As Magento's newer version becomes more popular, more and more queries arise about how to install it. Many growing e-commerce businesses were forced to switch to a new platform as a result of the lack of new features and the announcement by the platform's maker that support for Magento 1 would expire in 2018.

We asked our Magento 2 programmers for their advice on the most important things to watch out for when putting the system into place.

CISO: Magento 2 is still a very new concept. In the beginning, they have "childhood disorders," as is typical with new technology. When it comes to finding and developing new solutions for these kinds of systems, it's a lot harder. This, on the other hand, makes our jobs more exciting and challenging.

As Magento 2 developers, we're continuously dealing with the issue of a lack of general knowledge about the system. Even if we discover the material on the internet, it is often erroneous or just outdated because it does not adhere to programming standards. Magento's Github tickets indicate how much work remains to be done.

Many essential modules for interacting with payment systems, carriers, and the like are missing. Because of this, the upgrade from version 2.0.01 to 2.2.0 may need a change in the way your site works if it hasn't already done so. It may seem like a minor issue, but if the so-called security patches are already developed for a higher version, programs will need to be updated frequently, which may demand additional labor.

Although the checkout process is more efficient, rebuilding it remains a challenge in Magento 2. Make sure you don't "inadvertently" create more work for yourself during the prototyping stage.

'Javascripting' of programs has also undergone a significant overhaul. Magento 2 developers must have Javascript skills at a similar degree to those required to write PHP code.

Leader of the Information Technology Department:

For me, one of the most crucial aspects of Magento 2 Developers is its ability to accomplish the same goal in a variety of methods. Magento 1 has a similar mechanism in place, but with Magento 2, we have even more options. More than discovering the answer, it's about determining which answer best fits our standards and processes.

Senior Magento and Front-End Developer,

For me, the main issue with Magento 2 is that there are so many different methods to approach the matter, which results in a lot of solutions on the internet, but many of them are either incorrect or out-of-date.

The new Magento can also have properties that blur the line between frontend and backend. In this case, the project's frontend and backend engineers must communicate effectively.

Another feature worth noting is the previously mentioned method of payment. Magento 2 developers has a 'Beauty and the Beast' feel about it. Modifications can be a major pain in the neck in the early stages. For the third or fourth time, you'll notice a difference.

There are plans to switch to Sass from LESS for the preprocessor in Magento 2. Support for LESS may be phased off, but how that will play out in the real world is still a mystery. Our server-side compilation module in Divante enables us to implement Sass-based projects right now.

MVVM and JS are also prominent in Magento 2, which is why I'd also like to mention it. Very well done; you can see the beginning of a new standard. As a result, navigating the site is a lively and enjoyable experience. Once customers have completed the entire purchasing process, they simply need to refresh the page elements that require it; the rest of the page does not need to be reloaded for them.

There are a few things I would like to add that have already been mentioned, but they are minor.

When purchasing pre-made skins, it's important to thoroughly inspect their quality every time. With only a demo to go on, it's difficult to figure out how to do it. Check out the creator of any ready-made solution before deciding whether or not it's right for you. They should be able to help us with any issues we may have.

Magento 2 also necessitates indoctrinating developers from the ground up to break old habits and code in compliance with the new standards (although these too are not ideal). An additional consideration is needed to ensure that modules are reusable - emphasize that modules are more independent than merely fast constructed answers that only function for a given project or situation– while I don't know which is worse.
