If you affiliate yourself with Magento world, you, for sure, have heard that Magento Connect has been replaced by Magento Marketplace, which was introduced almost 2 years ago and has recently (Sep 2017) become the official Magento-sanctioned repository of extensions.

Magento Connect was a directory for Magento extensions. Many of them were free.

The new Magento Marketplace applies the lessons learned from Magento Connect to offer an improved experience. One of the most important improvements introduced for the Magento Marketplace is comprehensive reviews of submitted extensions.

But at the same time, now, Magento takes a 30% cut of the sale on Marketplace. Further, getting approved takes weeks, sometimes months, or not ever.

Moreover, the huge number of free Magento extensions, previously available on Magento Connect, are beyond your reach on the Marketplace.

Is There a Better Way To Get a Free Magento Extensions?

Even though Magento 2 has been around for quite some time, many eCommerce businesses use Magento 1.x with huge success and are still probably thinking over whether upgrading to Magento 2 is worth their while.

Currently, MageCloud features more than 3000+ free Magento extensions (Magento 1.x mostly) from different Magento providers, that can be added to your store using our unique 1-click-install tool. Integration of the extension takes no more than 10 seconds. You can view more here. 

Let's back to our hot update! 

Since MageCloud was founded, all extensions from our marketplace were available only while using our PaaS. But at long last, we've decided to contribute to Magento community and made possible to download any of Magento extensions directly without any strings attached. 

Browse and download Magento extensions from our Marketplace to easily extend the functionality of your online store!
