Magento is one of the most popular and fastest growing e-commerce systems worldwide. To use this open-source system in Germany, numerous extensions need to be installed and the entire system must be configured properly. This is not only tedious but also very complicated and time consuming due to often changing legal rules and regulations.

This is where Magento DE helps. The system has been prepared for the German market to make working with Magento easy and hassle-free. All necessary extensions are already installed and the system is fully configured so you don’t have to worry about any of that. In addition to that, Magento DE is official Trusted Shops Shopsoftware Partner.

The Magento DE installations file contains the complete version of the Magento community edition as well as a set of the most important extensions and moduls for the german market. The setup process guides you carefully to a ready to start and localised Magento-edition.
