The year is ending, and the Amasty team proudly looks back on all the achievements and challenges of 2024. This year, the vision that drove us forward was the focus on improving our products and laying the groundwork for a more inclusive and forward-thinking e-commerce industry. Join us as we highlight some of Amasty's standout milestones from 2024!

Leading the Way with Hyvä Compatibility

In 2024, we expanded our Hyvä-ready product lineup to 160+ modules and brought 130+ Magento extensions into full compatibility with Hyvä Checkout. These numbers straightforwardly convey our aspiration to maintain leadership in Hyvä compliance among Magento developers.

As we’ve shared during this year’s joined webinar, Amasty continues to be a strong advocate of Hyvä tech – a performance-first solution that brings in both speed and usability. We’re excited about Hyvä Commerce and are looking forward to contributing to its growth!

Ensuring Accessibility and Security Compliance

With the European Accessibility Act (EAA 2025) on the horizon, we’re tackling the challenge of e-commerce inclusivity. Our work this year helped even more of our Magento modules fully meet accessibility standards for both Luma and Hyvä themes. Some modules had their compliance enhanced, while others achieved ADA/WCAG compliance for the very first time. 

In Q4 2024, we also introduced a completely revamped Stripe Payment Magento 2 module, designed to align with Stripe’s latest security requirements and industry standards. This updated module ensures full compliance with enhanced authentication protocols, providing merchants and customers with a secure and seamless transaction experience.

Competing with Adobe in B2B E-commerce

This year, Amasty Gold sponsored Meet Commerce Spain in Barcelona, where we unveiled a project we’re incredibly proud of. Our B2B E-commerce Premium Solution for Magento 2 is made to simplify complex processes and enrich customer interactions, reshaping how B2B businesses operate. Fully compatible with Hyvä Theme, it’s fast, intuitive, and easily scalable.

Our team is convinced that the revamped B2B Suite offers a solid and cost-effective alternative to Adobe Commerce B2B. Feeling skeptical? Check out how our Suite compares to Adobe’s.

Boosting the Performance of Magento Extensions

Knowing that even the smallest changes can drive significant results for our customers, we strive to deliver tools that work better, faster, and smoother. Over the year, we’ve improved the performance of many Amasty modules. Here are some of the extensions that received the most significant performance upgrades :

Turning Feedback into New Solutions

We’ve always believed innovation starts with listening, and some of our favorite projects this year came directly from customer feedback. When customers asked for a Recently Viewed Products Popup, we made it – and made it free! Here are some other products developed in response to your requests:

Our focus on customer needs also motivated us to integrate Amasty service into our ChatGPT AI Content Generator. For all subscribers of our ChatGPT module, we made this service 100% free.

Supporting the Magento Community

During 2024, Amasty transitioned our subscription payment processing to Adyen, a payment processor renowned for its robust security and great integration capabilities. This migration has provided merchants and agencies with a dependable, scalable payment solution.

We also enhanced our Magento Checkout support services, prioritizing faster issue resolution and reducing potential disruptions. Our team knows that Checkout issues can significantly impact customer transactions and ensures that these issues are addressed immediately.

Moreover, as active members of the Magento ecosystem, Amasty proudly supported and took part in the Magento Association Board Elections 2024. During the campaign, we reiterated that successful communities are built through collaboration and that diverse representation is key to shaping the future of Magento.

Catering to Shopify, Wix, and Ecwid Users

Over the year, we introduced 11 new apps for Shopify, Wix, and Ecwid. These solutions – ranging from bulk image management to social media tools – are designed to help merchants simplify operations and boost sales. Follow the links to discover more information about each app:

Along with delivering new solutions, we also significantly improved our FeedFusion for Shopify app. The upgrade has introduced integrations with Google Merchant Center and Facebook Business, letting sellers create and seamlessly upload their feeds.

This year, our efforts on platforms other than Magento have been gaining due recognition as well. MagicAI for Shopify and PicManager: Image Uploader have earned the prestigious Built for Shopify status, which serves as proof of a high-quality solution that aligns with key industry standards. 

Next year, we hope to achieve this status with even more of our Shopify apps. New tools – like the Sales Blast Countdown Timer solution for Wix – are also underway.

Looking Ahead: Goals for 2025 and Beyond

This year taught us that every improvement, no matter how small, matters. And next year, we’re aiming even higher with ambitious goals:

  • Enhancing Product Features – The Amasty team will continue developing new functionality and improving existing module features to better meet our clients’ needs.
  • Optimizing Performance and Quality Through fixing bugs and ensuring stable updates, we aim to reduce the impact of our modules on load times and store performance.
  • Ensuring Accessibility Compliance – In 2025, we’ll make sure that even more Amasty extensions meet ADA & WCAG standards, thus simplifying legal compliance for store owners.
  • Expanding Hyvä Compatibility – We remain committed to achieving full compatibility of the Amasty catalog with the Hyvä Theme and Hyvä Checkout.
  • Driving Innovation in E-commerce Naturally, we’ll keep creating more new products to boost our clients’ sales, optimize business processes, and enhance user experience.

We’re excited about the road ahead and grateful for everyone who has supported us this year. Together, let’s make 2025 a year of bold ideas, shared growth, and solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible in e-commerce.

Thank you for being part of this journey so far
and here's to a successful 2025!
