Head-to-head
Adobe Commerce vs WooCommerce
In short
Neither has shipped native agent checkout. On UCP the matrix reads Adobe Commerce announced and WooCommerce pilot, and the two split on 1 more protocol. For a head of ecommerce engineering: Plan a processor-led path (Stripe ACS) rather than waiting on the platform.
