Magento, an Adobe Company
Online shopping has made the retail world smaller than ever before. From a customer’s point of view, a click is a click, whether shopping domestically or internationally. But for an online seller, expanding into global markets means a host of new considerations and inherent complexity.
Layer 7 constitutes the front line in the battle against account takeover, API abuse and misuse, and injection-style attacks.
This should amplify the acquisition benefits of our Gamification of review collection – using AI-powered prompts and a progress bar to encourage customers to write longer reviews, covering specific topics of the brand’s choosing.
Three years after Adobe’s acquisition of Magento, the eCommerce platform is now officially rebranding. Adobe is consolidating its commerce product brand from Magento Commerce and Adobe Commerce Cloud to a single brand known as Adobe Commerce, powered by Magento.
ShipperHQ, the Official Pre-Purchase Shipping Solution for Adobe Commerce, recently released a new guide that shows how merchants can create a checkout that rivals Amazon’s. This guide shows merchants how they can replicate Amazon experiences, like free shipping, accurate delivery dates and convenient shipping choices, with limited time, resources and funds.

Webscale Cloud Application Testing allows merchants to evaluate their site’s functionality after new code releases, and test performance at peak demand using real traffic logs.
With Enhanced Checkout for Adobe Commerce, merchants have access to:
- Make any site a Progressive Web App (PWA)—New properties allow configuring sites as PWAs to make them installable and available offline, with no need for coding. The feature requires Core Components.
- Content Fragment Model extensions—Continuing our Headless CMS development, Content Fragment models now allow authors to create lists of multiline as well as single line text fields in the editor.
- Commerce storefront product component configuration—Extending the Commerce Integration Framework, authors in Experience Manager can now use and configure product components on any content page – simplifying storefront authorship in Experience Manager.
In this light, Fastly has announced the new partnership with Okta to integrate their web application and API protection platform with Okta’s identity and access management platform. By feeding intelligence to Okta, Fastly expects to be able to help them spot potential bad actors to make better authentication decisions.
- Dynamic Media support for Connected Assets—Dynamic Media image support adds seamless preview, tuning, and publication of optimized content to Connected Assets, and includes support for image-based core components Image, Teaser, and Carousel.
- Schedule Bulk Asset Ingestions—Cloud Service customers can now streamline ingestion of bulk assets with a new scheduling capability that lets them select dates and times for one-time or recurring events.
Speaking of Amazon, during the Adobe Summit 2021, ShipperHQ also announced their newly upgraded Enhanced Checkout integration. Adobe Commerce merchants that integrate with ShipperHQ’s out-of-the-box PWA-powered checkout experience will gain access to Amazon-like customer-friendly capabilities including time-slot delivery, a calendar selector, and split shipping. Additional functionality includes robust order information like packing specifications, shipping rates and methods, and dispatch dates.
