Magento and CMS Integration

Magento Ecommerce

PROBLEM

Magento Community Edition lacks enterprise-level CMS features

SOLUTION

There are full-blown CMS integrations in TYPO3, Drupal, Wordpress and Joomla that can take it to the next level.

Ecommerce has literally been taken by storm by a commercially backed Open Source shopping cart called Magento. There are currently three editions of Magento; Community (free), Professional and Enterprise. The most popular community edition however lacks enterprise-level CMS capabilities. There are wonderful CMS features appearing in commercial editions of Magento like CMS+ while the community edition has nothing comparable yet. Let's explore the options.

TYPO3

Typogento - An integration of Magento into TYPO3. TYPO3 displays products and much more from Magento utilizing Magento's built-in API. Additionally a TYPO3 extension must be installed. There are no core file code modifications necessary. Typogento also has it's own dedicated website.

Drupal
