What's included

Base scope of work β€” applies to all tiers. See the tier comparison below for hours and SLA specifics.

Supported Magento version

Your store on a release that still receives Adobe security patches, not a version that went dark months ago.

Working extensions

Every third-party extension either upgraded to a compatible version or flagged with a replacement before we start.

Staging-tested release

The whole upgrade runs on a staging copy first. You sign off on a working store before we schedule go-live.

Clean rollback plan

A full backup and a tested way back. If go-live hits something we missed, your old store returns in minutes, not hours.

How we work

Transparent process β€” you always know what stage we're at and what comes next.

1

Audit and quote

We review your version, extensions, theme, and server, then give you a fixed price and a list of what will need work.

2-3 days
2

Staging upgrade

We clone your store and run the upgrade on staging, fixing extension and theme issues as they surface.

Week 1-2
3

QA and your sign-off

We test checkout, payments, and admin. You review the staging store and approve before anything goes live.

Week 2-3
4

Go-live

We deploy during a low-traffic window with a backup ready, then watch the store for the first day in case anything needs a quick fix.

1 day

FAQ

How much does a Magento 2 upgrade cost?

A minor upgrade inside the 2.4 line starts at $1,500. A major jump that involves extension fixes, theme work, and a PHP version change runs $4,000 to $9,000. The price depends almost entirely on how many third-party extensions and custom changes your store has, which is why we audit before quoting.

Will the upgrade break my extensions or theme?

Some of them, almost certainly, which is why we never upgrade a live store directly. We run the whole thing on a staging copy, find what breaks, and fix or replace it there. You only go live once the staging store works.

How long will my store be down?

Effectively no downtime. The work happens on staging. Go-live is a short deploy during a quiet window, usually under an hour, and we keep a backup ready to roll back instantly.

Which Magento version should I upgrade to?

The newest stable 2.4.x release that your extensions support. As of mid-2026 that’s the 2.4.7 line. We don’t chase the absolute latest if a critical extension hasn’t caught up yet, because staying secure matters more than staying bleeding-edge.

Is this the same as moving off Magento 1?

No. Magento 1 reached end of life in 2020 and has no security support. Moving off it is a full rebuild on Magento 2, not an upgrade. We do that work too, but it’s priced and planned separately.

Do you upgrade Adobe Commerce as well as Magento Open Source?

Yes. The process is the same for both. Adobe Commerce adds a few paid features and its own patches, and we handle the license side with you.

Running an old Magento version isn’t a style problem, it’s a security and money problem. Adobe ships security patches for roughly the current and previous minor release. Once you fall two or three versions behind, you’re exposed to known exploits, your payment provider may flag you on PCI, and every new extension you want assumes a version you don’t have. We move you to a supported release without losing data, design, or the customizations you paid for.

Version upgrade is not the same as Magento 1 to 2 migration

People conflate these, and the price difference is large. Going from Magento 2.4.4 to 2.4.7 is a version upgrade: same platform, newer code, mostly a question of extension and theme compatibility. Going from Magento 1 to Magento 2 is a full rebuild on a different architecture, and it costs many times more. This page is about the first one. If you’re still on Magento 1, that’s our Magento development work, not a patch upgrade.

What actually breaks in a Magento upgrade

The core upgrade is usually the easy part. What breaks is everything bolted onto it. Third-party extensions written for 2.3 that call removed methods. A Luma theme with template overrides that no longer match. Custom modules that lean on a deprecated API. PHP itself: 2.4.7 wants PHP 8.1 or higher, and code written for 7.4 won’t just run. We test all of it on a staging copy before anything touches your live store, so you find the breakage in QA instead of at checkout.

Upgrading within Magento 2 is one job; coming from Magento 1 is another. For the latter, our Magento migration package covers the full rebuild at a fixed price.
