What is Magento 2?

Magento 2 is a popular open-source eCommerce platform and content management system (CMS) used to build online stores and websites. It is the successor to Magento 1 (whose service ended in June 2020) and offers enhanced features, improved performance, and a more user-friendly interface.

Magento 2 offers a range of features, including product management, payment and shipping integration, order processing, and marketing and SEO tools. With its modular architecture, developers can customize and extend the platform to meet their specific needs by leveraging its flexible APIs, creating custom themes, and integrating third-party extensions and modules.
