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. By default, Magento 2 doesn’t support importing or exporting B2B companies, nor does it allow syncing Magento 2 company structures between installations. That means you’re often left recreating each B2B company account manually — a tedious and error-prone process.

But what if there was a faster, more reliable way to import Magento 2 B2B companies, including their structure, roles, and credit settings?

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about working with Magento 2 company accounts. You’ll learn what a B2B company is in Magento, how its structure works, and how to import key elements — from company roles to company credit — using CSV files. Whether you’re migrating an existing store or managing company data at scale, this tutorial will show you how to simplify the process with powerful import tools.. Continue Reading

Store credit in Magento 2 is a useful feature that gives merchants a flexible way to issue value to customers and let them use it toward future purchases.

We also clarify how you can add similar functionality as a Magento Open Source merchant.

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.

- Magento 2

Today, Magento 2 system requirements depend on more than just choosing the right PHP version or server. The requirements vary by Magento release and, importantly, by deployment model. Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce On-Premises share many of the same core infrastructure requirements, while Adobe Commerce on Cloud Infrastructure follows a different approach with its own platform dependencies.

In this guide, we break down the Magento 2 system requirements you need to know before installing, upgrading, or migrating a store. We cover PHP versions and extensions, databases, OpenSearch and Elasticsearch, Composer, RabbitMQ, Valkey, Varnish, nginx, operating systems, memory, SSL, and other essential dependencies.

Magento 2 Search Terms & Synonyms: Full Guide to Import, Export & Optimization

Need to take control of how customers search your Magento 2 store? Let’s talk about two powerful — yet often overlooked — tools: search terms and search synonyms. Together, they shape how your catalog responds to real-world queries, helping shoppers find what they need even when they don’t use the exact product name.

Out of the box, Magento 2 gives you basic tools to manage search terms and define synonyms manually. But here’s the catch — there’s no built-in way to import Magento 2 search terms in bulk. And when it comes to importing search synonyms, you’re stuck with one-by-one editing. That might work for a handful of changes, but if you’re managing a large catalog or syncing search data across stores, manual updates quickly become a time sink.

That’s where the Improved Import & Export extension steps in. This powerful module unlocks the ability to import and export both search terms and search synonyms in Magento 2, saving hours of manual work and giving you full control over catalog search behavior.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how Magento 2 search terms and synonyms work, how to manage them efficiently with import/export jobs, and which attributes you’ll need to work with. Whether you’re cleaning up legacy data, optimizing internal search, or launching a multi-store setup, we’ve got you covered.
