Why Look for Adobe Commerce (Magento) Alternative?
Magento, now known as Adobe Commerce, is a popular eCommerce platform. However, some auto parts sellers find it difficult and expensive to use because it wasn’t built for their unique business needs. If you’re facing challenges with slow performance, a complex interface, or costly customizations, X-Cart is the solution you’ve been searching for.
Lack of Native Integrations and Essential Features
In Adobe Commerce, essential features like Year/Make/Model (YMM) fitment filters and VIN lookup tools aren’t included out of the box. You need complex, expensive customizations that can slow down your site.
X-Cart’s Solution
X-Cart comes with native YMM filters, VIN lookup, and integrations with industry partners like SEMA Data, ASAP Network, and Turn14 Distribution. Your customers will find the right parts fast, and you can automate your business processes.
No Single Point of Contact for Support
The free edition offers no official support, and navigating technical issues can be confusing. You may need to hire an external agency or developer, which adds to costs and frustration.
X-Cart’s Solution
Our in-house team of engineers provides 24/7 expert support. We built the platform, so we know it inside and out. You get one point of contact for faster solutions and less downtime.
Steep Learning Curve
The Magento eCommerce platform is known for its complex interface and requires a lot of technical know-how. Even simple tasks like updating a product or changing a banner can be difficult. You are forced to rely on developers for every change.
X-Cart’s Solution
The X-Cart admin panel is intuitive and easy to manage. You can update content, add new products, and run promotions without needing a developer. This puts you in control of your business and allows you to react to market changes instantly.
Complicated Custom Development
Adding new features or making changes to a Magento site is often a challenge. The platform’s architecture makes modifications difficult, and as your site ages, it becomes even harder to update.
X-Cart’s Solution
X-Cart’s architecture is stable and flexible. If you need a specific add-on or integration, we likely have it. If not, our in-house development team can build a custom solution for you.

5 Things X-Cart Offers That Adobe Commerce Doesn’t
Native Automotive Solution
X-Cart is built specifically for the automotive industry with native features like Year/Make/Model search and VIN lookup. Our platform also offers direct integrations with top automotive partners like SEMA Data and Turn 14 Distribution, which help you streamline your business operations.
While Adobe Commerce can be used for auto parts, it often results in slower performance, difficult catalog management, and limited customization.
Consistent and Stable Architecture
X-Cart is an easily upgradeable shopping cart solution, no matter how custom your website is. What’s more, X-Cart provides all professional services in-house, which means you’ll get support from the original developers, unlike Magento, where working with third-party web development agencies is standard practice.
Adobe Commerce (Magento) allows for extensive customization. However, you’ll need a third-party expert or agency to do multiple updates and upgrades to your core.
Personal Human Service
X-Cart offers easily accessible customer support 24/7 for all users + a dedicated project manager for authorized customers.
Adobe provides numerous toolkits under one brand umbrella, but lacks a transparent support system. If you think they have a single point of contact for customer care, it is not the case. In many ways, Adobe Commerce is still run as a separate platform and has not been fully integrated into the company. Besides, Adobe Commerce doesn’t offer support for its free edition — Magento Open Source.
Simple Navigation
The X-Cart interface is easier to manage on a daily basis. You can add products and create new content and promotions with no hassle, while your internal team can respond quickly and support initiatives without outside help.
Given that Adobe Commerce has a steep learning curve, you may have difficulty updating and syncing information even if you are not a newbie. Some merchants also claim that its interface is difficult to navigate.
Affordable Maintenance
Although X-Cart and Adobe Commerce (Magento) both allow for extensive customization, the difference is in how much money and effort you are ready to invest. The X-Cart platform is less expensive to develop, maintain, host, and customize. Plus, the professional X-Cart crew is ready to jump on your project anytime.
Adobe Commerce can be a costly solution, especially for small businesses, depending on the size of your online business, your store’s AOV (average order value), and annual online revenue. Not to mention long-term maintenance costs.

FAQs
- How long does it take to migrate from Magento to X-Cart?
