Forum functionality is now available for Open Source eCommerce platform Magento through integration with vBulletin – the major Open Source forum publishing software. The extension that provides close integration between the two platforms was developed and released by AITOC, Inc. this November.

Forums benefit eCommerce business owners:

• by generating free content that helps to drive sales and contributes to SEO;
• by increasing traffic to the web store;
• by adding interactive social element to the web store.
