Do you build for both Adobe Commerce Cloud and On-Premises?

Yes. We work across all Adobe Commerce deployment models — Cloud, On-Premises, and Magento Open Source. Cloud deployments have specific constraints around custom code and we account for these during architecture.

What is the difference between a plugin and a preference?

A plugin intercepts methods on any object in the DI system without modifying the class itself — it is the preferred and upgrade-safe approach. A preference replaces an entire class and is a last resort. We use plugins in almost all cases.

Can you list our extension on the Adobe Commerce Marketplace?

Yes. We can prepare extensions for Marketplace submission, including the technical review requirements and packaging standards.

The Problem

Most Adobe Commerce Extensions Create Technical Debt

EXTENSION ARCHITECTURE RISK

Adobe Commerce is a powerful platform, but it punishes shortcuts. Extensions built by developers unfamiliar with its service layer, plugin framework, and declarative schema often work on day one and break on the first upgrade. Overriding core classes instead of using plugins, writing direct database queries instead of repositories, and ignoring ACL — these patterns are common, and they cost companies thousands in remediation.

A working extension that blocks your next upgrade is a liability, not an asset.

Upgrade-Breaking Overwrites

Extensions that override core Adobe Commerce classes break when Adobe releases security patches or minor versions.

Raw Database Queries

Extensions that bypass the repository and service layer create data integrity risks and break indexing.

ACL and Security Gaps

Admin functionality without proper ACL definitions exposes backend operations to unauthorised users.

Dependency Conflicts

Poorly declared module dependencies cause installation failures and subtle runtime errors on multi-extension stores.

Our Solution

How We Build Adobe Commerce Extensions

Our process starts with the Adobe Commerce extension framework — not with the outcome.

Architecture Design

We map your requirement to the correct Adobe Commerce patterns — plugins, preferences, extension_attributes, REST API, or GraphQL — before writing code.

Framework-Compliant Development

We build using DI, service contracts, repositories, and declarative schema. No core overrides.

Code Review and Security Audit

Every extension is reviewed against Adobe Commerce security guidelines and the Marketplace requirements.

Upgrade Compatibility Testing

We test the extension against your current Adobe Commerce version and the next planned release.

Deployment and Handoff

We deploy to staging, support UAT, manage production deployment, and provide full source code with documentation.
