Magento is one of the most popular eCommerce platforms on the network. It has almost every feature you will ever require to run an eCommerce store. You can also use different themes and extensions to improve the functionality and features of your store. It also has a powerful admin panel that you can customize as per your requirements. The main page you see after logging in is the Startup page. It is important as you can see what you want to see directly after logging in.
