Impact analysis
We map which Commerce functionality you actually use: B2B modules, customer segmentation, Page Builder content, staging workflows and Adobe tooling.
From Adobe Commerce to Open Source
Why pay more than necessary? Magento Open Source offers you the same power as Adobe Commerce in many cases, but without the Enterprise price tag. Sidegrading means: control over costs, freedom in development and complete control over your own roadmap.
Vendic guides organizations through the transition. Structured, with an impact analysis upfront.
Discover if your webshop is ready for the sidegrade.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Risk
Approach
Risk
Commerce functionality is woven deeper into custom code and modules than expected.
Approach
The impact analysis checks every module and customization for Commerce dependencies. You know where the work sits upfront, not during go-live.
Risk
Content in Page Builder and staging workflows has no one-to-one equivalent in Open Source.
Approach
We inventory which content and editorial workflows are in use and set up an equivalent alternative before the switch.
Risk
Third-party extensions turn out to have a Commerce license or dependency.
Approach
We check every extension for Open Source compatibility and replace or rebuild what cannot come along.
Risk
The sidegrade quietly grows into a full redesign.
Approach
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.
- 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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about sidegrading
Absolutely. Magento Open Source runs at high-traffic retailers worldwide. The core is powerful enough, provided it is properly set up. That's exactly where we excel.
You lose the built-in B2B modules, advanced segmentation and certain Adobe tooling. Don't use those or use alternatives? Then you won't notice the difference.
That depends on the complexity of your current installation. We do an impact analysis and make a realistic estimate.
Yes. Even better: that's exactly where we can help you. We'd love to combine your sidegrade with a lightning-fast frontend and lift your conversion along with it.
