We have spent the last few months mostly on development. Our Magento modules are now collected on one page, and there are 103 of them, from shipping and payments to marketing and B2B. Four have also passed Adobe's review and are now on the official Adobe Commerce Marketplace: Pošta Slovenije, HUB-3, DPD and Sales Proof.
Why we started building our own Magento modules
We have been installing modules from other developers for our clients for years. Over time we realised that our own modules could be quite different from theirs, in two ways.
Modules you cannot get anywhere else
Most modules are built for the American or German market. For a Slovenian or Croatian shop, a lot simply does not exist. There was no modern solution for Pošta Slovenije, the UPN QR payment slip or the Croatian HUB-3, so we built them ourselves.
Fewer bugs, less fixing
The even bigger reason is quality. We find bugs in the code of almost every module we buy, and fixing them for a client takes a lot of time. Sometimes the fixes take more work than the module cost. That kind of work is hard to estimate up front and even harder to bill fairly.
That is why we test our modules thoroughly before release. Most were built for real client shops and ran live there before they reached the list. Each one has its own page with a description, a user guide and a version history. You buy it with a one-time licence, with no monthly subscription.
How Adobe reviews a module
Not every module makes it onto Adobe Commerce Marketplace. Adobe first runs an automated check of the code against Magento's coding and security standards. It then installs the module on a clean store with the latest Magento. There it runs in production mode and is checked with Varnish caching.
Next come automated tests that make sure the module does not break the cart, the checkout or other core parts of the store. A tester then tries it by hand, the way a merchant would use it. Finally, they review the description and the user guide to confirm they say exactly what the module does.
It did not pass without changes. The manual review ran on a store in US dollars. We had to show more clearly when the payment method appears at all. We also revised the descriptions. A few weeks passed between submission and release, and the result is a module that someone else has checked independently.
Pošta Slovenije: parcel lockers and labels
The module connects the store to Pošta Slovenije, from the checkout to the label. At checkout the customer chooses home delivery, a post office, a parcel locker, a petrol station or a Direct4me box. They find the pickup point on a map by name, street or postcode.
The list of pickup points is refreshed every night from Pošta's official source, so the checkout never waits for it. In the admin you select several orders at once and the module sends them to eSpremnica. You get all labels in a single PDF and tracking numbers on the orders. Cash on delivery is supported too.

HUB-3 payment slip (Croatia)
HUB-3 is the Croatian counterpart of our UPN QR and is meant for shops that sell to Croatia. After the order, the customer gets a HUB-3A barcode and scans it with their banking app. IBAN, amount, reference and purpose fill in by themselves, so nothing needs to be retyped.
Customers who prefer to pay at a bank or post office can print a filled-in payment slip as a PDF. On newer Magento versions it is attached to the order email. The barcode follows the official specification of the Croatian banks, and Croatian characters stay correct.
More on the HUB-3 payment slip (Croatia) page.
DPD: parcel lockers and labels
At checkout the customer chooses DPD and decides between delivery to an address and pickup. They find a parcel locker or ParcelShop in the official DPD picker with a map. The chosen point is saved on the order.
In the admin you select several orders in the order grid and choose "DPD: create shipments". The module registers the parcels through EasyShip and adds the parcel numbers as tracking. "DPD: print labels" gives you all labels in one PDF, and you can book the courier from the same grid. You no longer need a separate portal.

Sales Proof: urgency and scarcity cues
Shoppers often hesitate because they do not know if a product is popular or about to sell out. The module tells them, using real data from the store. Short cues rotate under the buy button. They show how many were sold in recent days, how many people are viewing the product and how many are left in stock.
Nothing is made up. There are no countdown timers, numbers are never rounded up, and customer names are never shown. On Adobe Marketplace it is called Sales Proof Notifications, and on our site Urgency and scarcity cues.
More modules are already in review
Several more modules are in review at Adobe, among them UPN QR and an Advent calendar. Once they are released, you will recognise them on our list by the "Available on Adobe Commerce Marketplace" badge.
