3 Things You Can Do After Magento 1 End of Life

Magento to shut down the doors of Magento 1 in June 2020

On September 2018, Magento announced the end of support for Magento 1 and left all of us shocked. As predicted, the news disseminated like a flood in the city. And it was obvious as there are around 1,80,000 stores still operating on Magento 1 across the globe.

The Magento 1 users are feeling quite formidable to migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2. 

What if we say that we have got some good news for you?

Let's have a look at the detailed analysis of the options you've got.

The merchants using Magento 1 have one common question...

How the change is going to affect our own business?

Magento 1 end of life doesn't directly states that your store will stop functioning. Though you won't be facilitated with any upgrades/advancements or security by Magento (and that's very serious!)

So what's the solution? Here are the options you've got.

1. Let's continue with Magento 1

2. Let's try another e-commerce platform

3. Let's Migrate to Magento 2.

1. Let's continue with Magento 1

Since 2014, Magento stopped launching major updates as they were working on developing Magento 2 framework. Hence it was obvious that sooner or later, Magento will stop supporting the community edition.

Slowly and gradually, Magento 1 users started migrating to Magento 2 as it came with some advance and new features. With time, most of the merchants migrated to Magento 2.

If you still decide to continue with Magento 1, you're throwing yourself out from the competition.

To be very clear on this...

-- You won't get any business

-- There is a high threat of hackers who can steal your customer's transactional information

-- There won't be any availability of agencies who can provide you with Magento 1 solutions

2. Let's try another e-commerce platform:

The graph above clearly states that Magento 2 is a widely used platform compared to Shopify, Xcart, OpenCart and many others. In addition to that, Magento 2 offers advance features like multi-language support, which other platforms may not be able to offer.

Well, the disadvantages aren't less.

-- You may lose your search engine ranking

-- You may lose your customers

-- You won't get enough returns on the investment you make

And the last one is...

3. Let's Migrate to Magento 2:

As shown in the graph, if you decide to Migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2, you are in the winning situation. Magento 2 is the leading e-commerce platform right now and it's the perfect way to strive and grow into this e-commerce market.

With Magento 2, you will have access to deliver maximum performance and save your customers from unethical hacking.

Magento 2 brings you...

1. The fast loading speed of the page

2. Improved admin interface

3. Unbreakable security

4. Easy navigation

5. Higher performance and scalability

6. Convenient and easy shopping

7. Better store optimization and many more.

Changing and gearing up to Magento 2 can be a difficult task but having the right partner helps you to migrate and enhance your business performance.
