You must have heard of EU GDPR if you are even remotely related to web-development. If you are a webshop/website owner then you must already be dreading the 25th May 2018 deadline.

We hope you already have a plan-of-action in place and are working on it with utmost dedication. The deadline is just a few days away and there is still alot of confusion and discussion floating around this topic but there are no clear answers....

In past few weeks, we were busy making Hungersoft.com fully compliant to all conditions and guidelines of EU  GDPR.

Magento 2 was released on November 17, 2015 and since then there have been regular updates in form of new versions and releases. The latest Magento Open source version 2.2.4 was released on May 2, 2018. You can download it from Magento.com.

There are multiple ways to install new extensions in Magento 2 and we will be discussing all of them one-by-one in our posts....

However, if you run a business then you also know that your problems and requirements can be unique and rare.

A webshop selling perishable food items can have very different requirements than a webshop selling clothing items or downloadable music....

Unique and custom requirements are generally not handled by standard Magento features. Reason being that not enough users need or requested that feature for it to be developed and added to the standard Magento package....
