Adobe Commerce is the paid edition of Magento, sold on-premises, on Adobe's cloud infrastructure or as the SaaS Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service. Pages here cover moving to Magento Open Source, Mage-OS or Shopware.
What Adobe Commerce adds on top of the same Magento codebase, such as the B2B extension, Adobe support and cloud hosting options, against free OSL-3.0 Magento Open Source plus extensions, and how to tell whether your store actually uses the paid features before renewal.
Downgrading an Adobe Commerce store to Magento Open Source on the same codebase: auditing which Commerce-only modules and data are in use, replacing B2B and other paid features with extensions, removing the modules safely, moving hosting off Adobe's cloud and testing before cutover.
Comparing Adobe Commerce with Mage-OS, the community distribution of Magento Open Source run by a nonprofit association: governance and release pace, security patch porting, compatibility with Magento extensions, and the features you give up from the paid edition.
Moving from Adobe Commerce to Mage-OS: first stepping down to Magento Open Source and removing Commerce-only modules, then running the Mage-OS migration script on Magento 2.4.8 or later, testing extensions on staging and keeping the documented rollback ready.
For merchants re-platforming rather than staying on Magento: comparing Adobe Commerce with MIT-licensed Shopware on catalog, B2B features in Shopware's paid plans, self-hosting or Shopware's own cloud, the GMV threshold for the free edition, and the extension ecosystem.
Moving from Adobe Commerce to Shopware: migrating products, customers and orders, mapping attributes and categories, rebuilding extensions and theme work, replacing B2B features, preserving URLs and deciding between self-hosted Community Edition and a paid Shopware plan.
Cost of ownership by component: the Adobe Commerce license and cloud hosting against Magento Open Source or Mage-OS on your own infrastructure, extensions that replace paid features, security patching on Adobe's release cadence, upgrades and the developers who maintain the store.
Adobe Commerce 2.4.6 standard support ends August 2026 and 2.4.7 in May 2027. This page lays out the options at each deadline: upgrading to a supported 2.4 release, moving to Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service, or leaving for Magento Open Source, Mage-OS or Shopware.
Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service is SaaS with a headless storefront, automatic updates after a 30-day sandbox window and no Luma storefront support. This page compares that move with keeping a self-hosted Magento Open Source or Mage-OS store you control and upgrade yourself.
B2B merchants depend on Adobe Commerce company accounts, shared catalogs, negotiable quotes, purchase orders and requisition lists. This page maps each to Magento Open Source extensions, Shopware's paid B2B features or custom work, and flags where no open-source equivalent exists.
