Magento is Shutting Down!
On September 6th, Magento announced that it will end support for Magento 1 in June 2020.
While stores running on Magento 1 will continue to operate after this date, Magento will no longer offer security patches or support for the platform. This means that merchants that fail to migrate from Magento 1 to another platform can no longer receive help from the Magento support team.
Why you should consider migrating away from Magento?
You can’t migrate your
Magento 1 Theme
A dedicated project team will also need to be created to oversee the migration and to deliver correspondences to senior management and staff.
Magento 1 extensions don’t work with Magento 2
And just like themes, Magento 1 extensions will not work on Magento 2. Developers will have no choice but to create a new extension from scratch.
You’ll have SEO issues
This restructuring can lead to lost pages and SEO problems due to changes in URL structure, or due to certain pages and content being left out of the migration process.
Integration nightmares
These systems must communicate with product databases, payment processors, content management systems, and customer relationship management (CRM) software, as well as numerous other platforms.
The learning curve
Since Magento 2 uses some relatively new technologies, most users may not be familiar with how it works from the start.
Time, and the opportunity cost
The single most important resource anyone has, let alone any business, is time. It is the one resource that is non-renewable and irreplaceable.
