Episode Transcript

Host: Welcome to the show where we break down eCommerce trends, industry insights, and debunk common misconceptions. I’m [Host Name], and today we need to talk about something that’s been bothering a lot of people in the eCommerce space—this idea that “Magento is now Adobe Commerce.” Spoiler alert: It’s not that simple!

Segment 1: The Acquisition and Branding Confusion

Host: Let’s start with some background. In 2018, Adobe acquired Magento for $1.68 billion, a major move that signaled Adobe’s deeper investment into eCommerce. Since then, we’ve seen a lot of changes, but one of the biggest misconceptions is that Magento has been completely replaced by Adobe Commerce.

Yes, Adobe Commerce is the enterprise-level, cloud-hosted version of Magento, enhanced with additional Adobe services. But Magento Open Source still exists—and it’s thriving! If you hear someone say, “Magento is now Adobe Commerce,” they’re only telling half the story.

Segment 2: Understanding the Two Offerings

Host: To clarify, there are two key offerings:

Magento Open Source – This remains a free, community-driven platform with a vast developer ecosystem, perfect for businesses that want flexibility and control.

Adobe Commerce – This is the paid, enterprise-grade version with additional AI-driven tools, cloud hosting, and deeper Adobe integrations.

Adobe Commerce builds upon Magento’s foundation, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Many businesses still use Magento Open Source, and major contributions continue to be made by the Magento community.

Segment 3: Why This Misconception Matters

Host: So why does this confusion matter? For one, it can mislead business owners looking for eCommerce solutions. If they hear “Magento doesn’t exist anymore,” they might think their only option is to pay for Adobe Commerce. That’s not true.

It also creates uncertainty in the developer and merchant community. Magento Open Source is still powerful, and it continues to evolve with contributions from the community and agencies worldwide.

Segment 4: What This Means for Merchants and Developers

Host: If you’re a merchant, here’s what you need to know:

Magento Open Source is still a viable, cost-effective option if you have the resources to manage development.

Adobe Commerce is great for businesses that need enterprise-grade features and are willing to invest in a fully managed solution.

If you’re a developer:

Magento skills are still in high demand.

The open-source ecosystem is alive and well, with continued innovation.

Final Thoughts

Host: The bottom line? Magento is NOT gone. Adobe Commerce is an evolution, but it’s not a replacement. So next time you hear someone say, “Magento is now Adobe Commerce,” set the record straight!
