Why are Adobe Commerce merchants looking for alternatives?
The four friction points we hear most from merchants who have switched to ZenBasket.
01
Prohibitive Entry Cost
Starting at $22,000 annually with no monthly payment flexibility, the platform demands a massive upfront financial commitment. This high barrier to entry often makes the software unreachable for most small to mid-sized businesses.
02
Heavy Developer Dependency
Launching a store or making simple design changes requires advanced coding skills. This forces businesses to retain an expensive technical team or agency permanently just to keep the storefront functional and competitive.
03
Manual Security Burden
Unlike automated SaaS platforms, Adobe places the high-risk responsibility of monthly security patches on the user. This requires a dedicated technical team to manually protect the site against vulnerabilities and data breaches.
04
Feature Fragmentation
Essential sales tools like size charts and affiliate programs are missing from the core software. Users must source, purchase, and technically integrate various third-party plugins, leading to increased costs and potential system instability.
