PAIN POINTS

Why businesses are walking away from Adobe Commerce

Adobe Commerce is a capable platform. But for a lot of mid-size stores, the Adobe Commerce pricing model simply does not match the value they are getting day to day.

License fees eating margin

Adobe Commerce licenses can run $22,000–$125,000/year depending on revenue tier — before any development costs.

Features you don't use

B2B suites, advanced staging, and enterprise tooling are built into the price — even when your store doesn't need them.

Vendor lock-in frustration

Dependence on Adobe's roadmap, mandatory upgrades, and limited flexibility in a platform you can't truly own.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Adobe Commerce to Magento Open Source migration

1. Will my SEO rankings be affected?
We understand that your SEO ranking matters a lot to you and we consider it through this whole migration process thus, you don’t need to worry as we implement full 301 redirect mapping and preserve your meta data, canonical tags, structured data, internal linking and sitemaps. We also run a post-launch SEO audit to confirm your rankings are stable before we close the project. Moreover, just to ensure you minor fluctuations are normal in this whole process so most businesses retain their rankings and often benefit from improved site speed and Core Web Vitals.
Yes. We migrate your existing theme to Magento Open Source. If your theme uses Adobe Commerce-exclusive components, we rebuild those to be functionally identical using standard Magento 2 tools or Hyvä.
Our audit identifies every Adobe Commerce-exclusive feature in your store. For each one, we recommend a Magento Marketplace extension, a custom build, or a process alternative and you decide which route before any work starts.
Most stores are done in 4 to 8 weeks from project start to go-live. The main variable is complexity like number of custom extensions, order volume, and integrations. Your project scope will include a firm timeline.
No. We ensure that your store will remain fully functional which means your customers can continue browsing and placing orders without interruption because all migration work happens in a parallel staging environment. Moreover, once all the migration process is done including quality assurance, security checks, performance testing, and final approval, we schedule it to go live at peak hours. Furthermore, our developers only switch DNS after full QA sign-off, and the cutover itself typically causes less than 15 minutes of downtime, scheduled during off-peak hours.
