E-commerce platform lifecycle

NP Ecommerce is the NaviPartner’s web solution used by all of our customers’ webshops. It is built on Magento Open Source, a PHP-based e-commerce platform.

Therefore, NP Ecommerce is following the Magento Open Source release cycle, and Magento Open Source is following PHP releases.
