Magento & Adobe Commerce Upgrades

Magento upgrade services that move your version forward without breaking the store.

Running an aging Magento version is a quiet bet that nothing goes wrong: security releases stop applying cleanly, extensions drift out of support, and every month makes the eventual jump bigger. We are a senior team of Adobe-certified engineers who plan, rehearse, and ship Magento 2 upgrades on staging first, so your store moves to the current version while customers keep buying. From a single version bump to a full Magento 1 to Magento 2 replatform, the upgrade is scoped, tested, and reversible before it ever touches production.

When staying on an old version has become the bigger risk.

Nobody postpones a Magento upgrade because they want to. They postpone it because the last one broke checkout, or because nobody can say for sure what the extensions will do, or because the store cannot afford a weekend offline. So the version ages, the patches pile up, and the gap keeps widening. Our Magento upgrade services exist to end that standoff: a scoped, rehearsed, reversible upgrade run by the same senior engineers who handle our Magento maintenance retainers, so the move forward stops being the thing you are afraid of. Between upgrades, our Magento support services keep the store patched, monitored, and moving.

What our upgrade services cover

Every piece the version touches, handled by one senior team.

A Magento upgrade is never just the core. It is the extensions, the theme, the PHP stack, the integrations, and the SEO you have built up, all of which can break if the upgrade is treated as a version bump instead of a project. We scope all of it up front, and for stores with complex catalogs our Magento B2B solutions team makes sure pricing, quoting, and account workflows survive the move intact.

Upgrade or replatform

Move the version forward, or move the store entirely.

Every merchant on an old Magento version eventually asks the same question: do we upgrade in place, or is this the moment to replatform? There is no universal answer, but there is a right answer for your store, and it falls out of the same audit either way. Here is how we think about the decision before any code moves.

Upgrade in place

If you are on Magento 2 and the platform still fits the business, upgrading is almost always the faster, cheaper, lower-risk move. Your catalog structure, customizations, integrations, and team knowledge all carry forward, and the work is bounded: core version, extensions, theme, and stack. Most of the stores we audit fall into this bucket, even ones that arrived convinced they needed to start over. A store several releases behind is usually a few rehearsed jumps away from current, not a rebuild.

Usually right when
  • You are on Magento 2 and the platform fits how you sell
  • Customizations and integrations are worth preserving
  • The pain is version age, not the platform itself
Replatform

Sometimes the version is not the real problem. If you are still on Magento 1, a replatform is unavoidable, since M1 has been end of life since 2020 and there is no supported path forward on it. And if years of patches have left the codebase more workaround than platform, or the business has outgrown what the store was built for, the honest answer may be a fresh build on current Adobe Commerce or another platform. The audit tells you which situation you are in, and we will tell you plainly if the cheaper option is the right one.

Usually right when
  • You are on Magento 1, where no supported path remains
  • The codebase is too compromised to carry forward
  • The business has outgrown the original build

Not sure which side you are on? A Magento code audit answers it with evidence: version state, extension health, codebase quality, and a plain-language recommendation either way.

Why IWD

Upgrades go wrong when they are treated as a version bump instead of a project.

Most failed Magento upgrades share the same story: someone ran the upgrade on production, an extension conflict took down checkout, and the rollback was improvised at 2am. We built our process to make that story impossible. Everything is rehearsed on staging, every extension and theme conflict is resolved before deploy, and the rollback is tested before it is ever needed. We have been doing this since 2008, across hundreds of stores, and the upgrade your team is dreading is a normal week for ours.

  • Upgrades without the downtime

    We rehearse every upgrade on a staging copy, regression-test your critical paths, and deploy in a planned low-traffic window. Customers keep buying while the version moves underneath them.

  • Adobe-certified, senior only

    Our engineers hold Adobe Commerce certifications, and there is no junior bench. The people who scope your upgrade are the people who execute it.

  • Compatibility found before launch

    We audit every theme, extension, and integration up front and fix version conflicts on staging, so they never become launch-day problems.

  • Since the earliest versions

    We have worked with Magento for 16+ years, since before it became Adobe Commerce. Over 300 brands and $10B+ in client GMV have run on stores we have built and upgraded.

How we work

A clear path from aging version to current, without the drama.

A safe Magento upgrade is a sequence, not an event. We find the risk first, plan around it, do the work where it cannot hurt you, and only then touch production, with a tested way back at every step.

01

Audit

We review your current version, codebase, extensions, integrations, and infrastructure, then document exactly what the upgrade touches and where the risk lives.

02

Plan

You get a fixed scope and a sequenced plan: what gets upgraded, what gets replaced, what the deploy window looks like, and what the rollback path is if anything goes wrong.

03

Upgrade

The work happens on a staging copy of your store. We upgrade the core, resolve extension and theme conflicts, update the stack, and regression-test against your real catalog and checkout.

04

Verify

We deploy in a planned low-traffic window, run the full QA pass against the live store, monitor closely after launch, and stay on call until everything is confirmed stable.

Questions, answered

What merchants ask before they trust us with an upgrade.

The questions we hear most before an upgrade is scoped. If yours isn't here, just ask.

How long does a Magento upgrade take?

It depends on how far behind you are and how customized the store is. A minor version move on a clean codebase can be done in a few weeks; a store several releases behind with heavy customization and many extensions takes longer. The pre-upgrade audit gives you a real timeline before any work starts, so you are never guessing.

Can you upgrade Magento without taking the store down?

Yes, and it is the core of how we work. The entire upgrade is built and tested on a staging copy of your store, then deployed in a planned low-traffic window with a tested rollback ready. Customers keep shopping while the version changes underneath them.

Do you handle Magento 1 to Magento 2 upgrades?

Yes. Magento 1 reached end of life in 2020, which means no more security patches and growing PCI exposure every month you stay on it. An M1 to M2 move is a replatform rather than a version bump, and we handle the full job: data migration, theme rebuild, extension replacement, and integration rework.

What breaks most often during a Magento upgrade?

Third-party extensions and theme customizations, by a wide margin. Modules that override core code or were abandoned by their vendors tend to fail on the new version, and older themes often break visually or functionally. That is why we audit every extension and the theme before the upgrade starts, so conflicts are resolved on staging instead of discovered in production.

Will our extensions survive the upgrade?

Most will, some will not, and the audit tells you which is which before you commit. For each module we confirm a compatible release, patch it, or recommend a replacement, and we flag anything abandoned that has quietly become a security risk. Nothing gets carried into the new version untested.

How do you quote a Magento upgrade?

We scope it from the audit, not from a guess: your current version, the size of the jump, the extension and integration list, and how customized the codebase is. You get a firm, itemized quote with a timeline before anything begins, not an open-ended hourly estimate that grows mid-project.
