Why a Magento upgrade can’t wait
Adobe patches each Magento release line on its own schedule, and yours has an end date.
Security and compliance exposure
Once Adobe stops patching your version, disclosed vulnerabilities stay open on your live store and PCI assessors treat unsupported software as a finding.
Performance that costs you sales
An old PHP generation and years of accumulated custom code slow your category pages and your checkout, and slower pages convert fewer visitors.
Falling behind the roadmap
Payment providers and extension vendors target current releases first. Sit far enough back and integrations break with no supported fix available.
How we keep your Magento upgrades free
With scandiweb, the same Adobe-certified engineers stay on your store. The engineers who work on your store apply each new Magento release themselves, and we do not bill you for it.
With scandiweb you receive
Each new 2.4.x release is built on staging and regression tested, so it reaches your production store already verified.
When Adobe publishes a patch, we apply it inside your maintenance window. You do not raise a ticket to make it happen.
Modules that break on a new release are refactored as part of the upgrade, and abandoned extensions are replaced with maintained ones.
Our SEO team verifies your redirects and structured data on staging, then measures Core Web Vitals once the release is live.
What’s new in Magento 2.4.9
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.
What a Magento upgrade costs
A security patch cycle is typically around $1,000. A version upgrade to 2.4.9 typically costs $15,000 to $35,000, depending on how many releases you are behind and how much custom code has to be carried forward. These are the figures agencies charge across the market. Your own includes custom code and integrations that need retesting after the version changes.
Our Magento upgrade services
How hard an upgrade is depends almost entirely on where you start. Anything from 2.4.3 upward is a version upgrade. Below 2.3, the frontend usually needs rebuilding alongside the core, and Magento 1 is a replatform handled by our Magento migration services.
Magento version upgrades
Step-by-step upgrades to Magento 2.4.9, with extensions, custom code, and data carried over and tested on staging before go-live.
Security and patch upgrades
Fast application of the latest security patches and bug fixes to close PCI gaps and known vulnerabilities without a full version jump.
End-of-life and emergency upgrades
Moving stores off end-of-life or long-unpatched versions onto a current, supported release before the risk becomes an incident.
Upgrade audits
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.
Hyvä frontend upgrades
A core upgrade paired with a Hyvä theme rebuild, so the storefront comes out faster as well as newer.
Extension and custom-code refactoring
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?
How a Magento upgrade works
Your live store is the last thing to change in this process. The first thing you receive is a written compatibility verdict, dated and sequenced, listing every module that will break on 2.4.9.
Upgrade audit and compatibility check
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.
Staging upgrade
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.
Regression testing and QA
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.
Zero-downtime 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.
Post-launch support
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.

What makes our Magento upgrades different
Zero-downtime upgrade track record
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.
Official Adobe Gold Solutions Partner
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.
2,100+ projects of upgrade depth
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.
Security and compliance built in
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.
Performance, not only a version bump
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.
One team, end to end
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.
Magento upgrades with measurable results
We scope every upgrade around what it does for the business after go-live – revenue, speed, and stability.

Magento upgrade FAQ
How much does a Magento 2 upgrade cost?
Magento upgrades are free for all scandiweb customers. However, agencies typically charge $1,000 for a security patch cycle. A version upgrade to 2.4.9 typically costs $15,000 to $35,000, depending on how many releases you are behind and how much custom code has to be carried forward. A store many versions back may need the upgrade paired with a frontend rebuild.
How do I check my Magento version?
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.
What is the latest version of Magento?
Magento 2.4.9, released on 12 May 2026 for both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce. It adds PHP 8.5 support and upgrades to Symfony 7.4, with more than 500 enhancements in the release. Standard support lasts until 31 May 2029, which is why it is the right target for almost every upgrade we scope.
Do I have to upgrade if my store still works?
A working store and a safe store are two different things. Once Adobe stops patching your version, known vulnerabilities and PCI compliance gaps stay open on your live store, and extension vendors drop support for the release you are on. Upgrading while you are close to current costs less and carries less risk than waiting for something to break.
Magento update vs upgrade: what is the difference?
An update applies patches inside your current release line, for example 2.4.7-p3 to 2.4.7-p6. An upgrade takes you between release lines, for example 2.4.7 to 2.4.9, and changes your PHP and platform requirements. The two are often advertised as one Magento update service, but upgrades are where extensions and custom code break, so they need staging and full regression testing.
How long does a Magento 2 upgrade take?
A patch update on a reasonably current store takes one to two weeks. From 2.4.7 or 2.4.8 to 2.4.9 is two to four weeks. A multi-version upgrade from 2.4.4 or 2.4.6 needs four to six weeks, and a store on 2.3 needs six to ten. Talk with our team and we will give you a firm timeline before any work begins.
Will my store go down or lose data during the upgrade?
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.
Can I upgrade from Magento 1 to Magento 2 directly?
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.
Will my extensions and custom code still work after the upgrade?
We map every extension and custom module against the target version, then resolve the conflicts on staging before go-live. Where a third-party extension has been abandoned by its vendor, we recommend a maintained replacement so you finish on a clean, supported store.
Will a Magento upgrade affect my SEO rankings?
Protecting rankings is in scope on every upgrade we deliver. Upgrades change URL structures and template markup, and either can lose you rankings within weeks of go-live. Our SEO team audits redirects and structured data on staging, then measures Core Web Vitals before and after go-live, so the traffic you have is still there a month later.
