Stores we have built and run
A Magento upgrade service moves your store from an older 2.4.x release to a supported one, today Adobe Commerce 2.4.9, without breaking extensions, integrations or checkout. The work covers the server stack (PHP 8.5, MySQL 8.4 or MariaDB 12.3, OpenSearch 3, Valkey 9), every extension and your custom code, tested on staging first.

Is this right for you?
A good fit if- Your store runs 2.4.4, 2.4.5 or 2.4.6, which are past standard support
- You are on 2.4.7 and standard support ends on May 31, 2027
- Your hosting cannot run PHP 8.5 or the newer database yet
- Previous upgrades broke extensions or took too long
Probably not the right fit if- You are on Magento 1 or 2.3: that is closer to a rebuild, see migrations
- You plan to leave Magento within a year: compare the cost first
What you receive- Upgrade audit with extension compatibility list

Questions before you book
Frequently asked questions
Will my store go offline during the upgrade?
All work happens on staging. The live switch is a short planned maintenance window, usually minutes.
Do I need new hosting for 2.4.9?
Often the server needs PHP 8.5 and MySQL 8.4 or MariaDB 12.3. We check this in the audit and can handle the server changes.
Can I go straight from 2.4.6 to 2.4.9?
Stores on 2.4.6 or older usually upgrade in two steps, through 2.4.8, so each step can be tested.
How much does an upgrade cost?
It depends mainly on the number of extensions and the amount of custom code. After the free audit you get a fixed price before work starts.
Which Magento versions are still supported?
See our release tracker for current dates. As of November 2026, 2.4.7, 2.4.8 and 2.4.9 are in standard support; 2.4.6 is in extended support.
What happens if I do not upgrade?
Unsupported versions stop receiving regular security patches, and payment providers, extensions and hosting gradually drop support for old PHP and database versions.
What do you need from our team during the upgrade?
Access to the code repository and a staging server, your extension list, and someone to test key business flows on staging before release. We only ask for the access the upgrade needs.
What if an extension vendor has no 2.4.9 version?
We find a maintained alternative, patch the module, or replace it with a small custom module, and agree the choice with you before release.
