Magento 2.4 & Extension Development

With eCommerce being more dynamic than ever before, the Magento 2 platform is shifting into high gear, releasing updates regularly. This is fantastic for performance, security, and overall growth, but it also brings a downside many merchants face: incompatibilities.

New Magento releases often rewrite or change core functionality, which can cause extensions to malfunction or stop working altogether. For merchants, this creates a dilemma every time a new version comes out:

“Do I update Magento to benefit from enhancements, security patches, and new features, while risking store instability? Or do I stay on an older version to keep my extensions working, but sacrifice security?”

This balancing act is a real challenge—but that’s where WeltPixel steps in.

Our Commitment to Compatibility

One of our core values is ensuring Magento version compatibility. Merchants using our products should never have to worry about extension failures after upgrading.

We release updates regularly for improvements and optimizations, but our top priority is always compatibility. Whenever Magento rolls out a new version, we follow up within one to two weeks with a dedicated compatibility release (depending on the scope of changes in Magento). This provides a level of security and peace of mind many vendors cannot offer.

Example: Magento 2.4.0

When Magento 2.4.0 was released, both our Pearl Theme and all our standalone extensions were promptly updated for compatibility. This ensures that merchants starting fresh on 2.4.0—or upgrading to it—can build confidently on a stable foundation.

Over the years, we’ve learned that the community values quality and reliability over quantity. While some vendors focus on creating hundreds of extensions, keeping each updated with every Magento release is unsustainable. Too often, those products are left to “rot” as priorities shift.

At WeltPixel, we prioritize maintaining and future-proofing our defining products, ensuring they remain compatible and high-performing across every Magento version.

Adaptability is Key

The eCommerce industry is fast-moving. The ability to adapt quickly has become one of the most valuable resources for businesses and individuals alike.

Adaptability can be the difference between keeping pace with the competition—or getting left behind. Our philosophy has always been to build dynamic, future-ready solutions that grow alongside the Magento ecosystem and your business.
