Magenticians is back with another issue of Magento News Weekly, and this time, we have you covered with a lot of holiday-related news and have provided solutions for your ecommerce stores. Let’s dig in!

Holidays bring with themselves the opportunity to earn bigger profits for all ecommerce stores. However, bigger profits also mean a bigger hassle in how you calculate the sales tax. This article from Mark Faggiano, the Founder and CEO of Taxjar, though, will help you optimize your Magento stores for tax collection.

Magento Connect will be a thing of the past on September 15, 2007, even though the date is in the future at the time of writing. This is because all Magento Connect users will be redirected to the Magento Marketplace, which is growing and being adopted at a fast pace.

The holiday season can be fun, but it can also be a huge nightmare when it comes to shipping products. It’s a busy period, and more than 50% of the retailers face hurdles in delivering goods. This article sheds more light on why it is so challenging, and how you can alleviate your shipping pains!
