Open Source, Open Potential

Many Adobe Commerce merchants are feeling growing pressure. Licensing fees keep rising, often without added value, while the ecosystem becomes more restrictive. Vendor lock-in and cloud hosting requirements reduce control over technology, budgets, and long-term plans. Combined with slow innovation and a platform direction that doesn’t always match real business needs, it’s no surprise some merchants are questioning whether Adobe Commerce is still the right fit.

If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. We’ve helped merchants move from Adobe Commerce to Magento Open Source, keeping what works, removing unnecessary costs, and gaining a more flexible, future-proof foundation. You don’t have to accept rising costs or limitations. There is a better path forward.

Why Transition Makes Sense?

Switching to Magento Open Source opens the door to greater flexibility, without sacrificing the power your business relies on. It’s a strategic shift toward a future defined by efficiency and full ownership. Instead of adapting your business to fit a restrictive ecosystem, you regain the ability to shape your platform around your needs, not the other way around.

Greater Flexibility & Customization

Gain the freedom to shape your platform your way, with the ability to adapt, extend, and innovate without unnecessary limitations.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Cut long-term expenses by removing licensing fees and reducing maintenance costs, creating a more efficient eCommerce foundation.

True Ownership and Future-Proofing

Stay in control of your technology by avoiding vendor lock-in and ensuring your platform can grow, evolve, and remain sustainable on your own terms.

TIRED OF ENTERPRISE RESTRICTIONS?

Let’s plan your migration to Magento Open Source.

Our Migration Approach

Functionality Audit & Replacement Strategy

One of the biggest concerns for merchants during this migration is understanding how to handle the Adobe Commerce enterprise features they’ve come to depend on. To address this, we begin with a functionality audit to precisely identify all exclusive features your business relies on.

Following this, we transition to feature parity planning, where we execute a replacement roadmap, guiding you toward the best Open Source alternatives, vetted community extensions, or the development of custom solutions to seamlessly fill any identified functional gaps.

Data Integrity & SEO Preservation

Protecting your store’s history and visibility is just as important as moving the platform itself. To guarantee data integrity & SEO preservation, we ensure all critical data (products, customers, orders, and their complex relationships) is cleanly migrated and optimized for the Magento Open Source structure.

Furthermore, our SEO-First Migration approach protects your organic rankings by preserving all essential SEO metadata, meticulously managing URL rewrites, and implementing crucial 301 redirects from the very beginning of the project.

Codebase Decoupling & Optimization

Maintaining a clean, lean foundation is essential for long-term stability and performance. We conduct a thorough and systematic cleaning of your entire codebase, strategically removing all proprietary dependencies, licensing hooks, and legacy Adobe Commerce modules that are no longer necessary in the Open Source environment.

This crucial process eliminates technical bloat and reduces complexity, resulting in a significantly lighter, faster, and more performant application that is easier to maintain and update in the long term.

The Future is Open: Beyond the Data Migration

Migrating to Magento Open Source sets you up with a lighter, more flexible foundation that’s easier to innovate on. With the platform opened up (in cost, control, and customization), merchants often use this moment to take meaningful next steps that strengthen their store for the long term.

One of the steps we highly recommend during the migration process is adopting the Hyvä Theme: a modern, lightweight frontend that delivers dramatically faster load times and a far more streamlined development experience compared to legacy Magento themes. And now that Hyvä Theme is fully open-source, you gain all the advantages of a cutting-edge frontend framework with zero licensing fees, making it an ideal complement to the cost-efficient future you unlock with Magento Open Source.

FAQ

We know that migrating off Adobe Commerce comes with a lot of questions and often, the unknowns can feel more stressful than the migration itself. Every store is different, every setup has history, and it’s normal to wonder what will happen to your data, your features, or your day-to-day operations. To help you feel confident and fully informed, we’ve answered the most common questions merchants ask during this transition.

What is the main difference between Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source?

Adobe Commerce is a paid, enterprise-level platform, while Magento Open Source is free to use and community-supported. Adobe Commerce includes advanced built-in features, whereas Magento Open Source provides a solid core eCommerce framework that you extend through custom development and extensions.

Why do businesses migrate from Adobe Commerce to Magento Open Source?

Common reasons include:

  • High cost of Adobe Commerce licenses and overall TCO
  • Reduced reliance on features they no longer use
  • Transition to a composable or more modular tech stack

Many merchants find that with the right extensions and hosting, Magento Open Source can support their needs without the recurring enterprise fees.

What features will I lose access to when switching to Magento Open Source?

You lose access to Adobe Commerce’s exclusive enterprise features, such as:

  • B2B Suite (company accounts, shared catalogs, requisition lists, quotes)
  • Returns Management
  • Reward Points
  • Store Credits
  • Gift Cards
How do I replace the lost enterprise features?

Most enterprise features can be replaced using:

  • Third-party extensions (e.g., B2B, search, merchandising, reporting)
  • Custom development tailored to your business workflows

This composable approach can be cheaper and more flexible than Adobe Commerce’s bundled solutions.

Can Magento Open Source support my current traffic and business scale?

Yes, if properly hosted and optimized. Magento Open Source runs the same core engine as Adobe Commerce. The ability to scale depends on:

  • Infrastructure setup
  • Database optimization
  • Code quality and extensions

Large, high-traffic stores successfully run on Magento Open Source with the right infrastructure.

Does losing Adobe’s support impact security?

You’ll still receive Magento Open Source security patches, but you’ll rely on your development team or hosting provider. With proper upkeep, security remains strong.
