Depends

Depends

Fit only if you run a mid-market or larger Magento/Adobe Commerce or Shopify Plus store and can absorb bespoke agency pricing.

Full-service Magento/Shopify Plus agency, not software. Right for complex mid-market stores; overkill and price-opaque for small ones.

Feature depth4

Build, integration, AI, whitelabel across platforms.

Support quality3

Directory claims 24/7 support; unverified independently.

Security posture3

Documented Magento CVE response; own security page missing.

Pros

  • Full-service: Magento/Adobe Commerce, Shopify Plus, integrations, AI, whitelabel¹
  • Publishes in-depth Magento and Shopify Plus platform reviews³
  • Rapid documented response to Magento SessionReaper CVE for clients
  • Offers whitelabel eCommerce delivery for other agencies
  • Backed by BSS Group acquisition; expanded European reach

Cons

  • Agency services, not software — nothing to self-serve or trial¹
  • No published rates; every engagement is a custom quote²
  • No /security page found despite heavy security marketing
  • No independent client reviews surfaced in public sources11

Gotchas

  • highAdobe Commerce licensing cited at ~$2,300/month base before agency fees — budget platform plus services.
  • mediumNo rates published anywhere; expect a sales call before any cost estimate.²
  • mediumRecently acquired by BSS Group; team and processes may shift post-deal.
  • mediumGuess: Magento/Adobe projects create deep lock-in; replatforming off Magento is slow and costly.

Best for

  • Mid-market Magento/Adobe Commerce stores
  • B2B commerce needing ERP integration
  • Agencies wanting whitelabel Magento dev
  • Shopify Plus migration projects

Not for

  • Small stores — self-serve Shopify costs less
  • Buyers wanting listed pricing — none exists
  • Anyone shopping for a software product
  • Solo founders needing a store this week

Security

No On Tap breaches found; agency actively patches Magento CVEs (e.g., SessionReaper) for clients.

  • Magento/Adobe Commerce SessionReaper (CVE-2025-54236)Platform-level vulnerability affecting stores they build; On Tap updated client sites in response.
