Adobe Commerce

Why Upgrade

• Each merchant runs a specific version of Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source, which determines the underlying cart framework.
• Staying on the latest version of Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source ensures your site is protected with the most recent security patches, optimized for peak performance, and fully compatible with the newest PayPal capabilities.
• We recommend upgrading your Commerce version and PayPal integration together to deliver the most seamless, secure, and future-ready experience for your business and your customers.

Prerequisites
