We are having an issue with how GA 360 is reporting revenue when a line level discount is applied to an order. The example shared in a support ticket shows how a basic Magento store setup is reflecting the problem, so the bug is built in to the out-of-the-box instance of Magento Commerce. In our site's case, we have a more customized Cart setup but the problem is the same. As a result, GA is reflecting all of our Revenue reporting incorrectly.   It doesn't appear that I can attach a file here, so a more detailed explanation is as follows.  When a customer uses a coupon which applies a discount to 1 of say 3 products in their cart, the GA purchase event records the product price to be the original price.  This should be recording the updated, discounted price.  We are able to confirm that this discounted price is available in the "Row Total" Magento field.  So the data is there for the taking.  Our request is that Magento use the Row Total amount in the corresponding GA events for Product Price.   Business Impact: all of our discount revenue tracking on products is wildly different.  This impacts our ability to read the success of campaigns and requires a great deal of manual effort to adjust for the error.  Please correct!!! ...

Feature request from tzyganu, posted on GitHub Nov 21, 2014 This is inspired by a question for Magento 1. I tested on Magento 2-alpha 104 and it behaves the same as in Magento 1. When mass updating products using the Update attributes from the product admin grid, the updated_at attribute does not change. It is only changed when explicitly calling $product->save() . This may be a philosophical question "Should updated_at be changed when bulk updating products?". I would say "Yes". It should be changed independent of the source of the modification. This is applicable for all EAV entities. If you have a different view on the issue, please share. ... View more

For the In-Store Pickup module with MSI, it would be incredibly helpful if, for stores like the ones I manage with only one location per Magento instance, Store Pickup could default to that location and bypass the 'Select Store' step altogether. Also, if you could bypass the proximity calculation. In other words, if a customer selected the 'Pick In Store' tab at checkout on a site with only one pickup source in the back-end, the store would already appear there as the selected location. This would streamline things for the customer, too (and likely lead to less phone calls from confused customers for us). ... View more

Feature request from robert198222, posted on GitHub Jul 27, 2015 As standard in 1.x it's only possible to add Discounts as Actions in Shopping Cart Price Rule. It would be a natural future to have both Discounts and Fees as rules. Fees could be useful if your Condition is a Payment Method and you want to add a fixed fee or/and percent of product price fee for the chosen Payment Method, for example Paypal. Same if you want to add extra fee for Conditions with very heavy products, special destinations, if subtotal is too low etc. ... View more

Feature request from mikebranderhorst, posted on GitHub Feb 13, 2013 Apple, Dell, Microsoft all do the same as Magento (or the other way around ;-). But did you ever experience how hard it is to order a product living in a country if you do not speak nor read the foreign language? Apple for example, if you live in the Netherlands but cannot read Dutch how do you order? It must go through http://store.apple.com/nl which is Dutch. If you want to select English it is not possible to deliver to an address in The Netherlands. Now my feature request is to add an extra scope, named Language scope. If you add for example a product, translate it in multiple languages regardless of Store View scope. The Store View scope has a language and just picks the right translated product but a customer can stay on the Netherlands store but order everything in English or German or whatever. Read my comments in this blog post. http://inchoo.net/online-marketing/translation-is-not-localization-multi-country-e-commerce-tips/ Summary: We have a: Store A (.nl) Netherlands (Dutch is main language, German and English) Store B (.de) Germany (German is main language, Dutch and English) Store C (.eu) Europe (English is main language, Dutch and German) Future: .be, .it, .se etc. All shops share the same products, different prices, different static content and ! 3 languages. Currently it is difficult to get a internationalisation scope in a localized store. A German store != the store of Germany. The store in the Netherlands could also be translated in German but is not the same as the German text on the store of Germany. How I see this in practice: Product: When you add a product you have a Global scope product with multiple translations, not only text but also metadata, url, title pictures etc. Then when you add a product to a store view it gets automatically the language of that store view. Static content: This could be Global text in multiple languages or Website scope text in multiple languages. For example a Contact of Return policy page could be translated in say three languages but is for Store A, B and C not the same. But other pages could be the same in all Store A, B, C. Configuration: (.nl) Store A - Netherlands - Dutch (main) Store A - Netherlands - German Store A - Netherlands - English (.de) Store B - Germany - German (main) Store B - Germany - Dutch Store B - Germany - English (.eu) Store C - Europe - English (main) Store C - Europe - Dutch Store C - Europe - German Now, when I add a product, I should choose to make it global or assign it only to a country (website scope). I translate the product in multiple languages with English as fallback. When a customer visits the Store A but does not speaks Dutch and selects English he/she is still on Store A. Why not Store C? Store C has different content (maybe also theme) and different regulations (tax, law, delivery regulations, etc.) ... View more

Feature request from webtekindo, posted on GitHub Feb 04, 2016 The issue exists in Magento 1 and still exists in Magento 2, when we use the Adjustment Refund or Fee taxes are not calculated. I see in the documentation : "In the Adjustment Refund field, enter a value to be added to the total amount refunded as an additional refund that does not apply to any particular part of the order (shipping, items, or tax). The amount entered cannot raise the total refund higher than the paid amount." So I understand that these adjustments dont apply to shipping, items or tax. But in the case we want to partially refund an items, we dont have choice to use the Adjustments fields and then the taxes are not recalculated. I think a better way should be to allow to refund one or more products with a custom price (with checkbox as on admin new order form) and if the products are taxable then the refund will correctly recalculate the correct taxes. ...

Feature request from mage2pro, posted on GitHub Nov 26, 2015 It is a long-term issue from Magento 1.x, and still is in Magento 2. Looks an example here: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/2505#issuecomment-159754199 As you can see, the left half of screen contains the same file path in each line, and the right half chops significant parts of the messages. I propose: Show the full strings in a error report's stack trace Additional improvement: skip the filesystem path to the Magento root in the stack traces because it is the same for each trace line. It would better to show it once above the stack trace. ... View more

Feature request from chasteIT, posted on GitHub Sep 03, 2015 In Magento2, can we please get the ability to set default configurations of Configurable Products? @tzyganu's Easylife Switcher that sets default configurations, keeps the selected options when other above them change. It also changes the product image or media block when options are changed -- among other cool stuff. Also, Inchoo did a tutorial on autoselecting configurable product options, and Iceberg Commerce provided a Javascript method. Lastly, pre-selecting default simple products would affect the Simple Configurable Products #335 undertaking. Edit: This could be used in conjunction with layered navigation. See issue: Layered Navigation Filters Pre-Select Configurable Product Options #1784 ... View more

 Requesting a change to Page Builder text editor element to include the html view button in the TinyMCE toolbar.   In Magento 2.3.3 when I insert the text editor element into a page or block I'm working I only have standard formatting controls (bold, itallic, style, paragraph and etc.   If I need to do any kind of additional editing of content to add div tags to style content via CSS, add Google event tags or adding any html code not availbe in the toolbar I can't. There is no way for me to edit the content's source code.   There is an html element that can be dragged in however you can't flip back and forth from code to WYSIWYG mode to review your changes. This makes it difficult creating content because you're either making only allowed basic formatting or you have to do everything in pure html. No the most user friendly experience for site users. In Magento 1.14.x TinyMCE had a view source button that would allow us to toggle back and forth for ease of editing. I'd like to see this feature restored to core functionality.   I did see a git commit for this exact feature here:  https://github.com/magento-devdocs/pagebuilder-examples/tree/master/Example/PageBuilderExtensionText   I think its critical that content marketers have this feature to allow them to quickly create blog posts, product pages and blocks with ease of use in mind. Coding via pure html is time consuming for non developers. Please consider this feature to implement in the near future. ... View more
