Stenik has officially become a Silver Member of the Magento Association - the independent international organization that brings together companies and professionals from the Magento ecosystem. Currently, Stenik is the only Bulgarian eCommerce company that is a member of the Magento Association.
For us, this membership is a natural next step in our long-standing work with the eCommerce platform Magento Open Source. Over the years, we have gained extensive experience in developing, evolving and supporting complex B2C and B2B online stores, created custom modules for the platform, and built a team of certified Magento specialists and experts.
Our membership enables us to stay even closer to the global Magento community and to the knowledge, experience and best practices shared within it, allowing us to implement global best practices in our clients' projects.
What is the Magento Association and what is its mission?
The Magento Association is an independent global organization that brings together the global Magento community and actively contributes to its sustainable development through collaboration among its various participants, knowledge exchange, technology initiatives and innovation. Today, the Association includes more than 3,100 members from 68 countries across 6 continents - developers, eCommerce agencies, technology companies and other professionals.
The organization focuses on initiatives that support Magento's long-term success, including:
- Technology projects aimed at driving innovation in Magento Open Source.
- Community events that encourage collaboration and the exchange of ideas among developers, agencies and other stakeholders.
- Online collaboration and discussions that enable members to freely exchange ideas regardless of their geographical location.
- Training and educational initiatives that support the development of knowledge and skills among Magento users and developers.
- Representing the community's interests to Adobe and collaborating on topics related to the improvement and development of the platform.
As an open-source platform, Magento evolves through the active contributions of the people and companies within its ecosystem, making community participation key to the platform's future.
What value does the membership bring to Stenik's clients?
In eCommerce, technologies are evolving at an exceptionally rapid pace. New architectural approaches, solutions and integrations are emerging, requirements for performance, security and user experience are changing, and AI is opening up new opportunities for online commerce.
In such an environment, accumulated experience is extremely valuable, but it is not sufficient on its own. A technology partner must not only have a strong understanding of the solutions it works with today, but also understand where the ecosystem is heading and which changes can have a genuine impact on its clients' businesses.
This is precisely where we see one of the greatest benefits of our Magento Association membership.
As a Silver Member, we have the opportunity to:
- Actively engage with the global Magento community - developers, agencies and technology partners;
- Access training, resources and know-how that enable us to continue developing our team's expertise;
- Participate and have voting rights within the community and in discussions related to the development and future of Magento Open Source;
- Exchange practical experience and best practices with professionals from different eCommerce markets;
- Participate in Meet Magento events and other collaboration formats;
- Benefit from preferential terms for training, Magento extensions and events.
For us, however, the value lies in the opportunity to benchmark our own experience against practices in other markets, follow the evolution of Magento and the technologies surrounding the platform, identify significant changes in the ecosystem early on, and discover new technologies and best practices that can be applied to our clients' projects.
For an online retailer, technology must solve specific business challenges, enable growth and represent a reliable long-term investment. That is why our role is not simply to follow every new trend, but to assess which elements of global know-how provide genuine value to a specific online retailer and its business, and how they can be adapted to its individual needs and objectives.
Stenik as part of the global Mageno community
Since 2004, we have been helping businesses succeed and grow online by providing local merchants with adapted global solutions and know-how. Magento Open Source plays a key role in the technology solutions we provide to our clients.
Today, our team's expertise covers the full lifecycle of every eCommerce project:
- Full development lifecycle: Over the years, we have built and developed numerous B2C and B2B Magento online stores, and today our team's expertise covers the entire lifecycle of an eCommerce project - from consulting, architecture and UX/UI to development, integrations, optimization and ongoing technical support.
- Team of certified Magento specialists: At Stenik, we have certified Magento specialists with expertise across different areas – developers, software architects, eCommerce consultants, business analysts and project managers.
- Development of custom Magento modules: Based on the know-how we have accumulated over the years, we have developed a range of custom solutions/extensions (plugins, extensions) for Magento that enhance the platform and make it easier to use for both end customers and administrators.
- Active engagement with the international community: We participate in Meet Magento and other international eCommerce events, connect with developers, agencies and technology companies, and closely follow the development of the platform and the innovations surrounding it.
Joining the Magento Association is a logical continuation of this journey - from building and sharing Magento expertise to playing an even more active role in the global ecosystem.
Silver Membership in the Magento Association is another step in our long-term development as a Magento eCommerce company. The membership is also directly aligned with the mission we have followed at Stenik for more than 20 years - to adapt global technology solutions and know-how to the needs of local online retailers and help them become more competitive in the digital economy.
We continue to adapt Magento to the needs of Bulgarian retailers, providing them with stability, tailored solutions and long-term support. Our goal is for the companies that have placed their trust in us to feel fully supported from a software perspective, relying on the right balance of customizations and ready-made solutions, so they can focus on their sales and growth.
