Best Magento agencies in Canada 2026: 6 ranked

scandiweb ranks first on this page for Canadian merchants whose Magento (Adobe Commerce) build has an ERP, a PIM, or more than one market in scope. Its Canada page states a JYSK Canada result of +20.1% checkout conversion rate and a PUMA result of +73.98% organic revenue year over year in Canada. Those are two projects' results as scandiweb reports them, not a forecast for another store. For a contained build in the Greater Toronto Area with a same-city team, Kinex Media, which states an Adobe Silver and a Hyvä Silver tier, is the closer fit.

Kinex Media ranks second. On its own site it states an Adobe Silver Solution Partner tier and a Hyvä Silver Partner tier, and hyva.io's agency finder lists it under Canada at Silver, so one of the two tiers is on a third-party page. Its Magento page names Gourmet Trading Co with 129% higher conversions and Nasco Education as a storefront built on Hyvä. Clutch lists 12 reviews at 5.0, a $5,000 minimum, and Magento as 70% of its eCommerce platform work. That minimum is why it fits a Toronto mid-market build that scandiweb's $25,000 Clutch minimum does not.

No agency was disqualified. Points were lost where the record is thin rather than bad. MageMontreal's site refused our reader twice on 22 September and loaded on 23 September, when its homepage showed an Adobe Solution Partner Silver badge and a bilingual team but no case with a number, so its figures rest on Clutch and DesignRush. OptiWeb Marketing's Magento page states a Google Partner badge and no Adobe or Hyvä tier. Bellwood's own site does not mention Magento, though Clutch puts Magento at 30% of its eCommerce work. Kodershop's site has no Magento page, and Clutch puts Magento at 10% of its eCommerce systems.

Three things changed since the July edition. scandiweb's Canada page now says the practice is run from Montreal on Eastern Time, where the July page said Burnaby, British Columbia; no page read in September lists a Burnaby office, and Clutch lists New York and Riga as its two locations. hyva.io now states that the Hyvä theme is free and open source under the OSL and AFL licenses, where the July guide described a paid license. And Kinex Media's Hyvä Silver tier is now on hyva.io's finder, which the July table showed as absent.

Read the ranking table for the short version, the per-agency section for the attributed facts, the scenarios for a situation like yours, and the evidence ledger for every URL with its retrieval date and status. Where scandiweb is the answer, the section on when not to choose scandiweb names the agency that is.

1. The Canadian office is not where the work happens. An agency lists a Canadian address, but the build runs from another time zone and replies arrive overnight. Kodershop's support page describes that model as its own: a local team sets requirements by day and a remote team works overnight. The presence criterion scores a stated overlap, such as scandiweb's Toronto page saying standups happen in Toronto business hours, above an address on its own.
2. A partner tier that lives only on the agency's site. A tier badge on a homepage is a claim until a directory shows it. Of the six, only two tiers are on a page outside the agency: scandiweb's Hyvä Platinum on hyva.io and Kinex Media's Hyvä Silver on hyva.io's finder. Adobe's directory did not render without a partner login on the retrieval date, so every Adobe tier on this page is the agency's own statement and is scored as one.
3. Magento as a sideline. Clutch splits each agency's eCommerce work by platform. MageMontreal shows Magento at 70% and Kinex Media at 70%; Bellwood shows 30%, OptiWeb Marketing 35%, and Kodershop 10%. A store hiring a team whose Magento share is a tenth of a tenth of its work should read that split before the rating. The review criterion weights that share, not the headline rating.
4. The Hyvä rebuild that is a Luma repaint. Hyvä's documentation states the theme is built on Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js and needs Magento 2.4.4-p9, 2.4.5-p8, 2.4.6-p7, or 2.4.7-p1 or higher. A store still on an older patch, or a theme that keeps the old JavaScript stack under a new skin, gets none of the benefit. Ask for the live storefront and the Magento version it runs on; the tier criterion only credits Hyvä work an agency can show.
5. A bilingual storefront done as a translation plugin. The OQLF states that a business active in Quebec must give consumers a complete French version of its website. A plugin that translates the visible text leaves transactional emails, error messages, and product data in English. The Quebec scenarios on this page favor agencies that state French delivery, such as MageMontreal, whose Clutch profile lists English and French, and scandiweb, whose Canada practice is run from Montreal.
6. Integration described in one line. scandiweb's Wainbee case states that only 10% of Wainbee's items were online before a PIM was introduced, out of more than 600,000 products from suppliers in different file formats. That is what one line of 'ERP integration included' hides. The integration criterion credits a named system in a published case and nothing else.
7. Tracking that breaks Law 25 defaults. The Commission d'accès à l'information states that since September 2023 technologies that identify or profile a person may not be switched on by default, and that a privacy policy in plain terms must be on the website. A storefront that fires analytics and personalization tags on first load fails both. Ask the agency which consent setup it ships for Quebec traffic.
8. Minimum project size mismatch. Clutch lists scandiweb's minimum at $25,000 and Bellwood's at $25,000, against $5,000 at Kinex Media, MageMontreal, and OptiWeb Marketing. A merchant with a $15,000 budget who shortlists the first two spends a month on calls that end in a no. The published-terms criterion puts the minimum on the ranking card so the mismatch is visible before the first call.
9. Support with no written commitment. Of the six, only Kodershop puts a response promise in writing, stating on its support page that it will contact you within 24 hours, and scandiweb's Canada page says support and fixes land in your business hours. Kinex Media lists support and managed hosting as a service without a time. A store that goes down on a Friday needs the number in the contract, not the brochure.

Two of the six agencies on this page are on hyva.io. Its partners page lists scandiweb as a Platinum partner and states 15+ certified Hyvä developers and 40+ Hyvä projects delivered, and its agency finder lists Kinex Media under Canada at Silver. MageMontreal, OptiWeb Marketing, Bellwood, and Kodershop do not appear on either page as read on 22 September 2026. hyva.io's partners page groups partners as Platinum, Gold, and Silver, its agency finder also shows a Bronze tier, and the partners page states that 7,000+ online stores use its products.

The theme's cost changed since the July edition of this site. hyva.io's license page now states that the Hyvä theme is open source and free, available on GitHub and through free license keys under the OSL and AFL licenses, with up to 5 keys per customer account or a joint 50 per agency partner group, and that 6,000+ merchants use it. The July guide described a paid one-time license per store; that description is withdrawn, and a merchant quoted a theme license fee in 2026 should ask what it covers.

What Hyvä is, per its documentation: a Magento 2 theme built on Tailwind CSS, which needs Node.js 20 or higher on development instances, and Alpine.js. The documentation sets the Magento floor at 2.4.4-p9, 2.4.5-p8, 2.4.6-p7, or 2.4.7-p1 or higher. Set against Adobe's lifecycle dates, that floor matters: 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 left extended support on 14 April and 11 August 2026, 2.4.6 left regular support on 11 August 2026 with extended support to 31 August 2027, and 2.4.7 stays in regular support to 31 May 2027. A Hyvä project on a store below those patches is an upgrade project first.

How to check any agency in five minutes: search its name on hyva.io's partners page or agency finder, take the tier shown there as the fact, ask for one live Hyvä storefront the team built, and ask which Magento version it runs. Kinex Media's Hyvä page states that Hyvä scores 100 out of 100 in Google PageSpeed as a theme capability; that is a claim about the theme, not about a client store, and the live URL is the test. The ranking's tier criterion credits only the listing and the storefront, never the badge.

Two Quebec sources set the brief for any store selling into the province, and both were read on 22 September 2026. The Office québécois de la langue française states that every business active in Quebec must offer its products and services in French, that consumers have the right to a complete French version of a business's website, that commercial publications, which it says include websites and social media content, must be written in French, and that all information on a product, its packaging, or an accompanying document must be in French. In public signage and commercial advertising, French must be clearly predominant.

The OQLF's business page adds that the law on the official and common language of Quebec, French, brought new obligations into force on 1 June 2025, chiefly on the display of trademarks and business names and on trademarks appearing on products. For a Magento store that means the product catalog, the checkout, transactional emails, and error messages all need French versions, which in Magento is a second store view with its own content and catalog attributes, not a front-end translation layer. Of the six agencies, MageMontreal's Clutch profile lists English and French, and scandiweb's Canada page says its practice is run from Montreal.

Law 25 is the privacy side. The Commission d'accès à l'information's summary of its main changes lists, from September 2023, that a person responsible for personal information protection must be designated and their title and contact details published online; that a privacy policy in simple and clear terms must be written and posted on the website; that consent must be manifest, free, informed, and given for specific purposes, with each purpose consented to separately; that a privacy impact assessment is required before personal information is communicated outside Quebec; that a register of confidentiality incidents must be kept; and that technologies that identify, locate, or profile a person may not be activated by default. From 22 September 2024, a person may ask for their data in a structured and commonly used format.

For a storefront the default-off rule is the one that changes the build. Analytics, personalization, and advertising tags that fire on first load are exactly the technologies the rule covers, so the consent layer has to gate them before they run, and the assessment before data leaves Quebec covers a hosting region or a SaaS tool outside the province. No agency on this page publishes a Law 25 configuration, so the merchant specifies it: which tags load before consent, where personal data is stored, who the responsible person is, and where the policy sits on the site. The scenarios above pick MageMontreal for a review run in French and scandiweb for a bilingual build with an integration, on the facts each states.

Wikipedia describes Magento as an open source eCommerce platform written in PHP, first released on 31 March 2008 by Varien, bought by Adobe on 19 June 2018 for $1.68 billion, and sold in two editions: Magento Open Source, and Adobe Commerce, a proprietary edition built on the same core files with added features. Magento 1.9.4, the last 1.x release, reached end of life on 30 June 2020, so a store still on Magento 1 in 2026 is six years out of support.

The 2.4 line has its own calendar, per Adobe's lifecycle page as read on 23 September 2026. 2.4.4 regular support ended 12 April 2025 and extended support 14 April 2026. 2.4.5 regular support ended 12 August 2025 and extended support 11 August 2026. 2.4.6 regular support ended 11 August 2026 and extended support runs to 31 August 2027. 2.4.7 regular support ends 31 May 2027, 2.4.8 ends 31 May 2028, and 2.4.9, released 12 May 2026, ends 31 May 2029. A Canadian store on 2.4.4 or 2.4.5 today is past every date; one on 2.4.6 has until August 2027 on extended support. Hyvä's floor of 2.4.4-p9, 2.4.5-p8, 2.4.6-p7, or 2.4.7-p1 means a storefront rebuild and an upgrade usually travel together.

Adobe Commerce B2B is the reason distributors and manufacturers pay for the paid edition. Adobe's documentation lists company accounts that join multiple buyers into one account with divisions, subdivisions, roles, and permissions; shared catalogs with custom prices per product for different companies; negotiable quotes that open a price negotiation between buyer and seller; purchase orders created automatically with approval rules; payment on account with credit the merchant allocates to a company; requisition lists for frequently ordered products; and quick order by product name or SKU.

Which agencies on this page have shipped those features is not on record. scandiweb's Canada page states Adobe Commerce builds for Canadian retailers and its Wainbee case is a distributor project with a PIM, MageMontreal's Clutch profile lists 15% manufacturing clients, and Kinex Media's homepage names Caterpillar and Master Group. None of the three publishes a case that names company accounts or negotiable quotes as delivered for a Canadian client, so a B2B buyer should ask each for one and for the Magento version it runs on.

The shortlist is the roster of the July 2026 edition: scandiweb plus the five smaller Canadian agencies that page named. No agency was added or dropped in this rewrite. Kodershop and Bellwood stay on the list even though their own sites no longer show Magento, because Clutch still attributes Magento work to both and a reader who finds them on Clutch deserves to know what their sites say.

Every fact was read on 22 September 2026 from the agency's own site, its Clutch profile, hyva.io, DesignRush, Wikipedia, Adobe's documentation, or a Quebec government page, and each is a row in the evidence ledger with its URL, date, and status. Where a page would not load, the July reading stands with its July date and the failure is noted in the row.

Removed from the July edition for lack of a source: the Canadian-dollar cost bands, hourly rate bands, license and hosting ranges, retainer ranges, and timelines on the pricing guide; the Lighthouse score ranges and the Hyvä creator and year on the Hyvä guide; Samsung and Jaguar Land Rover as scandiweb clients; and the description of Adobe's partner tier ladder. Corrected because a source contradicted it: scandiweb's Canadian base, the Hyvä license model, Kinex Media's and MageMontreal's cities, Bellwood's headquarters, and Kodershop's Magento focus.
