We secure, upgrade, build and support Magento stores, and tell you plainly when it is time to move.
Refined Commerce builds, upgrades and maintains Magento Open Source, Adobe Commerce and Mage-OS stores for merchants in the UK and Ireland, from small independent shops to enterprise estates: security, upgrades, Magento 1 migration, audits, development, support and Business Central integration. One senior team and one point of contact, at £80 an hour.
Start from the job, not the service name. Each route leads to a page that says what is included, how the work is done and how it is priced.
Unpatched, exposed or already showing signs of trouble.
A Magento 2 release out of support, or a store still on Magento 1.
A slow Luma frontend, weak Core Web Vitals or a checkout that loses orders.
Features, integrations and an ERP that should agree with the shop.
Someone answerable every month, with response times in writing.
A store another agency built, or a platform you have outgrown.
Each has its own page with what it includes, how the work is done, how it is priced and the questions merchants ask.
Three close relatives. The one you use decides your support dates, your licence bill and some of your options.
Our usual advice, and what we run for most merchants: a supported release, ideally 2.4.8 or 2.4.9, kept patched.
The same code underneath, and we work on it gladly. We have yet to see a store where the licence paid for itself; the same money spent on development usually does more.
Extensions and themes carry across. It suits some stores, not all.
Dates read from Adobe's lifecycle policy, released versions and security bulletins on 31st October 2026. 2.4.8 is supported to 31st May 2028 and 2.4.9 to 31st May 2029.

The free health check: one page on where your store stands, read from its public pages. Nothing is accessed or tested.
Within two working daysWhat we found, what we would do about it and what it is likely to cost, once we have examined the store. Larger scopes are refined as the detail is agreed.
Before anything startsWork is done on a copy of the store and tested there, then deployed at a quiet time with a way back.
ThroughoutEach piece of work listed with its own price, whether you work with us ad hoc or on a monthly retainer.
MonthlyFor many stores, yes. Magento remains strong where catalogues are complex, pricing differs by customer group, several stores share one admin, or an ERP sits behind the shop. It costs more to maintain than a hosted platform, so it earns its keep only when you use that depth. If you do not, we will say so and show you the Shopify route.
Adobe Commerce is the paid edition of Magento, with extra features, a licence fee and longer support for each release. Magento Open Source is the free edition most UK stores run. The code, releases and upgrade path underneath are the same, so every service on these pages applies to both.
The free health check reads it from your public pages and tells you, with the support date and PHP version, within two working days. If you have admin access, the release number is also shown in the footer of the Magento admin.
Adobe stops shipping fixes for it. On Magento Open Source, 2.4.6 received its last fix on 11th August 2026, and Adobe's September bulletin APSB26-138 lists 2.4.6 as affected with no fix for it. Until you upgrade, fixes have to be backported by whoever maintains the store.
Yes, and most of our Magento clients came to us that way. We start with a read-only look at the code, the hosting and the patch state, and you get a written picture of what you have before anything is changed or estimated.
Every size. We have helped start-ups on small budgets get trading on Magento with Hyvä, and we work on stores turning over many millions of pounds a year online. The senior team and the single point of contact are the same for both; what changes is the size of the plan.
Yes. We can keep a Magento 1 store patched and trading while you plan, and we move Magento 1 stores to Magento 2 with the catalogue, customers, orders and search rankings carried across. Our Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration page sets out how.
Yes. Moves to Magento from WooCommerce, OpenCart, PrestaShop, a bespoke system or an older Magento follow the same plan: the data is mapped and moved in rehearsals, every indexed URL is redirected, and the new store is tested on staging before the switch.
Yes. We write modules to Magento's coding standards and connect stores to ERPs, warehouses, payment providers, couriers, marketplaces and marketing platforms. Where a well-supported module already does the job, we will tell you, because it is usually cheaper. See Magento development.
Yes: customer-group pricing, company accounts, quotes, quick order, credit limits and catalogues that differ by customer. Most of it can be built on Magento Open Source with modules and custom work, without the Adobe Commerce licence.
No. We work with the specialist Magento hosts and will recommend one that suits the size and traffic of your store, then manage the server with them on your behalf. You hold the hosting contract, so you are never tied to us by it.
Technical SEO is part of our work: speed, structured data, redirects, canonical tags and crawl health. Design is done in-house for the stores we build. For content marketing, link building and paid media we introduce specialist partners.
Yes. We show your team how to manage products, categories, content, promotions and orders on your own store, and we write short guides for the tasks you do most.
Give us the address and we will read what the store already shows the world: release, support status, PHP, headers, hosting and any sign of a hijack. One page, by email, within two working days. Nothing is accessed or tested.
What we would do first. Apply the outstanding security fixes, then plan the upgrade to a supported release.
