Magmodules Extension Compatibility

Our extensions support the following minimum Magento versions:

Extension Type Minimum Version
New extensions 2.4.4+
Existing extensions 2.4.4+ (updated)
Legacy support Contact us

We actively test against all supported Magento versions (2.4.6, 2.4.7) and recommend staying on the latest patch release.

Checking Your Magento Version

Via Admin Panel

Go to the admin footer - the version is displayed at the bottom right.

Via CLI

bin/magento --version

Via Composer

composer show magento/product-community-edition
# or for Commerce
composer show magento/product-enterprise-edition

Via Files

Check composer.json in your Magento root:

grep "magento/product" composer.json

When to Upgrade

Must Upgrade

  • Running an EOL version (no security patches)
  • Security vulnerabilities announced for your version
  • Required for extension compatibility
  • PCI compliance requirements

Should Upgrade

  • Missing features available in newer versions
  • Performance improvements in newer releases
  • Bug fixes affecting your store
  • Before your version reaches EOL

Plan Carefully

  • Major version upgrades (2.3 → 2.4) require significant testing
  • Minor upgrades (2.4.6 → 2.4.7) are usually smoother
  • Patch upgrades (2.4.7 → 2.4.7-p1) are low risk

Upgrade Process Overview

1. Prepare

  • Back up database and files
  • Document all customizations
  • List all installed extensions
  • Review changelog for breaking changes

2. Test Environment

  • Create staging environment with current version
  • Upgrade staging first
  • Test all functionality thoroughly
  • Verify all extensions work

3. Upgrade Commands

# Enable maintenance mode
bin/magento maintenance:enable

# Update Magento version
composer require magento/product-community-edition=2.4.7 --no-update
composer update

# Run upgrade
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

# Clear cache and disable maintenance
bin/magento cache:flush
bin/magento maintenance:disable

4. Post-Upgrade

  • Verify admin access
  • Test frontend functionality
  • Check all payment methods
  • Verify order processing
  • Test all third-party integrations

Common Upgrade Issues

Extension Conflicts

Some extensions may not support the new version. Options:

  1. Update the extension first
  2. Contact the extension vendor
  3. Temporarily disable the extension
  4. Find an alternative extension

Database Schema Changes

If you see database errors:

bin/magento setup:upgrade --keep-generated
bin/magento setup:db-schema:upgrade
bin/magento setup:db-data:upgrade

Dependency Conflicts

Composer conflicts with package versions:

composer why-not magento/product-community-edition 2.4.7

This shows which packages block the upgrade.

Magento Open Source vs Adobe Commerce

Feature Open Source Commerce
Price Free Licensed
Support Community Adobe
B2B Features No Yes
Page Builder Basic Advanced
Cloud Option No Yes

Our extensions work with both Open Source and Commerce editions.

Version Numbering

Magento uses semantic versioning:

2.4.7-p1
│ │ │ └── Patch number (security/hotfix)  
│ │ └──── Minor version (features)  
│ └────── Major version (breaking changes)  
└──────── Platform version
  • Patch releases (p1, p2): Security fixes only, safe to apply
  • Minor releases (2.4.6 → 2.4.7): New features, some testing needed
  • Major releases (2.3 → 2.4): Significant changes, full testing required

To evaluate a provider, it is not enough to consider only the product offered, but also its after-sales service, such as support and troubleshooting. Magmodules has been extremely satisfactory at all levels on multiple occasions and sets the bar at the top when comparing the competition.

Magmodules biedt plugins aan die van hoge kwaliteit zijn tegen een goede prijs, waar dit bedrijf in uitblinkt is de bereidheid om de zeldzame feedback & problemen met de plugins te willen onderzoeken, mee te willen denken in het debuggen van problemen en goede oplossingen toe te passen. In mijn decennium ervaring met Magento & 3th parties is Magmodules absoluut een uniqum binnen de markt.

Uitstekende support! Wij gebruiken o.a. de Rich Snippets Suite extensie voor onze Magento 2 webshop (Hyvä) en hadden een specifieke vraag over structured data op PLP-pagina’s. Binnen no-time kregen we een inhoudelijk en duidelijk antwoord. Zeer prettig contact en goed onderbouwde uitleg. Absoluut een betrouwbare partner voor Magento-extensies!
