Getting started
MageDrop lets you stage, preview and deploy content changes to your Magento store. Instead of editing content live and hoping for the best, you group your changes into releases, preview them together, and deploy when you're ready.
What you'll need
- A Magento 2 store running Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce 2.4.6 or later, on PHP 8.2 or later.
- Admin and shell access to install the companion module and create the API integration.
- A MageDrop account. Sign up for free.
How it works
MageDrop has two parts:
- The MageDrop dashboard (this website), where you create releases, set schedules and review staged changes.
- The Magento module (MageDrop_Magento2), a lightweight companion module installed on your store with Composer. It adds a MageDrop button to the CMS page, CMS block, category and product edit forms for staging and previewing changes, and exposes the endpoints MageDrop deploys through.
The module sends only the changed fields (deltas) to MageDrop. There is no database sync and no copy of your catalog: your store's data stays on your server.
Quick start
- Connect your Magento store: add your store URL and API credentials.
- Install the companion module with Composer and paste in your module token.
- Create your first release: give it a name and, optionally, a schedule.
- Stage some changes: edit content in the Magento admin and choose Save & Stage.
- Preview every change together on your storefront.
- Deploy the whole release with one click, or let the schedule do it.
What can you stage?
| Entity | What you can change |
|---|---|
| CMS pages | Title, content (Page Builder), meta data, layout, status |
| CMS blocks | Title, content, status |
| Categories | Every attribute (name, description, custom attributes such as navigation colours), image and thumbnail, design settings, and the products in the category, per store view |
| Products | Every attribute, the media gallery (images, labels, roles, hidden images), customizable options, tier prices, related, up-sell and cross-sell links, category and website assignments, and configurable child links, per store view |
Stock, bundle options and downloadable links are not staged; change those in Magento as usual. See What can be staged for the full list.
