What is the difference between Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce?

They share a core. Adobe Commerce adds licensed features such as B2B company accounts, advanced content staging, customer segmentation, and Adobe support. Open Source covers many catalogues well and costs no licence fee. We help you weigh the licence against building only the pieces you genuinely need.

We are still on Magento 1 — is that a problem?

Magento 1 reached end of life in June 2020, so it receives no official security patches. It is a genuine risk rather than a theoretical one. We migrate Magento 1 stores to Magento 2, handling catalogue and order data, replacing extensions that no longer exist, and keeping the old store trading until the new one is proven.

Can you build custom modules without breaking upgrades?

Yes, and that is the point. We use plugins, observers, preferences, and service contracts rather than editing core files, and manage everything through Composer. Extension conflicts usually come from two modules intercepting the same method, so we audit the interception chain before writing code, not after a release fails.

Our Magento store is slow. Can you fix it?

Usually, yes. We look at the common causes first: Redis for cache and sessions, Varnish full-page caching, indexers left in update-on-save, missing flat catalogue or Elasticsearch tuning, and third-party modules loading on every request. We profile before changing anything so the fix addresses the real bottleneck.

Can Magento handle very large catalogues and multiple stores?

Yes. Magento is built for large SKU counts, complex pricing, and multi-store setups with shared or separate catalogues, currencies, and languages. The work is in the architecture — attribute sets, indexer strategy, and search configuration — which is where an experienced developer earns their keep on a big catalogue.

Do you support Magento B2B requirements?

Yes. Company accounts, shared catalogues, negotiable quotes, purchase orders, and tiered pricing are available in Adobe Commerce, and much of it can be built on Open Source where a licence is not warranted. We start from your ordering and approval rules and map them to the platform honestly.

Can you build a headless Magento front end?

Yes. We work with PWA Studio and with custom front ends built on React or Next.js talking to Magento over GraphQL and REST. Headless suits teams with real front-end needs and front-end capacity. If your team is small, we will say so before you take on two codebases.

Can you integrate Magento with our ERP or PIM?

Yes. We build integrations to ERP, PIM, warehouse, tax, and marketplace systems using queued, retry-safe jobs rather than fragile direct calls. Product data, stock, pricing, and orders are reconciled on a schedule your operations team can rely on and troubleshoot without a developer.

When is replatforming to Shopify Plus the better answer?

When your requirements are simpler than your platform. If you do not need deep custom logic, multi-store complexity, or B2B workflows, Magento can cost more to run than it returns. We will tell you when Shopify Plus is the honest recommendation — we build on that too, so the advice is not self-serving.

Hire Magento Developers

Run large catalogues, complex pricing, and multi-store commerce on Magento with senior engineers who know the platform properly. We hand-pick every Magento developer and put them through real technical and trial rounds — so the person you hire already understands modules, indexers, and upgrade paths, not just the admin panel.

Why Dedicated

What You Get When You Hire Dedicated Magento Developers

When you hire dedicated Magento developers from OpenMalo, you get more than extra capacity — you get consistency, accountability, and the ability to scale without disruption. You're partnering with a team that has delivered 500+ products for clients across six countries, and that experience shapes how your store is built and run.

Your dedicated Magento developer is a seasoned engineer, not a stopgap contractor. They bring proven expertise across Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce module development, catalogue architecture, caching, and third-party integration, backed by the project management and quality assurance that keep delivery predictable. Whether you need one specialist or an embedded squad, they adopt your processes and treat your store as their own.

Magento rewards discipline and punishes shortcuts. Plugins that clash, overrides that survive no upgrade, and indexers left on the wrong mode turn a capable platform into a fragile one. Our developers work within Magento conventions — proper dependency injection, clean module boundaries, and composer-managed extensions — so your store stays upgradable rather than frozen on an ageing version.

Over 13+ years, and with a 5.0 rating on Clutch, we've helped organizations of every size turn complex commerce requirements into reliable, scalable stores. Hire a dedicated Magento developer who brings the discipline serious retail demands — and free your business from the overhead of full-time hiring.
