It\u2019s an open-source platform, which means you have full access to the source code and can customize it to fit your business needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Magento was first released in 2008 and has since become extremely popular. Today, it\u2019s owned by Adobe, which ensures continuous development, regular updates, and access to cutting-edge technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/mediaflex.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/image-5-1024x484.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mediaflex.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/image-5-1024x484.png 1024w, https:\/\/mediaflex.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/image-5-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/mediaflex.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/image-5-768x363.png 768w, https:\/\/mediaflex.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/image-5.png 1227w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-two-versions-of-magento\">Two versions of Magento<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Magento is available in two main versions, designed for different business sizes and needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Magento Open Source<\/strong> \u2013 the free version, ideal for companies that want a flexible platform without paying for a license.
