How to Access Extensions Purchased from the Adobe Commerce Marketplace

Last updated on Jul 01, 2025

If you’ve purchased an extension through the Adobe Commerce Marketplace, the process of accessing and installing it differs slightly from purchasing directly from our store. This guide will help you understand how to retrieve your extension and the options available to make integration smoother.

Accessing Extensions from the Adobe Commerce Marketplace

When you purchase one of our extensions from the Adobe Commerce Marketplace, the extension is distributed and managed through Adobe’s own infrastructure, not directly by us. Here’s how to access it:

1. Connect Your Adobe Marketplace Account with Composer

To download and install the extension, you’ll need to configure Composer using the credentials provided by Adobe:

  • Log in to your Adobe Commerce Marketplace account

  • Go to My Profile > Access Keys

  • Copy your Public and Private Keys

  • On your server or development environment, configure your auth credentials for Composer:

composer config --global http-basic.repo.magento.com <public_key> <private_key>

2. Require the Extension via Composer

Once your authentication is set up, require the extension by its package name (as shown on your Adobe Marketplace order details):

composer require blackbird/module-name

Note: Adobe packages use the repo.magento.com repository, not our private source.

Difference Between Marketplace and Direct Purchases

When purchasing an extension directly from our store, you benefit from:

  • Immediate access via our private Composer repository (Packagist)

  • Faster support and direct communication with our development team

  • Early access to updates and new features

  • Custom build options and tailored licensing (when applicable)

In contrast, extensions purchased through Adobe Commerce Marketplace:

  • Must be installed via Adobe’s own repository (repo.magento.com)

  • May have update delays due to Adobe’s review and publishing process

  • Are not automatically linked to your customer account on our website

Need Access Through Our Private Packagist?

If you've purchased an extension from Adobe Marketplace and prefer to install it via our private Packagist repository, we can enable this on request.

Please contact us at [email protected] with your order number and Adobe Marketplace purchase confirmation. Once verified, we’ll provide access credentials and installation instructions for our private repository.
