Platform support matrix
A check means the app fully supports the platform. A dash means the app does not support that platform. A small note explains nuances.| App | BigCommerce | Shopify | Adobe Commerce | Magento Open Source | Amazon | eBay | Walmart | OnBuy / Cdiscount / FNAC / Rakuten | Custom storefront |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| StagingPro | yes | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — |
| RollbackPro | yes | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — |
| Vortex Staging | — | yes | — | — | — | — | — | — | — |

- StagingPro / RollbackPro / Vortex Staging / Vortex Backup are platform-bound by design. The internals of staging and backup require platform-specific hooks that do not abstract.
- DryRunPro supports Adobe Commerce Cloud (the SaaS edition, also called Magento Cloud). It does not support Magento Open Source or self-hosted Adobe Commerce on-premise.
- CloudHub integrates with Shopify and BigCommerce as channels (one of many destinations for the master SKU), not as the primary storefront platform. If you only sell through one Shopify or BigCommerce store, CloudHub is overkill.
- App Builder is platform-agnostic. It reads from any connector authenticated in the workspace and writes through whatever channels are wired up.
