What is Magento (Adobe Commerce)?

Magento is the most powerful open-source e-commerce platform in the world. Originally created by Roy Rubin and Yoav Kutner in 2008 and acquired by Adobe for $1.68B in 2018 (now branded Adobe Commerce), Magento today powers more than 100,000 live stores including Nike, Ford, Helly Hansen, and Samsung. It is the platform of choice for brands that have outgrown SaaS solutions and need full control over catalog architecture, custom product types, multi-store operations, and B2B workflows. As certified Magento developers with 15+ years of platform experience, we help enterprise retailers, B2B distributors, and global brands get the most out of Magento — both technically and commercially.

Why choose Magento (Adobe Commerce)

Magento is the right platform when you have a catalog over 10,000 SKUs, complex product configurators (think configurable furniture, custom apparel, made-to-order industrial parts), B2B workflows with company accounts and approval rules, or multi-store/multi-currency operations spanning 20+ countries. Magento is also the right call when your engineering team wants full source control — you can modify every line of platform code if you want (though we recommend against that in favor of well-structured modules). The honest answer: Magento is not right for everyone. If you have a catalog under 1,000 SKUs, no complex product configurators, no B2B workflows, and a single market, you will pay 5-10x more for Magento than Shopify or BigCommerce with no upside. We tell clients this directly.

Frequently asked questions about Magento (Adobe Commerce)

How much does Magento cost?

Magento Open Source itself is free (you own it). The cost is in hosting ($1K-$5K/month for production-grade infrastructure), a development team ($300K-$800K/year for a dedicated Magento dev team), and ongoing maintenance. Adobe Commerce (paid enterprise) starts around $22K/year for a single license and scales by GMV.

Should I migrate from Magento to Shopify Plus?

If your catalog is under 10K SKUs, you do not need complex B2B workflows, and your engineering team is small — yes, Shopify Plus will save you 60-80% in TCO over 3 years and dramatically improve time-to-market. If your catalog is larger or B2B is core, stay on Magento (or migrate to BigCommerce B2B Edition).

What is Adobe Commerce B2B?

Adobe Commerce B2B is the official B2B module that adds company accounts, custom catalogs per buyer segment, requisition lists, approval workflows, and PunchOut integration (cXML/OCI) to Magento. Available as an add-on to Adobe Commerce (paid edition).

How long does a Magento implementation take?

A standard Magento implementation with custom theme, 5-10 third-party integrations, and 5K-20K SKUs takes 16-24 weeks. Enterprise projects (50K+ SKUs, multi-store, custom B2B workflows) run 6-12 months. We have shipped 40+ Magento projects and our median time-to-launch is 18 weeks.
