What changes when you move up
Capacity is the visible difference, but the operational tools often matter sooner. Professional adds content management, bulk edits, import export and the scheduler. Enterprise removes the upper limits and adds priority support and the multi vendor option.
If the current store is close to a limit, plan the move before the limit is reached. A migration is easier to schedule than an outage.
Professional Edition is the next step in the published line. Read its page and compare the limits side by side.
