Biote Magento project

How Skynix helped Biote upgrade Magento, fix custom plugins, and boost eCommerce performance, all under $10K.

Intention: Upgrade Biote’s Magento store from version 2.2.1 to 2.4.6, resolve issues with custom plugins, and boost overall eCommerce performance and stability.

Technologies used: Magento 2.4.6, PHP, MySQL, Custom Plugin Development, Version Control with Git, Agile Workflow

People Involved: One dedicated Magento developer augmented Biote’s internal team, providing expert-level support throughout the project.

Timeframe: The project was completed in several focused development sprints over a few weeks, staying under the $10,000 budget.

🚧 The Challenge

Biote was running their online store on Magento 2.2.1, and things weren’t going smoothly:

Slow performance
Compatibility issues with plugins
Difficult to manage and scale
Trouble diagnosing production bugs

Their in-house team needed Magento expertise to take the store to the next level — without slowing down day-to-day operations.

💡 The Solution

Biote partnered with Skynix LLC to augment their team with a seasoned Magento developer.

and our mission was clear:

Upgrade from Magento 2.2.1 to 2.4.6

Review and refactor custom plugins

Improve performance & stability

Assist in fast issue resolution

All of this — while working remotely, fully embedded into Biote’s existing dev flow.

✅ The Impact:

The Biote Magento storefront is now faster, more stable, and ready to scale. Thanks to the upgraded Magento core and well-structured custom plugins, the user experience has drastically improved — both for customers browsing the store and for internal teams managing it. Performance bottlenecks were resolved, legacy bugs eliminated, and stability brought back to the production environment. Frequent issues that previously drained time and focus are now a thing of the past, giving the Biote team freedom to innovate and grow. Skynix’s developer became an integral part of the Biote crew — joining daily standups, responding to live production incidents, and proactively suggesting improvements. All of this was done with zero disruption to existing processes, thanks to smooth onboarding and solid communication. Bottom line:

✔ Faster page loads and smoother checkout
✔ Drastically fewer production incidents
✔ More productive development cycles
✔ Happier users, less stress for the dev team
✔ A future-proof Magento setup that’s ready for what’s next
