Magento is a solution for medium and large eCommerce companies that expect full control, scalability, and the ability to adapt the platform to their own processes. A higher initial cost is offset by lower total cost of ownership (TCO) in the long term.

A summary of the most important information from the entire article (TL;DR) is presented below.

Why is Magento the best choice for medium and large eCommerce businesses?

• Technological flexibility - architecture and modules adapt to your business model, not the other way around.
• Scalability - the platform grows with the number of products, markets, and traffic volume.
• Multi-store - one admin panel for multiple languages, currencies, and domains.
• Enterprise-class integrations - ERP, WMS, PIM, CRM, marketplaces, marketing automation tools.
• B2B readiness - business accounts, individual pricing, quote carts, recurring orders, permission management.
• Full control and security - own hosting, data ownership, no SaaS fees.
• SEO - Hyva improves Core Web Vitals and reduces time-to-first-byte.
• Lower operational costs at scale - reduction of additional fees and barriers typical of SaaS.
• Proven across industries - in consumer, industrial, and other sectors.
• Strong ecosystem - experienced implementation teams, developed module database, established practices.

Magento is a platform that has remained one of the most frequent choices among medium and large companies seeking solutions tailored to their industry's specific needs. Currently, over 100 thousand online stores worldwide use this system.

This technology is aimed at brands that need more than just ready-made templates and simple tools. Magento requires an experienced implementation team, thoughtful architecture, and appropriate technical backing, but in return, it offers enormous possibilities for customization, scalability, and growth.

The system works well where advanced technical infrastructure is needed, adapted to a specific operating model, industry, and business goals. Although the implementation price is relatively high, in exchange, companies receive full control over store development, architectural flexibility, and access to features that go beyond the standard capabilities of SaaS platforms.

Magento is used in sectors such as:

• fashion and retail,
• electronics and technology,
• beauty and health,
• automotive,
• B2B and industry,
• children's articles,
• home furnishings,
• stationery and office supplies.

Although there are many platforms on the eCommerce market that offer basic tools for running an online store, Magento clearly stands out in several aspects. One of the greatest advantages of this system is flexibility and scalability. This means that a store based on Magento can be expanded in virtually unlimited ways - both in terms of product structure and integration with external systems.

Magento also stands out in areas such as:

• Technological flexibility - the ability to adapt code, extensions, and architecture to the requirements of a specific business.
• Multi-product range and multi-store - support for multiple store versions (languages, currencies, domains) from one admin panel.
• Integrations - seamless connections with ERP, WMS, PIM, CRM, marketplaces, and marketing automation tools.
• Data security and control - full independence from third-party cloud solutions and the ability to host in your chosen environment.
• Performance and speed - image optimization combined with modern frontend like Hyva, which enhances user experience quality.
• B2B process support - individual pricing, contractor accounts, recurring orders, and advanced permissions.

All of this makes Magento a platform that gives companies a real opportunity to build technology tailored to themselves, rather than having to adapt to system limitations.

Magento is a powerful eCommerce platform, but it is not a solution for everyone. Particularly in the context of implementation costs, which are noticeably higher than simpler SaaS-type solutions.

For companies in the early stages of development, where quick market entry and cost limitation are key, more affordable platforms such as Shopify or Shoper may turn out to be a better option. Their advantage at the start is a low barrier to entry, which offers ready-made templates, quick configuration, no need to have your own server or development team.

However, it's worth remembering that the costs of "cheap" solutions increase as the business grows. With Shopify or Shoper, you have to account for monthly subscription fees, transaction commissions, additional costs for integrations, external applications, or features that are available natively in Magento or can be custom designed.

Magento requires a larger initial budget, but it's an investment that works great for companies planning long-term growth. From the perspective of a growing business, this is often a more cost-effective approach than paying commissions, limiting yourself to available modules, or encountering technological barriers typical of subscription platforms.

Currently, eCommerce platforms must adapt to increasingly aware and demanding customers. Elements such as page speed, convenient checkout path, aesthetic design, and full responsiveness are now an absolute must-have, without which it's difficult to talk about conversion, loyalty, or standing out from the competition.

A good solution may turn out to be Magento 2 combined with the modern Hyva frontend, which combines advanced backend capabilities with exceptional performance and lightweight user interface. Unlike traditional themes, Hyva was designed from scratch with speed, simplicity, and mobile-first in mind.

Thanks to a lean code structure, reduced JS dependencies, and compliance with Google Core Web Vitals, stores based on Hyva achieve excellent performance and SEO results, which directly translates into increased sales and a lower cart abandonment rate.

Additionally, this system significantly reduces maintenance costs and speeds up implementation, making Magento an even more attractive platform for companies that want to invest in quality, not just features.

Implementing Magento requires working with an experienced technology partner who understands local realities, knows global standards, and can adapt the solution to specific business goals.

At Advox, we have over 15 years of experience designing online stores based on Magento 2 Open Source and Adobe Commerce. We work for companies in the B2B and B2C sectors, using technologies that truly support online sales growth. To date, we have completed many implementations for Polish brands as well as clients operating in foreign markets. You can find more information about this in our case studies.

What sets us apart?

• Local experience and international perspective - we understand the needs of Polish companies, but we are not limited to local patterns.
• Official partnership with Adobe - we hold the status of Adobe Bronze Solution Partner and have a certified team of developers and Project Managers.
• Full project support - from pre-implementation analysis, through design and development, to maintenance and growth.
• Technological flexibility - if we don't find a ready-made module, we'll simply write it for you. We use Symfony, Python, APIs, and custom integrations.
• Transparent work organization - access to Jira, regular sprints, Agile methodology, and full visibility of the process at every stage.

What does cooperation look like?

The implementation process proceeds according to clear stages: quote request → pre-implementation analysis → estimate → terms agreement → contract signing → implementation → launch and further support.

Magento is a platform that truly responds to the needs of medium and large companies - regardless of industry, sales model, or target market. It's a solution that stands out for its flexibility, scalability, and above all, the ability to build sales without limitations, transaction fees, or technical compromises.

The system gives companies full control over eCommerce development, from the appearance and functionality of the store, through integrations with external systems, to handling multiple markets and channels simultaneously. Combined with the modern Hyva frontend, custom modules, and the expertise of the Advox team, it can become a complete environment for conducting online sales on a professional scale.
