Last update: Tue Oct 14 2025 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

CREATED FOR:

  • Experienced
  • Admin
  • Developer

Adobe Commerce beta programs are a way for merchants to get access to prerelease features and code, provide feedback, and guide the future of Adobe Commerce. There are two types of beta programs:

  • Public Beta: A public beta program is available to all Adobe Commerce customers and partners
  • Private Beta: A private beta program may require an approval based on qualifying criteria to participate
IMPORTANT
Beta releases may contain defects and are provided “AS IS” without warranty of any kind. Adobe has no obligation to maintain, correct, update, change, modify or otherwise support (via Adobe Support Services or otherwise) the beta releases. Customers are advised to use caution and not to rely in any way on the correct functioning or performance of the beta releases and/or any accompanying documentation or materials. Features and APIs in beta are subject to change without notice. Accordingly, any use of the beta releases is entirely at the customer’s own risk.

Benefits of participating

Getting early access to features that Adobe is developing provides customers and partners with the ability to provide feedback, shape product development, and prepare to adopt new capabilities before general availability.

Current Beta Programs

See the following sections for a list of active beta programs.

Cloud Automation Patching Service (Private Beta)

The Cloud Automation Patching Service automates the process of applying isolated security patches to your Adobe Commerce on Cloud Infrastructure environments.

In October 2025, the beta release of the Cloud Automation Patching Service will be added to the Site-Wide Analysis tool dashboard. This service supports Commerce project administrators with a streamlined patching workflow that includes:

  • Automated patch installation
  • Rollback recovery
  • Post-deployment verification.

The service ensures that you can maintain secure, stable, and updated environments with minimal manual effort and risk.

The beta includes the following features:

  • Automate patch installation: Simplify and automate the process of patching critical vulnerabilities across environments.
  • Minimize risk: Prevent site outages with post-deployment health check and rollback capabilities.
NOTE
Since the Cloud Automation Patching Service applies isolated security patches automatically, you must have the Contributor or Project Admin role to use it.

To participate in this beta, complete and submit the Cloud Automation Patching Service - Beta Signup Form.

IBM Sterling Order Management System Integration (Private Beta)

This integration accelerator for IBM Sterling Order Management enables Adobe Commerce customers to get started with advanced order management capabilities powered by IBM Sterling OMS. With this integration merchants get:

  • Real-time visibility into inventory levels and accurate delivery dates for your customers.
  • Automated sourcing for orders based on configurable rules, so you can optimize your fulfillment network and inventory.
  • A universal view of orders across channels from a single dashboard so your support teams can deliver exceptional service and identify and handle exceptions quickly.
  • A templated return management flow to simplify returns management.

To participate in this beta, send an email request to sbieber@adobe.com.

Adobe Commerce Foundation (Public Alpha/Beta)

Each Adobe Commerce Foundation alpha and beta releases include all the changes delivered to Adobe Commerce core code by the scheduled release date, including, but not limited to the following functional areas:

  • Latest security fixes
  • Performance improvements
  • GraphQL improvements
  • General quality bug fixes
  • Community contributions
  • Changes required to support compatibility with Adobe Commerce services

Naming convention and schedule

Adobe typically releases alpha and beta patches several times a year.

Alpha release packages have a -alphaX suffix. For example, the Adobe Commerce 2.4.7 alpha release packages use the following naming convention:

  • 2.4.7-alpha1
  • 2.4.7-alpha2

Beta release packages have a -betaX suffix. For example, the Adobe Commerce 2.4.7 beta release packages use the following naming convention:

  • 2.4.7-beta1
  • 2.4.7-beta2

See the release schedule for the list of upcoming public alpha and beta release dates.

Release access

Adobe Commerce alpha and beta releases are distributed in the same way as any other Adobe Commerce patch release: as Composer metapackages on https://repo.magento.com. The source code is available on GitHub.

See Composer installation quick start for more details.

Issue reporting

Adobe does not provide the standard Adobe Support Service for alpha and beta releases.

To submit feedback related to alpha and beta releases, follow the regular issue reporting flow on GitHub.

Adobe monitors all critical issues reported against the latest alpha or beta release and prioritizes them to be resolved prior to the GA release date.
