How Long Does It Take to Install a Magento Extension

So, I previously was a WordPress developer. I have since moved on to managing paid media (Google Ads/Facebook Ads).

I have a client on Magento and I recommended that they install one of the GA4 extensions to implement revenue tracking in GA4. The developer is stating that because the site is custom coded/legacy, that it will take 6 hours to install the extension.

Does this seem right to you? In WordPress, these are 15 minute installs with the Plugins. Just paste in your GA4 ID and you are done. Is Magento really so different that it takes 6 hours to install a basic GA4 extension? Or, is the developer taking the client for a ride?

Thoughts?

Adding a widget to all products in a certain category

Is it possible to add a static block widget to all products in a particular category?

Example, creating a static block with an offer for hair straighteners and then displaying that static block on all product pages that are in the straighteners category

The only way I can see is to create a widget and manually selecting the products which is an issue as the products change daily depending on stock availability

Ship to Applicable Countries Selecting Specific Countries will not work

Hello everyone, when setting the shipping method Free Shipping, everything is normal when I select All Allowed Countries in Ship to Applicable Countries. But when I want to ship free to specific countries, it does not work after selecting Specific Countries (the shipping method does not appear on the checkout page). Does anyone know what’s going on?

Adobe Cloud Commerce down to Community Edition

Has anyone dealt with moving off the Adobe Cloud Commerce servers and going back to self-hosting?

Just curious as I have a client who is paying a ton of money to Adobe for hosting yet their site isn’t overly complex. Sure it has like 15k products, but it’s really just a simple store. No plugins of note and mostly customized code that communicates with an POS API on another server.

They were just talking about the unaffordability of it all today and I think the $40k/yr paid to Adobe for hosting is overkill.

Are there any major pitfalls to downgrading/shifting to Community Edition? Is that even an option these days? (I’ve been out of the Magento loop for like a decade).

Setting a main / primary category for a product which is listed in multiple categories at multiple levels

Just wondering if there’s a way to set a ‘main’ or ‘primary’ category for a product

For example, we have a product: Red Maple Tree

It is in a few categories (example only)

  • Plants > Trees > Trees A-Z > R
  • Plants > Trees > Maple Trees > Red Trees
  • Plants > Trees > Maple Trees
  • Plants > Red Plants
  • Special Offers

The main / root category in this example would be Plants > Trees > Maple Trees

However, out-of-the-box magento doesn’t support settings a category as the ‘main’ category for a product (or at least I don’t think it does?)

The problems this causes is with things like our product feeds.

For our google feed, for example, we want to only give the ‘main’ category the product is listed in, but when the feed generates, it currently selects any of the categories it’s in.

I guess we could write some code to do this, but I was just wondering if I was missing something built in (or perhaps an extension that offers this functionality already?)

Magento cost to Upgrade from 2.4.4 to 2.4.7

Currently our website is 2.4.4 and there are quite few customization that are often problematic. Our developers just gave us an estimate for this incremental upgrade, estimated to cost apprx $35,000 for the upgrade PLUS another $15,000 for other aspects (setup, cleanup, project management, testing, QA , etc.). We are flabbergasted as we recently upgraded to 2.4.4 and the cost was similar. Can anyone, developers, comment on why this incremental upgrade would cost $50,000? The SOW does not include the number of hours. Has anyone performed this upgrade yet?
