Optimize the code
Magento is crazily resource intensive.
Large numbers of queries are executed that don't use indexes, and commands aren't concatenated that could be (which stops database servers from taking advantage of internal optimizations.)
A large push on optimizing code would be very much appreciated and increasingly needed.2,132 votes -
Edit order without creating a new one
Wouldn't it be nice to edit an order without having to create a new one, or just quickly edit the shipping address?

Switch from Prototype to jQuery
This would be a pretty extensive change to the code, but needed if Magento is to stay fresh. jQuery is a much more robust and easy to use framework than Prototype, not to mention that it is much more actively developed for. Community support for jQuery far outweighs support for Prototype.

Document the system properly
Not just for end users, but also for developers. And keep this documentation up to date so we don't waste crazy amounts of time trying to figure stuff out based on out of date information

Gift Certificates/Gift Cards for community edition
Allow customers to purchase physical (physical card mailed to recipient) and virtual (code provided via email
to recipient) gift certificates/cards. Customers can include a personal message when purchasing, and recipients
can use the value to purchase items as credit in the store942 votes -

Custom order statuses
Administrator should be able to create own statuses for orders and determine the rules of their shifts. Good to give the administrator more control over the order (change the status from any to any)

import function that really works
It would be great if the import/export really worked.
Like importing bundle and configurable products.617 votes -
Return Merchandise Authorization
I think a nicely integrated RMA feature would be very helpful for most businesses. The customer should be able to select individual items from their order to RMA, and the admin should be able to approve/deny the RMA and issue RMA numbers from the admin panel to the customer. There should be communication to the customer on the RMA status and instructions on what to do.

Multi-store (language) SEO URLs
Allow SEO URL keys for products to be different per store view - critical for SEO in multi language environments.

Proper international addressing
Magento is developed as a US system. Consequently, it does not cope with international address issues sufficiently.
1. In France the departements are part of the address, in Holland the provinces are not. So in Magento, it should be possible to enable/disable the field "State / province / county".
2. In the US postal code are place behind the city name, in Germany the required position is _in front of_ the city name. This option also needs a checkbox. on a per country basis.
3. The way people are addressed varies widely, from "Dear Bill Clinton" through "Sehr geehrte frau… more

Custom Stock Availability
Actually there is two stock possibility : "in stock" or "out of stock"... It really miss to be able to add a date of new availability or some customs value like "in stock at the supplier", "usually ships in 1 week"... Almost all shop on internet have this option, but not in Magento...

Authorize.net CIM Integration
It would be very helpful if Authorize.net CIM (Customer Information Manager) was integrated with Magento.
This would allow merchants to store sensitive data such as credit cards on Authorize.net secure PCI DSS servers.
Authorize.net CIM integration would allow recurring billing, storing a customer's credit card info for retrieval on future purchases, and retrieval of sensitive data needed fo fraud detection services.

Google Base / Product API User Guide
Such a powerful and should be a simple area of Magento to use and setup, but others (and we too) continually fail to understand:
1 - How to get the most and use this API
2 - Get Magento to keep products onboard at Google for more than 30 Days (or is this a bug?)
3 - To explain to those who don't know, the whole attributes area and minimum requirements from Google, though these do change from time to time.
4 - To provide an alternative output to a FLAT file, should you want to upload a file to… more292 votes -
