Magento 2.4.9 is more than another routine platform update. Released on May 12, 2026, it introduces major framework changes, moves Magento toward PHP 8.5, replaces several legacy components, and raises new questions about third-party extension compatibility. For merchants planning a Magento 2 upgrade, this means checking not only server requirements and custom code but also every extension responsible for critical data flows.

In this guide, we explain the most important Magento 2.4.9 changes that can affect extensions, including the move away from Laminas MVC and Zend Cache, the introduction of Symfony Cache, HugeRTE, and native OAuth functionality.

We also examine Magento 2.4.9 import and export behavior, steps you should take before upgrading a production store, and, most importantly, Magento 2.4.9 extension compatibility from an import/export perspective, explaining what Improved Import & Export users should verify before moving to the new release. If your store depends on automated product imports, scheduled exports, ERP or CRM integrations, APIs, or external data sources, include these checks in your Magento 2 upgrade plan. Continue Reading

- E-Commerce, Magento 2

Magento CLI: product export

Although most Magento 2 administrators prefer working with their e-commerce website’s strengths in the admin area, there are still many people who require the same management opportunities to be implemented with the command-line interface. However, the default data transfer solutions of Magento 2 Open Source and Adobe Commerce don’t support Magento CLI commands. Both import and export tools are enough for basic purposes only. If you want to export products from Magento 2 via CLI, you need a third-party solution. In the following material, we describe how to transfer data via CLI from your e-commerce website (Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce) with the help of Improved Import & Export.

B2B e-commerce comes with a different set of requirements than traditional online retail. Businesses need to manage company accounts, customer-specific pricing, purchasing permissions, shared catalogs, quotes, and repeat orders — all within a single commerce environment. That is where Adobe Commerce B2B, often referred to as Magento B2B, becomes especially useful. Its native Magento 2 B2B features are designed to support complex buying relationships and give wholesalers, manufacturers, and enterprise merchants more control over how their customers purchase.

But managing B2B data can be challenging when your catalog, customer, ERP, CRM, or other business systems need to stay synchronized. Magento’s native data tools do not provide the same level of flexibility for importing and exporting B2B entities as they do for many standard store data types.

This is where the Improved Import & Export extension by Firebear adds value. It extends Magento’s data transfer capabilities with dedicated support for Magento 2 B2B entities, making it easier to exchange companies, shared catalogs, negotiable quotes, requisition lists, and other data with external systems.

In this guide, we break down the main Adobe Commerce B2B features, explain how Magento 2 B2B functionality works, and show how to import and export key B2B data efficiently.

Migrating a Magento 2 B2B store or managing company data across multiple websites can quickly become a challenge, especially when the default Magento tools fall short.

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about working with Magento 2 company accounts.

Need to structure static content in Magento 2? That’s where the Magento 2 CMS page hierarchy comes into play. Exclusive to Adobe Commerce, this feature allows you to organize CMS pages into a parent-child structure, improving both frontend navigation and backend content management. While Open Source users are limited to flat page lists, Commerce merchants can create nested page layouts, define pagination, and control how menus appear on the storefront — all through a visual hierarchy of nodes.

In the following guide, we explore the Magento 2 page hierarchy in detail. We start by introducing the concept and explaining how it fits into the overall CMS system. You’ll learn how the node-based structure works, how to create and assign pages to it, and how to control menu layouts and pagination behavior. From there, we shift to data management, showing you how to import and export the Magento 2 CMS page hierarchy using the Improved Import & Export extension. Since the default platform offers no native way to transfer this content type in bulk, we also outline the extension’s role in automating these tasks.

Whether you’re building a content-heavy site section or migrating page structures between stores, the Magento page hierarchy — combined with flexible import/export tools — gives you full control over how your content is organized and deployed.
