Adobe Commerce

Adobe Commerce, formerly known as Magento, is a comprehensive enterprise-grade e-commerce platform that empowers businesses to create, manage, and scale online stores with advanced customization capabilities. As part of Adobe's Experience Cloud suite, it combines robust e-commerce functionality with powerful marketing, analytics, and content management tools to deliver personalized shopping experiences across multiple channels. The platform serves businesses of all sizes, from mid-market companies to large enterprises, offering both cloud-hosted and on-premise deployment options. Originally founded as Magento in 2008, the platform was acquired by Adobe Systems in 2018 for $1.68 billion, marking Adobe's strategic entry into the e-commerce space. The acquisition integrated Magento's e-commerce capabilities with Adobe's existing marketing and analytics tools, creating a unified digital commerce solution. Today, Adobe Commerce powers thousands of online stores globally across various industries including retail, fashion, consumer goods, manufacturing, and B2B sectors, processing billions of dollars in gross merchandise value annually. The platform is built on open-source technology with PHP and MySQL at its core, offering extensive customization through its modular architecture and vast marketplace of extensions. Adobe Commerce provides two main editions: Magento Open Source (free, community-supported) and Adobe Commerce (premium, enterprise solution with cloud infrastructure and advanced features). The platform emphasizes flexibility, scalability, and omnichannel capabilities, enabling businesses to manage multiple stores, currencies, and languages from a single admin interface while delivering seamless shopping experiences across web, mobile, social, and physical touchpoints.
