Magento and Adobe Commerce Upgrades Without the Surprises
Version upgrades touch extensions, themes, and custom code. We audit what will break first, plan the upgrade path, and test everything in staging before it reaches production.
Adobe Commerce Certified | Hyvä Partner
Adobe's support windows keep moving. Your upgrade plan should move with them.
Magento 2.4.5 and 2.4.6 reached end of support on August 11, 2026, and older releases lose security patches on a fixed schedule. Staying current is a security and compliance task as much as a feature one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Magento upgrade take?
It depends on how many extensions and how much custom code you run. A relatively clean store can often upgrade in weeks; heavily customized stores usually need a longer audit and testing cycle. The audit gives you a firm timeline.
Should we upgrade in place or rebuild?
It depends mostly on custom code and extension health. A clean install usually upgrades in place. A store with years of accumulated modules is often cheaper to rebuild, and we'll tell you which applies before you commit.
Can we upgrade without taking the store offline?
Usually yes. The upgrade is rehearsed in staging, and the production cutover is planned to keep downtime to a short, agreed window.
Not Sure Which Version You're On or What an Upgrade Would Break?
Start with a Magento Health Check. It shows your version status, extension risks, and performance baseline before you plan the upgrade.
