Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Mage-OS and Magento Open Source?

Mage-OS is an upstream-compatible distribution built on top of Magento Open Source. We include all the same core functionality plus community-developed enhancements like faster security patches, performance optimizations, PCI DSS 4.0 compliance features, and AI-powered translation tools.

Will my existing Magento extensions work with Mage-OS?

Yes. Mage-OS maintains 100% compatibility with existing Magento 2 extensions, themes, and integrations. We carefully evaluate every change to ensure your ecosystem continues working seamlessly.

How difficult is it to migrate from Magento to Mage-OS?

Migration is straightforward and typically takes 15-30 minutes. Update your composer.json to use the Mage-OS repository, run composer update, and deploy. No code changes are required in most cases.

Is there a cost to use Mage-OS?

Mage-OS Distribution is completely free and open source under the OSL 3.0 and AFL 3.0 licenses. There are no licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, and no hidden costs. The project is funded by community contributions and partnerships. For a complete breakdown of hosting, development, and maintenance costs, see our Cost of Ownership Guide.

How does Mage-OS handle security patches?

Security issues are prioritized and fixed quickly through an open, transparent review process. Critical patches ship as soon as they are validated by the community, not on quarterly corporate schedules.

Can I migrate back to Magento if needed?

Yes. Mage-OS maintains full database and API compatibility with Magento Open Source. Migration back to upstream is documented and supported if your needs change.
