Why do many merchants and developers choose Magento?

Magento took the leading position in every niche of eCommerce from small online stores up to enterprise companies. Which is actually not a surprise. There are many reasons why so many merchants and developers have been choosing Magento. Here are just a few of them:

  1. Open source code that brings unlimited opportunities for customization and improvements
  2. Magento integrated with various payments and shipping gateways, multiple currencies, languages and taxes available, etc.
  3. Store management opportunities featuring multi-store function that allows merchants to run several stores within one Magento installation
  4. Marketplace full of extensions (both free and paid) that can add virtually every possible feature.
