Magento 2.x Feature Requests and Improvements

We need an alternative to the customer email login which is phone number login. It may not sound useful in Western countries but in China, it's necessary. Chinese people only use this login method with Taobao (taobao.com), Tmall (tmall.com) or JD (jd.com), they are used to it.   Without this basic option, Magento 2 will never make it in China.   ...

Our payment partner - Adyen offers a feature to see which browser a customer used to make a purchase, so long as the order was made using their Card services.    For other standalone payment methods such as Amazon Pay and PayPal; I would like to suggest an information box within the order history for the admins benefit only, so that we may track which Browser a person used to complete an order and monitor whether a certain browser and/or version is causing errors or failing to track conversions within Bing or Google.    The idea came from the information found in our Adyen control panel.     ...

Hello, I believe this is more of a question than a suggestion. Amasty adds a block with technical information in the admin area (see below). Is it safe? Is it possible to add it to vanilla Magento to avoid every extension vendor adding this information? Access control would be more convenient to set up to one page rather than many. ... View more

When managing attribute and attribute set data via the REST API, all the endpoints required to create a complete attribute set with attribute groups and attributes assigned to that set and those groups are present and available.   However, the reverse is not true. There is an endpoint missing in retrieving all of this data for an already existing attribute set. Specifically, the attribute group that each attribute in an attribute set belongs to. Attributes for an attribute set are retrieved by set and do not contain the attribute group they are present in either. This is largely obstructive to the process of fully and bi-directionally integrating the attribute set system with an external source.   In short, include the ID of the attribute group that an attribute belongs to in the returned JSON when listing attributes in an attribute set using the REST API. (Or otherwise include an endpoint that would make this information available). ... View more

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 paales, posted on GitHub Jul 31, 2016 I just added 19 products to my category. The frontend doesn't show any products. It would be really helpful to give a hint why a product isn't visible on the shop. (After being a Magento developer for years, I still struggle with such a basic thing..) In an effort to improve the usability of the system and greatly improve the merchant experience, context aware hints are crucial. Explain what is going on and how should the merchant fix their 'mistakes'. The idea is to add a visibility-helper-icon to product grids so that it is clear why products aren't shown and suggestions how to fix this. With this, we can collapse the Visibility, Status and maybe Websites column into one 'Visibility Helper' column (or just an icon behind the name of the product). The visibility helper icon will have a popover with additional information why this is happening: Not visible: Icon: http://fontawesome.io/icon/eye-slash/ Product isn't visible anywhere //one or more applicable Product is disabled [Enable Product] Inventory is set to 0 [Set inventory] //when the setting is enabled Product is set to Not Visible Individually and isn't part of a composite product [Make visible] Product is set to Catalog but isn't connected to a visible category Limited The product has limited visibility Product is set to Not Visible Individually but part of a composite product. Product is set to Search [Set Catalog Search] OR Product is set to Catalog, Search but isn't attached to a visible category. [Add Category] Product is set to Visibility: Catalog but isn't connected to a visible category [Assign to Category] Visible Conditions: The above conditions don't match Tooltip: Gives a link to the category and product view page. Questions: How are we going to handle store view / website specific values without having huge popovers? Might it be a good idea to include salable information as well? ... View more

In Page Builder, when selecting images, the tiled view is acceptable until you have a lot of images in a single folder.  Another view option, list / details, would be optimal here.  This would allow you to see the full file name, size, type, etc. and allow for sorting on any of the columns. ...

It would be great to be able to manually control the order of static assets added via XML, for example if you are loading 5 CSS files you can set the order they load in.   At the moment this is out of a developers control, there are workarounds such as a adding an attribute but this still isn't very useful.There are extensions that add the ability to use so this is possible.   Some useful links/discussions: - https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/1821 - https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/8406 - https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/94769/what-is-the-proper-way-of-positioning-ordering-css-files-in-magento-2 - https://github.com/quickshiftin/mage2-ordered-assets I have heard this mentioned several times, in this instance a third party module is adding some CSS which is loading before the custom CSS therefore overwriting it.   ...

Currently PWA Studio supports Braintree payments out of the box in its Venia storefront implementation. It will be great if it can support all the payment methods which comes by default with luma theme.    Here I am requesting to have Purchase order payment method compatible with PWA studio in native magento.   Thank you! ...

We need to use the Quick Order functionality for the Venia theme but this is not available for Venia theme. This functionality is only compatible with luma theme.   As this is a core feature available for Adobe commerce, hence the expectation is we should be able to use if we are going with pwa (venia).   Ref - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/commerce-admin/b2b/quick-order.html?lang=en ...

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 paales, posted on GitHub Jun 21, 2016 Currently using 2.1-rc3. There is no API available for product option swatches. It makes sense if we are able to use the ProductAttributeOptionManagementInterface to add new swatch texts to products. Maybe to have better separation of concerns we could have a ProductAttributeOptionSwatchManagementInterface to add swatch information to an existing option. ... View more

Feature request from markoshust, posted on GitHub Oct 13, 2015 Grunt has a very slow building process. Gulp should replace Grunt as the recommended method for building static assets. This would also be a good time to decouple PHP calls from the nodejs build process. Any PHP calls from nodejs should be moved to ./bin/magento so node/js code is kept node/js only, and PHP scripts are only called from PHP. This will help streamline the deployment process. ...

Feature request from Vinai, posted on GitHub Jul 30, 2016 Whenever I try to use a custom or core UI component the experience is frustrating, time consuming and painful. It would be great to see the components either made simpler (to use and understand how they work) or to be replaced with something simpler altogether :tada:. There is so much JS "magic" and conventions and poor documentation I find the developer experience severely lacking. Much of the XML is bonkers to read and write. So much of it seems to be "just do X and it will work" without information on WHY and HOW to debug if something does not work. The combination of a ton of PHP, XML and JS makes for a very tricky debugging process. It is very hard to properly write tests in small steps. Much of it is "add ALL the required code or NOTHING will work". Seemingly simply things become bloated tasks. Preconditions This applies to any version of Magento 2 from beta up to the latest version on github. Steps to reproduce Try to use UI components, either custom ones or core ones, without using extensive copy&paste and actively avoiding the urge to even think the question "Why?". Expected result The system should be simple to use AND understand. Actual result Hours wasted slogging through code and documentation, trying to understand WTF I got wrong and I find myself questioning some of my life choices. ... View more

As part of the new 3-D Secure standard that is coming into force in Europe, there are a number of new parameters that should be sent to credit card acquirers. For a full list of the new fields check Credit Card 3DS2 Fields Currently missing information as far as my research showed: customer last login date customer password change date how many attempts to add a credit card to vault (e.g. tried to add 100 credentials and only the last one was valid) customer suspicious activity (there should be a way for a merchant to mark a customer as suspicious) street 3 field for billing and shipping address mobile phone and work phone (add 2 additional phone fields) expected delivery date for preordered products To ensure full compliance with the 3-D Secure standard this fields should be added. ...

Hi, I am thinking in add the feature to use telephone number instead of email on Magento 2. Mobile phones are everywhere and and in some countries people are using more their numbers to associate in some services instead of an email address.   My idea is offer both type of authentication on Magento 2 (email or sms) and also send the transactional emails using SMS messages to these customers. The admin user can customize the sms templates like it happens on transactional emails.   To send the messages we can offer a ready integration with a 3rd party service like Twilio or MessageMedia.   I was working on that in a custom extension, it's working good but my idea is incorporate that on Magento core.   Thanks. ...
