Why choose a sidegrade

More and more companies are making the switch

You once chose Adobe Commerce. Rightly so: it's a powerful platform. But now you notice that you don't use many features, the annual license weighs on your budget and upgrades are slow and expensive. Time for a sidegrade to Magento Open Source. You keep the power, flexibility and scalability, but let go of the ballast.

No license costs

Save tens of thousands of euros per year by switching. You invest in customization and performance, instead of in an annual subscription.

Full control over roadmap

No more dependency on Adobe's release schedules and roadmap. You decide what gets developed when.

Same technical foundation

Magento Open Source = Adobe Commerce without the marketing automation tools and B2B modules. Don't use those? Then you're not missing anything.

Hyvä Ready

Open Source combines perfectly with Hyvä, the fastest frontend in the Magento world. We ensure your webshop passes the Core Web Vitals with flying colors.

Sidegrade approach

Same foundation, so a manageable project.

Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source share the same core. A sidegrade is therefore not a rebuild but a structured untangling: we determine what you actually use from Commerce and arrange an equivalent alternative for each part.

01

Impact analysis

We map which Commerce functionality you actually use: B2B modules, customer segmentation, Page Builder content, staging workflows and Adobe tooling.

02

Alternatives and scope

For each part in use we pick the route: native in Open Source, a proven extension or targeted custom work. That translates into a concrete scope with a cost range.

03

Untangle and test

We execute the sidegrade on a staging environment. Catalog, customer data and URLs stay in place. Ordering, payments and integrations are tested with regression control.

04

Go-live around your license date

We plan the go-live around your license end date. From that moment the annual subscription ends and you only invest in your own shop.

Sidegrade risks

These are the parts you should not untangle on gut feeling.

Commerce functionality is woven deeper into custom code and modules than expected.

The impact analysis checks every module and customization for Commerce dependencies. You know where the work sits upfront, not during go-live.

Content in Page Builder and staging workflows has no one-to-one equivalent in Open Source.

We inventory which content and editorial workflows are in use and set up an equivalent alternative before the switch.

Third-party extensions turn out to have a Commerce license or dependency.

We check every extension for Open Source compatibility and replace or rebuild what cannot come along.

The sidegrade quietly grows into a full redesign.

We separate the platform decision from UX wishes and nice-to-haves. Sidegrade first; improvements are planned deliberately afterwards.

What the impact analysis gives you

A factual basis to make the switch, or not.

Plan an intake
  • An overview of the Adobe Commerce functionality you use, with the Magento Open Source alternative per part.
  • A cost comparison: the annual license versus the one-time investment in the sidegrade.
  • A sidegrade route with phasing, risks and a realistic planning around your license end date.
“Vendic has taken over the technical maintenance of our webshop and performed a Magento version update. From the beginning, communication was clear and professional.
