Magento 2.3 Open Source & Commerce Features and Release Notes

- E-Commerce, Magento 2

Magento 2.3 Features

We are all passionate about Magento 2 and all its new releases. With every update, the platform gets revolutionary features that revamp the default e-commerce experience entirely and put extension providers out of a job. And the closest major update is Magento 2.3, so let’s discuss how the new platform version may look and when it will be available.

We were amazed when 2.2.2 was released with such features as Magento Shipping, Advanced Reporting, Instant Purchases, Dotmailer Integration, and MFTF. The zero-step checkout experience was magnificent. Although the idea is not new, it was represented in Magento 2 for the first time. Registered customers no longer have to enter any address details, payment preferences, or shipping options. Furthermore, the purchase is made right on a product page. But let’s return to our mutton.

We expect that Magento 2.3 will be released somewhere in mid-2018. And it will include the following core features:

  • Progressive Web Apps;
  • BlueFoot CMS & Page Builder;
  • Klarna Integration
  • Amazon 3rd Party Sales Channel;
  • Multi-Source Inventory;
  • RabbitMQ
