// The Risk

What happens when you delay

Every month on an outdated Magento version is a window attackers can exploit. These are the real consequences.

Payment skimmers

Magecart attacks inject card-stealing scripts into checkout. Unpatched stores are the easiest target — and breaches carry PCI fines of up to $100,000/month.

Admin takeover

Remote code execution vulnerabilities in older Magento versions allow attackers to gain full admin access, plant backdoors, and exfiltrate customer data.

No vendor support

Adobe end-of-lifes older versions, leaving critical bugs unpatched. Extensions also drop compatibility, creating a growing dependency crisis over time.

Performance decay

Newer Magento versions ship significant indexer, caching, and GraphQL improvements. Staying behind means your competitors on 2.4.x load measurably faster.

// The Service

Everything handled end-to-end

We don't just run composer update and hope for the best. Every upgrade follows a battle-tested process that protects your data and keeps your store live.

01

Full environment audit

We review your current Magento version, PHP stack, installed extensions, custom modules, and third-party integrations to identify every compatibility risk before touching production.

02

Staging upgrade & compatibility testing

The upgrade runs first on a staging clone. We resolve extension conflicts, patch custom code for API changes, and run a full regression — checkout, search, admin, API — before anything touches live.

03

Security patch application

All Adobe APSB security patches for your version range are applied and verified. We cross-reference the NVD CVE database to ensure nothing is missed — not just the SUPEE bundle.

04

Database & schema migration

We run all pending setup:upgrade scripts, repair broken EAV data, and optimize the database post-upgrade. Tables are backed up before any destructive migration runs.

05

Zero-downtime production cutover

Production deployment is scripted for minimal downtime — typically under 10 minutes with maintenance mode. We monitor error logs, cache warm-up, and payment flow live during the cutover window.

06

Post-go-live monitoring & handoff

We stay on for 48 hours after go-live to monitor for regressions, clear any cron backlogs, and hand over a full upgrade report — version history, patches applied, and any remaining recommendations.

What we run, and how

Upgrades are reproducible, version-controlled, and fully logged. Here's a glimpse of a typical upgrade run.

// FAQ

Common questions

How long does an upgrade take?+
Most upgrades take 3–7 business days from kickoff to production. Larger jumps (e.g. 2.3 to 2.4.7) with heavy customisation may take up to 2 weeks. We'll give you a firm timeline after the initial audit.
Will my store have downtime?+
Production cutover typically takes under 10 minutes with maintenance mode enabled. We schedule it for your lowest-traffic window. Zero downtime is achievable for cloud-hosted stores with hot-swap deployment.
What if I have heavily customised code?+
Custom modules and themes are the most common source of upgrade friction. We audit every customisation before starting and provide a compatibility matrix so there are no surprises during the upgrade run.
Do you handle Adobe Commerce (cloud) upgrades too?+
Yes — both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce (on-prem and cloud). Cloud upgrades use the ECE-tools pipeline and Adobe's cloud CLI for patch application.
What if something breaks after go-live?+
We stay on for 48 hours after launch for exactly this reason. Critical regressions discovered within 7 days of go-live are fixed at no extra charge under our upgrade warranty.
How much does it cost?+
Pricing depends on your current version, number of custom modules, and hosting environment. Minor version bumps (e.g. 2.4.6 to 2.4.7) typically start at $800. Major upgrades from 2.3.x start at $2,400. Contact us for an exact quote.
