Magento Open Source 2.4.5 and 2.4.6 reached end of support on 11 August 2026, while 2.4.4 is already out of support.
For Saudi businesses running Magento Open Source, remaining on an unsupported release means missing security updates and taking on increasing technical risk. Unlike Adobe Commerce, Magento Open Source does not provide an extended-support route for older versions.
Support Timeline
Unsupported Today
Magento Open Source 2.4.4 · 2.4.5 · 2.4.6
Security patches and standard support have ended.
Supported But Ageing
Magento Open Source 2.4.7
Supported until mid-2028, giving businesses time to plan their next upgrade.
Current Version
Magento Open Source 2.4.8 / 2.4.9
Released in May 2026, with PHP 8.5 compatibility and 560+ fixes.
We align your commerce architecture with business and revenue goals while designing mobile-first experiences built to convert. Our roadmap covers every stage of the platform lifecycle, including launch, upgrades, replatforming and continued growth.
We build tailored B2C, D2C and marketplace experiences backed by certified Magento expertise. Our code follows Magento standards, remains upgrade-ready and is engineered for reliable performance as your catalogue, traffic and business requirements grow.
We build complex B2B capabilities such as company accounts, negotiated pricing, quote management, credit controls, approval workflows and bulk ordering. Native Magento capabilities are combined with purpose-built modules where the platform needs additional functionality.
We plan upgrades from existing Magento releases to 2.4.8 or 2.4.9 after assessing PHP and database compatibility, extensions, custom code and theme regressions. Mid-sized upgrades typically take 4-8 weeks, while complex implementations or Luma-to-Hyvä migrations require additional time.
We migrate stores from Magento 1, Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud and legacy custom platforms while protecting critical data, SEO value and trading continuity. Our migration approach covers catalogue, customer, order and platform requirements across markets and commerce models.
We build iOS and Android commerce apps connected to your Magento backend and wider commerce ecosystem. Product discovery, personalised experiences, checkout, payments, order tracking and notifications are brought together in mobile experiences built with React Native, native mobile technologies, APIs and GraphQL.
Hyvä provides a modern alternative to Magento's legacy Luma frontend, using Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js to deliver faster storefront experiences. We build Hyvä themes, migrate existing Luma storefronts and coordinate frontend modernisation with Magento upgrades so both initiatives move together.
We develop custom modules, middleware and marketplace-grade extensions for capabilities Magento does not provide out of the box, including PII Shield for database-layer customer data encryption. Every solution is built with security, reusability, documentation and future upgrades in mind.
We connect ERP, PIM, CRM, OMS, POS, payment and other commerce systems into a connected technology ecosystem. Pricing, inventory, customer data and fulfilment can move between platforms reliably through integration architecture built with retry logic and error handling.
Magento Open Source is self-hosted, making infrastructure an important part of platform management. We design and operate environments across AWS, GCP or bare metal with Varnish, Redis, OpenSearch, CDN, CI/CD, monitoring and auto-scaling, while keeping infrastructure aligned with traffic, peak trading and cloud costs.
We provide ongoing technical support, covering patch management, security hardening, uptime monitoring, bug resolution and continuous enhancements. Our support model also prepares stores for peak trading through planned capacity and structured incident response.
We address conversion barriers such as slow pages, tracking issues and checkout friction through performance engineering, CRO, analytics and quality testing. PowerListing, our Magento performance accelerator, can further improve product discovery, listing performance and the overall shopping experience.
We help Magento stores remain discoverable across search engines, AI Overviews, voice search, LLM platforms and answer engines. A connected MarTech ecosystem then brings discovery, engagement and customer journeys together across the wider shopping experience.
We apply AI and analytics to practical Magento use cases such as product discovery, UCP compliance, personalisation and data-led merchandising. Real-time insights help teams monitor commerce performance and identify opportunities for optimisation as customer behaviour changes.
Built on Magento’s open foundation, we engineer capabilities that go beyond the standard, helping turn a store that simply operates into one that drives sales.
Magento stores need to remain responsive as product volumes, traffic and integrations grow. We work across Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, MySQL, full-page caching, Varnish, image delivery and CDN configuration to improve response times and maintain consistent storefront performance.
Customer information, payment-related data and other sensitive information require careful handling at the platform level. We implement database-layer protection and field-level encryption where required, while keeping the Magento application maintainable.
Search now extends beyond traditional site search. We structure Magento content and product data for search engines, AI-powered discovery and answer engines while improving internal search and product discovery. Structured data, hreflang, server-side rendering and technical SEO are considered alongside the catalogue and frontend architecture.
Build modern Magento experiences using Hyvä, headless and PWA architectures, with technologies such as Next.js, React and React Native where they fit the product and customer journey. The approach can also support Arabic and English storefronts, RTL layouts and experiences designed for multiple Saudi and GCC markets.
Magento rarely operates alone. We connect it with ERP, PIM, OMS, CRM, payment and operational systems through custom middleware and event-driven architectures, with retry and error-handling mechanisms built into the integration layer.
Implement company accounts, contract pricing, quotation workflows, approval rules, bulk ordering and custom checkout journeys for complex B2B operations. The architecture is designed to keep custom commerce logic maintainable and as upgrade-safe as possible.
Codilar has helped us to build a robust omnichannel ecommerce platform for Carter’s, HomesRus, Monsoon and OshKosh. The team at Codilar follows the latest development trends and highly focus on a customer centric approach which resonates well with our values.
Group Head of eCommerce
Codilar has been a game changer for Marina Home. Their deep understanding of our brand vision and technical expertise helped us build a fast, intuitive website and streamline our backend operations. We've seen significant improvements in customer experience, operational efficiency, and online sales since partnering with them.
Head of eCommerce
Being India's top jewellery ecommerce brand, we were struggling in scaling our ecommerce technology stack. With Codilar, we have been able to boost our Magento store performance and have our catalog and products listed in an optimized way. Codilar's services has been outstanding and I recommend them to all the other player in the market.
CEO
We help businesses move from any platform or Magento version to a stronger Magento foundation, preserving critical data, search rankings and day-to-day trading throughout the transition.
Magento 1 reached end of life in June 2020, leaving businesses on the platform without ongoing security support. We have handled large catalogues, including environments with 500K+ SKUs, through structured migration programmes covering data stabilisation, commerce functionality and experience improvements. The process is designed around data integrity, SEO preservation and performance, with projects typically planned across 4-13 weeks depending on scope.
We review PHP, database, extensions, themes and custom modules before upgrading the core platform. Regression testing then validates the storefront, checkout and integrations. Where appropriate, ageing Luma implementations can also be moved towards Hyvä.
Move to Adobe Commerce when your business requires capabilities such as B2B functionality, Live Search, managed cloud infrastructure and enterprise platform support. Adobe Commerce also provides capabilities such as Page Builder, Fastly CDN, auto-scaling, managed Redis/OpenSearch and Multi-Source Inventory.
For businesses reaching the limits of SaaS customisation, catalogue complexity or B2B requirements, Magento provides greater control over the commerce layer. We migrate products, customers, orders, content and SEO while rebuilding the experiences and integrations required by the business.
Businesses managing complex catalogues, multiple storefronts or extensive customisation may find SaaS platform limitations increasingly restrictive. Magento provides greater ownership of the commerce stack, multi-store capabilities and room for deeper custom development.
Move growing WooCommerce operations to Magento when catalogue size, order volumes, multi-store requirements or operational complexity demand a stronger commerce foundation. The migration covers critical catalogue, customer, order and SEO data.
For businesses looking to gain greater control over platform costs and customisation, Magento offers an alternative commerce architecture without revenue-based platform pricing. We assess the existing implementation and plan the migration around business-critical functionality and integrations.
We have worked on consolidation scenarios such as TGR, bringing multiple commerce operations together around a single Magento environment. The implementation involved a 60GB+ database, 150+ customer groups, 11 currencies across 9 countries, two-way Odoo integration and six payment gateways.
Replace disconnected or stalled commerce implementations with a cleaner Magento architecture. This includes addressing performance problems, failed headless implementations, unstable integrations and legacy technical decisions that prevent the business from moving forward.
For businesses moving towards enterprise commerce requirements, we preserve products, customers, orders, SEO value and other critical information while rebuilding the platform around B2B, multi-store, integrations and infrastructure requirements.
Magento gives businesses considerable flexibility, but that flexibility can become difficult to manage when a store has accumulated poor architecture, conflicting extensions, unstable integrations or years of technical debt. Our Magento specialists step into these situations to identify what needs to be retained, what needs to be rebuilt and what can be fixed without disrupting trading.

Codilar-built products created around real commerce challenges, giving Magento businesses proven capabilities that can be introduced without rebuilding solutions from the ground up.
A Magento-native product discovery and listing solution built using OpenSearch/Elasticsearch. PowerListing can deliver 2–5x faster listing and search performance while reducing infrastructure requirements by up to 80%.
A Magento security library using Libsodium for database-layer encryption of personally identifiable information, helping businesses protect sensitive customer data within the commerce platform.
A Magento performance solution designed to improve cache warming and storefront response. cWarmer has reduced server response time from around 5 seconds to as little as 0.03 seconds in tested environments.
A PWA acceleration framework combining ScandiPWA, Vue Storefront and Magento PWA Studio to create faster Magento storefront experiences, with implementations capable of achieving 90+ PageSpeed scores.
A Magento-based jewellery commerce platform supporting capabilities such as live gold prices, virtual try-on, Try@Home, video cart, EMI, engraving and ERP/catalogue integration.
If these challenges sound familiar, they can be addressed without putting your commerce operation on hold.
Older Magento releases such as 2.4.4, 2.4.5 and 2.4.6 have reached end of support and no longer receive security patches. With no extended-support route for Magento Open Source, known vulnerabilities remain unresolved, while PCI compliance reviews and cyber insurance requirements become increasingly difficult to satisfy.
A store that performed well with a smaller catalogue and lighter traffic can struggle as the business grows. Slow page loads, weak Core Web Vitals, delayed search results and checkout friction can affect both customer experience and organic visibility when the store needs to perform at its best.
Previous upgrade attempts may have left teams wary of touching the platform again. Extension conflicts, dependency issues and theme regressions can make the process complicated, but postponing upgrades only increases the amount of technical work and risk involved later.
Adding extensions over time can leave a Magento store with overlapping functionality, outdated modules and conflicting code. Poorly maintained extensions can introduce security concerns, create compatibility issues and make future platform upgrades considerably harder.
Quick fixes between ERP, PIM, CRM, OMS and other systems often become difficult to maintain as transaction volumes increase. Synchronisation errors, interrupted orders and unreliable data flows can eventually turn essential business integrations into operational bottlenecks.
Running Magento on your own infrastructure puts responsibility for hosting, scaling, backups, WAF configuration and security on your team. Poorly monitored environments can drive unnecessary infrastructure costs, while an outage during a major trading period can have a direct impact on revenue.
When a single agency controls heavily customised code and undocumented platform knowledge, changing partners becomes difficult. Closed repositories, limited documentation and dependency on specific individuals can leave businesses with fewer options when technology or commercial priorities change.
Internal developers can spend most of their time handling support tickets, patches, bugs and maintenance instead of working on initiatives tied to growth. The store continues to function, but strategic improvements keep getting pushed further down the roadmap.
We connect Magento with the wider technology landscape so commerce, operations and customer experience work together as one connected system. For Saudi businesses, this connected approach also supports the operational complexity that comes with bilingual storefronts, local payment experiences, GCC expansion and evolving regulatory requirements.
Our 5+ year average client lifetime comes from deep Magento expertise, continuous engineering support and a focus on what the business needs after the initial implementation.
Our 350+ member engineering team includes 65+ certified developers and 40+ architects and tech leads, with many bringing over a decade of Magento experience. This depth of expertise helps us approach complex commerce requirements with the right technical direction from the outset.
Years of Magento implementation, advanced engineering and complex solution delivery across markets and industries have built our standing as a top-tier Magento partner. Our technical capabilities have also earned Adobe's confidence for some of its highest-value clients.
Our work is centred on commerce, with Magento at the core of our engineering expertise. After eleven years of working with the platform, we bring a deep understanding of its architecture, ecosystem and development practices to every technical decision.
When Magento's standard functionality does not meet a specific requirement, we build the capabilities around it. Our in-house commerce products extend the platform across areas such as performance, security and customer experience, giving businesses alternatives to relying solely on conventional extensions.
Our contribution to the Magento ecosystem extends beyond client projects. We have received 4 Meet Magento Awards and 3 Adobe Experience Awards, while our community initiatives include official meetups and Magecafe, whose content has crossed 100,000 views globally.
Our founders bring strong technology backgrounds and extensive experience with Magento and its wider ecosystem. Their engineering-led approach continues to shape how we solve complex commerce challenges, giving clients direct access to a culture built around technical depth and practical execution.
You retain access to your code repositories, cloud accounts, Git environment, architecture documentation and module walkthroughs throughout the engagement. If you decide to move to another technology partner, our 30, 60 or 90-day contractual exit process gives you a defined handover period to transfer the project, documentation and technical knowledge smoothly.
Regional teams provide business and technical support close to your market, backed by 350+ engineers at our Bengaluru global capability centre. You get a locally accessible team that stays directly involved in delivery while drawing on the wider engineering organisation when needed.
Our capabilities come together across three connected areas. Consulting sets the direction, engineering builds and supports the commerce foundation, and growth initiatives focus on conversion, discovery and revenue. One framework brings these functions together under shared accountability.

BlogBring certified Magento developers into your organisation as individual specialists, dedicated teams or an extension of your existing engineering function. Our senior architects can provide technical direction while engineers take ownership of development, integrations, upgrades and ongoing platform work.
The developers we provide have certified Magento expertise and hands-on experience across complex commerce implementations. Their focus is commerce engineering, giving them a practical understanding of the platform and its challenges rather than treating Magento as just another technology on their skill set. This allows them to start contributing with minimal ramp-up time.
Build the team around the work you need to accomplish, whether that means one specialist or a wider group covering backend, frontend, QA, DevOps and architecture. Senior architects and technical leads remain involved where their expertise is needed, giving your team access to specialised skills as well as broader Magento knowledge.
Bring in a dedicated developer, add Magento specialists to your existing engineering team, or work with a project-based delivery team. Team size can change as priorities shift, allowing you to increase or reduce capacity each quarter. Region-aligned project managers and overlapping working hours across markets also make collaboration easier while keeping senior technical expertise accessible.
Our delivery process includes established engineering practices, peer code reviews, controlled staging releases and QA checks focused on critical customer journeys such as search, cart, checkout and payments. This helps teams deliver quickly without compromising existing functionality. Our delivery track record and client references, available under NDA, provide additional evidence of how we work.
Our Magento engineers work with emerging commerce technologies such as AI-driven personalisation, intelligent search and product recommendations. AI is also incorporated into development and integration workflows where it can improve the way teams work. This gives you engineers who can work with today's Magento ecosystem while adapting to how commerce technology continues to evolve.
Magento Open Source provides the core commerce platform, while Adobe Commerce adds enterprise capabilities and services suited to more complex commerce operations, including B2B functionality, Live Search and additional cloud and enterprise capabilities.
The cost depends on the store's complexity, integrations, catalogue size, design requirements, custom functionality, migration scope and infrastructure. A technical assessment provides a more accurate estimate than a standard package price.
A certified Magento development company can provide access to multiple disciplines, including architecture, development, QA, DevOps, UX and integrations. This becomes particularly useful when the store has complex requirements or needs long-term platform support.
Yes. Codilar can build and configure Arabic and English Magento storefronts, including RTL layouts, localised catalogues, pricing and customer journeys. We handle the Magento development and frontend implementation needed to create a localised experience for Saudi customers.
Yes. We can migrate businesses from platforms such as Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud and legacy Magento implementations. The migration can cover products, customers, orders, SEO data, integrations and other critical commerce information.
Magento can be configured with appropriate security controls and integrated with systems and processes designed to support applicable Saudi data protection requirements, including the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). The specific implementation depends on how your business collects, stores, processes and transfers customer data.
