One of the most attractive aspects of Adobe Commerce is the open-source nature of the platform. This has allowed developers to create a wealth of Adobe Commerce extensions that expand on the platform’s native functionality.

The Adobe Commerce Marketplace offers thousands of extensions that add small, subtle features for everything from usability or simple promotions to complex Adobe Commerce extensions that add robust marketing or warehouse management.

In this article, we’ll look at 20 of the most highly rated and best Adobe Commerce extensions you should consider using in your online store.

These Adobe Commerce extensions help you create a shopping experience more likely to improve conversions by appealing to your target audience.

12. Smart Search Autocomplete

Smart Search Autocomplete

While a portion of your audience will browse through your store with a general idea of what they’re looking for, some customers have a solid idea of what they want. When you offer a quality site search, customers can quickly find what they’re looking for.

Rather than just provide simple keyword matching, this extension has powerful autocomplete capabilities to reduce the number of clicks and taps it takes a customer to find the product they want.

15. Custom Stock Status

Amasty Custom Stock Status extension

For decades businesses have used a sense of urgency to spur prospective customers to take action. Creating a sense of urgency forces customers to act fast and make emotional decisions on the fly. This is most effective for customers who are interested in a product but are likely to hold on a purchase in order to think about it.

Amazon leverages this tactic on product pages, showing customers messages like “Only three left in stock,” which prompts customers to order now to avoid missing out.
