Magento is an e-commerce platform used to support the back-end business processes for a company server. The software provides a wide variety of features and controls, as well as control over the functionality and look of the e-commerce platform. There are three different editions to the software: the Enterprise Edition, the Professional Edition and the Community Edition. The Enterprise Edition has the most features, the Professional Edition is the mid-range option and the Community Edition comes with the fewest features.
