About Magento
The commerce engine for the complicated shops.
Magento started in 2007 as open-source e-commerce software built on PHP, moved under eBay, then Permira, and has been part of Adobe since 2018 as Adobe Commerce. The open-source edition and the paid Adobe Commerce edition share the same core, with more than 150,000 live stores between them. It is the platform merchants pick when the catalog is deep, the pricing rules are negotiated per customer, the stores cover multiple brands or countries, and the fulfilment model is anything other than a single warehouse.
The point of pulling Magento into a warehouse is that most Magento shops outgrow their own reports quickly. Cross-store margin, B2B contract profitability, return rate by SKU and attribution from ad spend to paid revenue live across tables, stores and integrations. Next to your accounting, payments and CRM data, those answers stop being three exports that never agree on the same total.
