While getting started with Magento, the question you need to address first is which version of Magento would best suit your needs and be the right fit for your organization. There are 3 versions of Magento to consider.
The first is the Magento Open Source. This is the freely available version of Magento used by the majority of the users. It is suitable for everyone ranging from entrepreneurs to MSMEs. Although leveraging the open-source version Magento will require immense technical expertise. We suggest you consider partnering with a Magento development service provider after careful evaluation of their capabilities.
The second is Magento Commerce which is similar to the offering provided by the popular eCommerce platform, Shopify.
The third is Magento Enterprise, the premium version of Magento that offers more functionality that adds value to enterprise-level retailers. Being pricey, this Magento version is not really advisable for mid-level retailers.
