Magento Go Merchants

Tap into the full power of Magento with extensions

For the first time, merchants using Magento Go - the Software as a Service solution for small and emerging businesses - can access extensions that enhance their stores.

Merchants like you choose Magento go because you want the versatility and flexibility of the Magento platform without the need to host your own site or work with code. In other words, you want the flexibility, simplicity, and confidence provided by Magento in the cloud.

The New Magento Connect delivers on these key benefits:

• Flexibility: Magento extensions enable merchants to cuztomize and enhance every area of your store - front and back end, integrations with other web services, marketing tools, themes and more.
• Simplicity: The New Magento Connect enables merchants to purchase and activate many of these extensions with just a few clicks.
• Confidence: "Trusted Extensions" let you know that Magento has reviewed the extension and found that it meets or exceeds specifications for security and performance, and that the extension comes from a trusted developer who has agreed to provide regular updates and technical support for the extension.

We've made it easier to become part of the Magento revolution.

You've heard stories about developers around the world who have built successful businesses by creating and selling extensions for Magento; now it's easier for you to create your own success story.

More than a 1,000 Magento stores come online every day. These include eCommerce newcomers signing up with Magento Go, world-class retailers moving their stores to Magento Enterprise, and every type and size of merchant in between. What they all have in common is the desire to create a store that meets their specific marketing, merchandising and operational needs.

These merchants turn to Magento Connect to find extensions they need. Over 4800 extensions are available, and these extensions have been downloaded more than 4 million times from Magento Connect, generating $100 million in annual revenue for developers.

Magento Connect is the most visited page on the Magento website; it's also the largest eCommerce application marketplace in the world.

With Magento, you can develop extensions that customize, extend, or replace core functionality within the merchant store on premise and in the cloud. You can create enhancements for the front-end or back-end of a store. You can create integrations with other web services... and much, much more.

And once you've created the extension, you can market it to a growing universe of merchants via the New Magento Connect.
