NOTE
Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source releases 2.4.0 through 2.4.3 included the Vertex vendor-developed extension used to integrate with the Vertex Cloud. Starting with the 2.4.4 release, this extension is no longer bundled with the core release and must be installed and updated from the Commerce Marketplace. The Marketplace also provides access to current documentation provided by the extension developer.



If you have the bundled extension enabled and configured, you must update your composer.json file as part of the 2.4.4 upgrade process and to manage extension updates going forward. See Upgrade modules and extensions in the Upgrade Guide for more information.

To access the store configuration settings, choose Stores > Settings > Configuration from the Admin sidebar.
