Many new features were also added to the platform, like a dashboard for efficiently managing the company’s e-commerce strategy and integration with the Amazon marketplace, allowing users to sell on Amazon but manage things from the Commerce Cloud interface.

Frequently Asked Questions Of Adobe Magento Acquisition

After joining hands with Magento, one of the most popular and matured e-commerce development platforms, Adobe adds another prominent dimension to its Experience cloud. Besides, with Magento, Adobe accomplished getting a whole stack of e-commerce knowledge as the Magento team comprises over 300,000 developers and 1050 tech partners worldwide.

In theory, it is a positive amalgamation of Adobe and Magento. Magento can now reach bigger enterprises who are already the patrons of Adobe and Adobe can extend its services to mid-and small retailers.
If you are a beginner in using Adobe Commerce then you should go through these questions:
1. The suitable set-up model: In this model, the users have the choice to choose between cloud and self-deployment. That means, if they choose Adobe cloud deployment then they will get a fully-managed solution as a bonus.
2. The suitable plan: Adobe Commerce comes with the Starter plan for smaller retailers and the Pro-plan for big enterprises. Regarding features, both these plans are the same. The only difference is that the Pro plan is designed for larger-scale enterprises which need a higher level of product architecture, tailored infrastructure, etc.
3. 3rd party tools compatibility: Although Adobe Commerce is highly flexible, there are many 3rd party tools that are required to cover any specific feature or business requirement. And Adobe Magento integration is possible with extensions, enterprise systems, and customizations.
We recommend Magento open-source only when the merchant is a newbie in the e-commerce industry else we believe that Adobe Commerce would be highly fruitful in the long run. It ostensibly seems that Adobe Commerce costs more than the open-source Magento community edition, but in the free version, you will have to add many extensions and other 3rd party tools that you get in-built in Adobe Commerce.
If you are not tech-savvy, you can always consider a Magento development company that can help you in setting up your online store and take your entire business online.
