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. ...

Currently the addresses are connected to Users. Using B2B features, can happen that all users belonging to the same company would use the same addresses. Currently we have to duplicate all addresses for all users of the same company. We would like to connect addresses also to the company entity so that are available for all users of that company. ...

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? ...

Given that the current invoice, shipment and credit memo PDFs look the same as in Magento 1 and PDF's are always a bit of a nightmare to customize for the merchants: I suggest to replace the PDFs with a html2pdf tool. Actually the preview of the invoice looks already really nice in the backend, so this could just be converted to pdf.   This would maybe also help the problem Hirokazu Nishi mentioned in his tweet: "Magento2 still use LinLibertine font. It’s only for Alphabets. To change PDF font, we still have to rewrite some classes..."   This idea resulted from a tweet/discussion here: https://twitter.com/hirokazu_nishi/status/770282916819578881 https://twitter.com/rescueAnn/status/770338589326635008 https://twitter.com/benmarks/status/770339381995384832   ...

The current Adobe Live Search implementation doesn't currently support adding translations.   The only current way to add translations to the Search Popover "View All" and "Suggestions" labeling is to use CSS (as provided as a temp solution by the Adobe Support team). This is not an accessible friendly approach.   The desire would be to replace the text within the label. Being able to translate within the i18n CSV files where most translations are defined would be best.   ... View more

Hi everyone,   In most of the pages in Magento, we can find the "State/Province" before the "Country" field. Since the "State/Province" depends on the country, that is confusing since the customer has go to next field and select the country, and then go back to the previous field and select the state/province.   This is not correct in the most important page in the storefront, the onepage checkout:     And you can also see the wrong order in some pages of the admin panel:     In other pages, like the shopping cart page, the order is correct:   It would be better if the country can be selected first, then the state/province and finally the ZIP/Postal Code (just like the shopping cart page).   ...

In the EU a Gift card (single-purpose voucher) has to be sold with tax applied to it - in other words, gift cards are taxable products also before they are redeemed.   Example: A gift card with the face value of €100 including. tax, will be €80 excluding tax at a rate at 25%. The Gift Card has to be sold at €100 including. tax.   It is required by law in the EU to sell Gift Cards incl. tax and this can't be configured with the current configurations available in the Commerce Gift Card module. Commerce Gift Card product type does not have an option for setting it to use a Tax Class: https://docs.magento.com/user-guide/customers/account-dashboard-gift-cards.html https://docs.magento.com/user-guide/configuration/sales/tax.html https://docs.magento.com/user-guide/configuration/sales/gift-cards.html (Not to be confused with “Tax Class for Gift Options” which is another functionality) Example resources:  https://erply.com/all-that-you-need-to-know-about-taxation-of-gift-cards-in-eu/ https://www2.deloitte.com/ie/en/pages/tax/articles/vouchers-new-vat-rules.html ...

Currently in 2.4+, the process of applying category rules requires a manual save of each category.  This is extremely time consuming for a store that has a lot of categories and also could severely impact the cache if done during business hours.  These rules should be applied automatically or at least on a schedule.  A bonus would be to do this in a cache-preserving way. ...

  When working with B2B, it is not uncommon for the customer to place large quantities in the basket. In addition to this, it has been noted that certain parts of the site, most notably the checkout, tend to slow down in relation to the amount of items that are added to the basket. The more items added, the slower certain areas become.   We suggest refining the code in order to facilitate a large basket quantity, upwards of 200 perhaps, without losing to much time waiting for reloads.   Specifically, the more items in the cart, the slower the following seems to process:   /Webapi/Rest/Magento\Checkout\Api\TotalsInformationManagementInterface/calculate /checkout/sidebar/updateItemQty /checkout/cart/updatePost /checkout/cart/add /checkout/cart/delete /checkout/sidebar/removeItem ...

One big issue I find when working with UI Components is that you end up writing deeply nested xml trees. These quickly become hard to read, and are really unmanageable.   I'd like to propose two new XML nodes to be introduced: alias and referenceAlias. These would provide a mechanism for reducing the amount of XML I need to write and manage when working with nested components. Consider the following:   <?xml version="1.0"?> <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd"> <body> <referenceBlock name="checkout.root"> <arguments> <argument name="jsLayout" xsi:type="array"> <item name="components" xsi:type="array"> <item name="checkout" xsi:type="array"> <item name="children" xsi:type="array"> <item name="steps" xsi:type="array"> <item name="children" xsi:type="array"> <item name="shipping-step" xsi:type="array"> <item name="children" xsi:type="array"> <item name="shippingAddress" xsi:type="array"> <item name="component" xsi:type="string">Ashsmith_Checkout/js/view/shipping</item> </item> </item> </item> </item> </item> </item> </item> </item> </argument> </arguments> </referenceBlock> </body> </page> It's deeply nested, and all to common when all you want to do is replace a component or alter it's configuration in some way.   The alias and referenceAlias solution would result in XML that looks like this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd"> <body> <alias name=checkout_step_shipping_address path=“checkout.root/arguments/jsLayout/components/checkout/children/steps/children/shipping-step/children/shippingAddress” /> <referenceAlias name="checkout_step_shipping_address"> <item name="component" xsi:type="string">Ashsmith_Checkout/js/view/shipping</item> </referenceAlias> </body> </page> Immediately we have less depth, and can still get the job done. Our XML is easier to read and can be quickly understood by anyone jumping in.   Furthermore, these aliases could be defined by the Magento core. They would serve as invaluable extension points for developers.    Even better this feature request would not introduce any breaking changes.   I go over this in a little more detail (and my reasoning behind it) over on my blog: www.ashsmith.io/magento2/suggestions-to-improve-ui-components/ ...
