Frequently asked questions
Magento is the most popular ecommerce platform available with an estimated market share of around 26%. Magento is open source meaning you have full control of the source code making it completely customisable.
Magento provides a huge array of features out of the box including the ability to create multiple store views, B2B features such as customer groups and tiered pricing options, fully customisable cart and catalog price rules and endless opportunities for store customisation.
Magento includes multiple licence types, these include Magento Open Source, Magento Commerce and Magento Commerce Cloud. Magento Open Source is a free to use, open source licence meaning anyone can download, install and customise the platform for commercial use.
Magento Commerce on the other hand is a paid for licence. Magento Commerce includes more functionality than the standard Magento Open Source package including for example Magento page builder, content staging and scheduling, more comprehensive visual merchandising capabilities and access to Magento’s technical support.
Lastly, Magento Commerce Cloud is identical to Magento Commerce but instead of hosting it on you or your agencies web servers, they are hosted on Magento’s own cloud servers.
Fundamentally, all of them are open source, giving you the complete freedom to customise.
As a Magento agency this is a common misconception we often hear. In most cases the question arises when comparing Magento’s features and fees against SaaS packages such as Shopify.
Magento Open Source for example is free and gives a huge array of features that would only be achievable with premium versions of other ecommerce packages.
The costs with Magento arise due to its complexity. The three main costs associated with having a Magento website include initial setup, your server and ongoing support.
As you can imagine, with this amount of features means that Magento as an application is quite large and requires a reasonable amount of server resources to run.
Depending on your store’s catalog size and traffic levels will dictate the type of server you will require.
Magento is a complex application requiring a variety of skills to modify and run. Simply put, a Magento agency will provide you with all of the necessary resource required to run a successful Magento website.
These include certified Magento back-end developers, Magento front-end developers, QA engineers, technical project managers and account managers dedicated to reviewing your stores performance.
With Magento being open source and with the ever changing landscape of internet security, frequent updates and security patches are required and highly recommended. Your Magento agency should advise on this and give a transparent breakdown of potential time and costs associated.
Magento agency support plans often include minor version updates and security patches.
As a Magento agency we are going to shout about our own work including Executive Shaving, GB Watch Shop, Zasimo and Appliance Shop to name a few.
For other recognisable brands using Magento, these include:
As a Magento agency, we work not only with B2C retailers but also D2C manufacturers and B2B brands.
Unlike other ecommerce platforms, Magento is great for B2B. Out of the box Magento functionality includes the ability to tailor customer groups meaning you can set varying levels of pricing between customer types.
You can also close the catalog and require the customer to login to view prices or even set separate retail and trade prices.
Another area that might be beneficial is the multi-store options. When you have a separate retail and trade store front for example, trade customers can have a completely separate experience to retail customers for example different literature, marketing material, banners and so on.

Get started
Welcome Business Owner,
I’m Ryan Findlay, owner and Managing Director of Hudson Commerce.
You’ll hear alot of agencies shouting about their USPs. So what’s ours?
We don’t focus on technical jargon(although that sometimes creeps into the conversation), impressions or clicks, we’re focused on your return on investment.
Simply put, we’re focussed on customer growth and approaching every project from a commercial perspective not just a technical or creative one.
What can we do for your retail business, what’s your pain points? How can we improve efficiency, generate sales or reduce overheads?
Although we specialise in core platforms like Magento and Shopify, our experience goes far beyond. For example, we write systems integrations, middleware and apps in a number of different languages for inventory and warehouse management systems.
We consult on business intelligence from adapting and deploying buyer reports to accounting. We’re required to plan, manage and continually optimise a diverse portfolio of digital media budgets spanning a range of verticals.
Having these diverse, business changing conversations with our customers on a daily basis requires a different level of team and that starts with our internal culture. We don’t look for specialists in any particular platform.
We hire customer-centric programmers, strategists and marketers with a data-driven, analytical approach who fit culturally and align with our core principles; Customer success, quality of work and efficiency of service.
