... View more

Request: Set Product Attribute "Apply To" not based on Product Type but ... rather visibility (or new attribute) ... or attribute set related   We sell for example T-shirts and ties. For T-shirts 1 configurable product exist. With several simple products. For Ties only simple products exist (onesize)   Product meta data is stored on the parent product. For T-shirts the configurable product. For ties the simple product.    Now if we make an attribute required like COLOR for simple products it also applies to the child products of the t-shirt: and this is where it goes wrong   Every time we edit the qty of barcode of a simple product we are enforced to select a color for the simple product. And this is very wrong: meta data is stored on the parent configurable level   To me this has always been a design flaw that can be improved   Request: create attributes "Apply To" based on something else than Product Type. Rather I can imagine a product is set up as a Salable Parent (meaning: presented on the frontend). So if this flag is set then attribute checks and other apply. It would also simplify many rules and coupon setup.                              ... View more

Product Images that are supplied by international brands often have a expiry date. This is becoming a bigger and biiger problem because brand crawlers or law-agents crawl the web to find these images that have expired, often resulting in fines.   In fashion there are several kind of images plain product, pack shot (and zooms/angles) image on dummy/ghost image on a model   The images on a model often are valid for a period X. After this date the image should be removed.    Request: add a date field to magento product images to set as an start_from and end_date so we can schedule product images.     (ps why is there no label/tag on this boad for legal or risk) ...

Hello everyone, Does anyone know how to change 'Add To Cart' button text and relink the button? Sometimes I need to direct customer from my store to another place in the net. I followed these 2 guides: https://community.magento.com/t5/Magento-1-x-Admin-Configuration/Changing-Add-to-cart-button-text-and-relink/td-p/11658 https://www.tigren.com/change-add-cart-button-text-magento/ But they're the guide for Magento 1.9. The curent version is Magento 2.2.6 and the code is different, I can change the button text, but can not relink it. I created an atrribute 'get_link' to get the external URL from user's input, but it did not work. This is my code for the file 'addtocart.phtml' within current theme: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WUsLE1arTCSX2V0jqKzmTkSH6fwY9X6/view?usp=sharing Or, does anyone know where I can find information for this problem? Hope you will take a look. Thank a lot!! ... View more

Default functionality shows the requisition list icon only upon login. I'd like the option to show it to both logged-in and non logged-in users.   If we offer it (and explain what it is), it's an incentive for users to log in. ... View more

With wish-list sharing in mind, I'd like to see requisition lists shared in a similar way. ... View more

Issue Currently there is no simple way to check what quote item was just added to the cart. This causes issues for module developers who need to work out what item was added to the cart for a custom module.   Possible Solution Right now we have: $this->checkoutSession->getLastAddedProductId(); To get the last added product however there is no way to fetch the item id. A possible solution is to give us a saved session for getLastAddedItemId for example: $this->checkoutSession->getLastAddedItemId();     ... View more

As per current mechanism , If new version release then we must need to put live store into maintenance mode or need to do it into staging and need to upgrade version first and then test whole site and if any issue occurred with current code then need to fix it and after all of stuff doing we able to move latest code into live site.   It all taking minimum 1 hrs if user's have very high speed server to complete this process.   If magento have auto update version feature like auto update browser version then it will more safely way to choose magento than other framework. ...

To increase the qty of magento merchants, it is strongly recommended to establish the affiliate network from Magento. That would increase the e commerce site's sales.   There is already this network from the shopify which attract many merchants. ... View more

It's currently a huge pain to manage a large number of cart rules/coupons by having to click into each individual cart rule, and either delete it or to make it active or inactive.   To make matters worse, you can't open the view/edit page in a new tab. Because the grid row uses onclick JS events, that part of web accessibility is gone. You can't command-click, or right-click, open in new tab. This would be fixed with a dedicated "edit" button column. I suggest to either add this part of web accessibility back in (by having an action anchor tag, or by having a dedicated column), or instead to add a selection + mass actions for the active/inactive flag, and cart rule deletion. ...
