Magento

Open-source e-commerce platform built on PHP and MySQL, offering catalog management, checkout, multi-store deployment, and extensive customization through a modular architecture. Serves as the community edition of Adobe Commerce, enabling merchants to build and run online stores with full control over the codebase.

Magento Open Source powers thousands of storefronts worldwide and shares its core with Adobe Commerce, used by brands such as Coca-Cola, Canon, and Ford. Unlike closed platforms like Shopify, it gives teams full access to the source code for customizations and extensions. The Magento Marketplace offers thousands of third-party modules for payments, shipping, and marketing. The Magento Association provides community support, forums, and events.

Key capabilities:

• Product catalog with variants, attributes, and category management
• Multi-website and multi-store from a single admin
• Composer-based packaging and modular extension system
• Built-in marketing tools, promotions, and SEO features
• REST and GraphQL APIs for headless and custom integrations
• B2C and B2B workflows with customer groups and pricing rules

Teams choose Magento Open Source when building custom e-commerce experiences that require deep control over the stack, integrating with existing PHP applications, or scaling to multiple brands and locales. Developers extend the platform via PHP modules, themes, and the Magento Marketplace, and deploy on-premises or to cloud infrastructure.
