Adobe Payment Services has announced full compatibility with Adobe Commerce 2.4.8 and PHP 8.4, released in February 2025. This update ensures that merchants using the latest Adobe Commerce version and modern PHP runtime can deploy Payment Services with complete feature parity and performance optimisations.

What's New

Adobe Commerce 2.4.8 represents the latest stable release of the platform, bringing performance improvements, enhanced security controls, and refined developer experiences. PHP 8.4, the latest PHP version, offers improved performance characteristics and stricter type handling that can benefit e-commerce applications.

With Payment Services now fully certified for both environments, merchants have the confidence to upgrade their infrastructure without concerns about payment functionality compatibility.

Why This Matters for Merchants

• Leverage the latest performance optimisations in both the platform and runtime
• Benefit from improved security patches and vulnerability management
• Access new features and capabilities in Adobe Commerce 2.4.8
• Maintain full compliance with contemporary technology standards
• Ensure vendor support throughout your deployment lifecycle

Technical Compatibility

Payment Services has been thoroughly tested against Adobe Commerce 2.4.8 across various deployment scenarios, including monolithic, microservices, and headless architectures. The extension maintains full compatibility with all supported payment methods and features.

PHP 8.4 support includes optimised handling of modern type declarations and improved performance characteristics. Merchants upgrading to PHP 8.4 will notice enhanced processing efficiency, particularly for payment validation and tokenisation operations.

Deployment Considerations

If you're planning an upgrade to Adobe Commerce 2.4.8 or PHP 8.4, Payment Services is now a non-blocking dependency. You can proceed with confidence knowing that payment processing will function seamlessly within these modern environments.

For merchants currently on earlier versions, this update provides a clear path forward. Plan your upgrade timeline to align with your broader platform modernisation strategy, knowing that Payment Services will be fully functional once you've upgraded to 2.4.8 and PHP 8.4.

Looking Forward

This compatibility announcement reflects Adobe's commitment to keeping Payment Services current with the platform ecosystem. As new versions of Adobe Commerce and PHP are released, you can expect Payment Services to maintain compatibility, ensuring that your payment infrastructure never becomes a blocker to platform upgrades.
