About Magento® eCommerce
Magento® – www.MagentoCommerce.com – is the eCommerce software platform for growth that promises to revolutionize the industry. Although fairly new, Magento eCommerce Platform provides the scalability, flexibility and features for business growth, promising merchants complete flexibility and control over the presentation, content, and functionality of their online channel. Important to note though, is the significant difference between the various Editions being the FREE “Community” Edition, the $2,995 USD/yr “Professional” Edition, and the $12,990 USD/yr “Enterprise”. See a PDF comparison of the Editions here.
