A Magento alternative, and the move done for you

Magento 2 as a whole has no end-of-life date. Each release line does. Adobe gives every 2.4.x line three years of standard support from its release, and some lines a further year of extended support. Once a line is out of support it gets no more security patches, so staying safe means upgrading every few years, with every extension and customisation along for the ride. Magento 1 reached its end on 30 June 2020.

If your shop depends on several store views, B2B quoting or a specific integration, Magento may still be the right tool. We are in open beta, and we would rather you stayed than moved to something that does less than you need.

• Scale and complexity. Large catalogues, several websites and store views, complex pricing and B2B in Adobe Commerce.
• Extensions. Something exists for almost every integration, ERP and carrier you can name.
• Control. On Open Source you hold the code and the server and can change anything.
• Maturity. Years of very large production shops and a deep pool of agencies.

The same holds if you are looking for an Adobe Commerce alternative, with a licence fee in the balance as well. If you are weighing Magento vs Shopify instead, our Shopify comparison covers that, and the pricing page has the sums for every level of sales.

• No upgrade cycle. No PHP version, no release line, no extension that breaks on the next patch.
• A predictable bill. Free costs €0 a month and 2% of sales; Pro costs €49 and 0.5%, never more than €499 a month. Hosting and every feature are included.
• Your own payment account. The shop charges your Stripe, PayPal or Mollie account, so the money goes straight to you.
• Run it by talking to it. Ask for a sale on a collection; see every price it would change; confirm; undo in one click if you change your mind.
• European by default. Five dashboard languages, prices in euro, and certified invoices in Portugal through your InvoiceXpress account.

The move runs on one readable file you put on your Magento 2 server. It reads the database directly, on both the Open Source and the Adobe Commerce layouts, pushes your shop across, and its first run is a dry run that counts everything and writes nothing. Your database credentials never leave your server.

• Comes across: categories as collections, products with their variants on the same option axes, prices, special prices, stock and up to twelve images each, customers, order history as records, promotions with their coupon codes, and Magefan blog posts when the Blog plugin is on.
• Keeps working: URL keys become handles, so /wool-coat.html becomes /wool-coat, and old order numbers still find their orders.
• Stays behind: CMS pages and blocks, reviews, wishlists, addresses, newsletter consent, store-view overrides, custom redirects, and tax, shipping and payment settings, which take a few minutes each to set up fresh.
• Customers' passwords cannot be moved, so each customer sets a new one the first time they sign in.

1. 1

   Ask for it

   Leave your name, email and shop address on the Magento page. A person writes back within a working day.

2. 2

   We run it

   Someone on our side runs the dry run, then the import, and checks what came across.

3. 3

   You check it

   Products, collections, customers, orders and promotions, in a shop you can open before anyone else sees it.

4. 4

   You go live

   Pick a theme, add your payment keys and point your domain. Nothing imported changes when you do.
