Magento and Adobe Commerce.
Same platform. Same engineers.
Adobe acquired Magento in 2018 and rebranded Magento Commerce as Adobe Commerce in 2021. The codebase, the certifications, and the developer skills are continuous. If you've heard of "Magento" but you're hiring for "Adobe Commerce" — you're hiring the same engineers. IWD holds active Adobe Commerce Developer Plus, Solution Specialist, and Architect certifications across our entire engineering bench.
Magento Open Source still exists as the free, community-supported version. Adobe Commerce is the paid enterprise tier with B2B features, Adobe Sensei AI, and Adobe Commerce Cloud hosting included.
Adobe Commerce vs Magento Open Source
| Adobe Commerce | Magento Open Source | |
|---|---|---|
| License | Paid (Adobe) | Free |
| B2B features | Included (company accounts, quoting, contract pricing) | Add-on or custom build |
| Support | Adobe + partner | Community + partner |
| Hosting | Adobe Commerce Cloud or self-hosted | Self-hosted only |
| Best for | $10M+ B2B and B2C enterprise | Mid-market with engineering capacity |
Most IWD enterprise clients run Adobe Commerce. Mid-market clients sometimes start on Magento Open Source and migrate to Adobe Commerce as they hit scale. For B2B builds with company accounts and contract pricing, Adobe Commerce is the right starting point.
Adobe Commerce migration playbook
For brands migrating to Adobe Commerce from Magento 1, Shopify, BigCommerce, or custom platforms, IWD runs a five-phase playbook.
Typical timeline: 12 to 20 weeks for mid-market merchants, 20 to 32 weeks for enterprise with complex catalog and integrations. The longest pole in the tent is usually integration testing, not the migration itself. See our Adobe Commerce migration services page for the full scope.
