4.9
We upgrade Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source stores to 2.4.9 with your data, custom code, and extensions intact – tested on staging, launched with no downtime. Backed by 894+ Adobe certifications and an Adobe Commerce partnership since 2009.
Magento upgrades run on Adobe’s clock, not yours. Magento 2.4.8 is approaching end of support, and once Adobe stops shipping its patches that line stops getting security fixes. Moving to 2.4.9 resets the window and buys your store another few years of patches. The longer you sit on a closing support window, the more a routine version move turns into an emergency.
Every version Adobe stops patching is an open door. Skipped security upgrades leave PCI gaps and known vulnerabilities live on your store, putting customer data and your payment compliance at direct risk.
Old core code, dated PHP, and accumulated technical debt slow your pages and your checkout. Every extra second of load time lowers your conversion rate, so a slow store costs you sales even while it still works.
New extensions, payment methods, and Adobe features target current versions first. Stay too far back and integrations break, vendors drop support, and a one-step upgrade turns into a multi-version rebuild.
Magento 2.4.9 was released in May 2026, and it is the largest core update in years: 500+ enhancements, PHP 8.5 support, an upgrade to Symfony 7.4, and refreshed search, cache, and message-queue requirements. Adobe supports the 2.4.9 line with roughly three years of patches ahead, so moving up from a version close to end of support buys you years of security cover. The one catch is that 2.4.9 drops PHP 8.2 and raises its platform stack, so a clean upgrade means moving your hosting, extensions, and custom code in step, not only changing a version number.

There is no single price for a Magento upgrade because the work scales with how far behind you are and how custom your store is. Most upgrades fall into one of the three scopes below, each with a typical timeline and the factors that set the price – we confirm the exact figure after a free assessment.
The risk in an upgrade is almost never the version bump itself – it is the custom code and extensions that were written against the old core. So the work starts with an audit of exactly what will break, not with touching production. Nothing ships to your live store until the whole upgrade has been rebuilt and signed off on a staging copy, and every release carries a rollback path so a problem is a non-event, not an outage.
We map your current version, custom code, extensions, integrations, and hosting, then flag exactly what is compatible with 2.4.9 and what needs refactoring. You get a clear scope and timeline before any work begins.
We build the upgrade on a full staging copy of your store – core, PHP, extensions, and custom code – so production keeps running untouched while we resolve every compatibility issue away from live traffic.
We test the upgraded store end to end: catalog, checkout, payments, integrations, and performance. Your team reviews and signs off on staging before anything is scheduled for go-live.
We deploy during a planned window with a rollback path ready, so customers keep shopping and your data stays intact. If anything looks wrong, we roll back to the previous version in minutes instead of fixing it on your live store.
We monitor the upgraded store after launch, fix any rare issues that only show up under live traffic, and confirm performance and stability. From there you are on a current version with a clear path for the next upgrade.

scandiweb runs Magento upgrades across the full version range, each tested on staging and deployed with zero downtime. A move between platforms or major architectures runs through our Magento 1 to Adobe Commerce migration service. When the goal is speed as well as a current version, we pair the upgrade with our Magento performance optimization work.
Step-by-step upgrades to Magento 2.4.9, with extensions, custom code, and data carried over and tested on staging before go-live.
Fast application of the latest security patches and bug fixes to close PCI gaps and known vulnerabilities without a full version jump.
Moving stores off end-of-life or long-unpatched versions onto a current, supported release before the risk becomes an incident.
A senior review of your current version, custom code, and extensions that tells you exactly what an upgrade involves, what it costs, and what could break.
Pairing a core upgrade with a Hyvä rebuild for faster pages and better Core Web Vitals, so the upgrade also fixes performance.
Updating or rewriting the third-party extensions and custom modules that block an upgrade, so your store runs clean on the new version.
Not sure which upgrade your store needs?
Every upgrade is built and signed off on a staging copy, then deployed with a rollback path ready on every release, so your store keeps selling and your data stays intact through go-live.
We have been an Adobe Commerce partner since 2009 and an Adobe Gold Solutions Partner, so the version jumps and extension conflicts that surprise others are routine for us – backed by a team holding 894+ Adobe certifications.
We have delivered 2,100+ eCommerce projects, so the custom-code and extension conflicts that turn a routine upgrade into an emergency are patterns we have already solved.
ISO 27001 and 27017 certified and PCI DSS aware, we treat your customer data and payment compliance as part of the upgrade scope, not an afterthought.
We pair upgrades with Hyvä and Core Web Vitals work where it pays off, so your store comes out faster, not only newer, and the speed gain lifts your conversion rate.
Audit, refactoring, QA, go-live, and post-launch support sit with one dedicated team, so nothing falls between vendors and you have a single point of contact throughout.
We scope every upgrade around what it does for the business after go-live – revenue, speed, and stability – not the version number on the dashboard.
There is no fixed price – the cost scales with how many versions you are behind and how customized your store is. A security or single-version patch on a lightly customized store is a small, fixed job; a multi-version jump to 2.4.9 on a heavily extended store is larger; and a store many versions back may need an upgrade paired with a rebuild. We confirm the exact figure after a free upgrade assessment, so you get a real number for your store rather than a generic range.
Log in to your Magento admin and check the footer of the dashboard, where the version number is shown – or run “bin/magento –version” from the command line on your server. If you are not sure or cannot access either, send us your store URL and we will identify your exact version, how far behind it is, and what an upgrade would involve as part of your free assessment.
The latest version is Magento 2.4.9, released in May 2026, for both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce. It adds PHP 8.5 support, an upgrade to Symfony 7.4, and 500+ enhancements, with roughly three years of Adobe support ahead. Magento 2.4.8 is nearing end of support, so upgrading to 2.4.9 gives you several more years of security patches.
A store that still works is not the same as a safe one. Once Adobe stops patching your version, known security vulnerabilities and PCI compliance gaps stay open on your live store, third-party extensions and payment methods drop support, and the eventual upgrade becomes a multi-version rebuild instead of a routine step. Upgrading while you are close to current is far cheaper and lower-risk than waiting for something to break.
Most upgrades take about 2 to 6 weeks from kickoff to go-live, depending on scope. A security or patch upgrade on a current-ish store can be done in roughly 1 to 2 weeks; a multi-version jump to 2.4.9 with extension and custom-code work usually runs 2 to 6 weeks; and an upgrade paired with a frontend rebuild is scoped per store. The audit at the start gives you a firm timeline before any work begins.
No. We build and test the entire upgrade on a staging copy of your store while production keeps running, then deploy during a planned window with a rollback path ready. Your catalog, customers, and order history move across intact, and if anything looks wrong at go-live we roll back in minutes. Zero downtime and no data loss is the standard we work to on every upgrade.
Not as an in-place upgrade – Magento 1 reached end of life in 2020 and Magento 2 is a different architecture, so moving from Magento 1 is a full replatform (a data and design migration), not a version bump. We handle this as a dedicated project; see our Magento 1 to Adobe Commerce migration service for that path. If you are already on Magento 2, upgrading to 2.4.9 is a standard version upgrade.
That is exactly what the upgrade audit checks first. We map every extension, custom module, and integration against the target version, flag what is compatible and what needs updating or rewriting, and resolve those conflicts on staging before go-live. Where a third-party extension is abandoned, we recommend a maintained replacement, so you finish on a clean, supported store rather than carrying broken modules forward.
Send us your store and we will identify your current version, how far behind you are, and exactly what an upgrade to 2.4.9 would involve – scope, timeline, and what could break. No commitment, no obligation.
