Frequently asked Magento 2 questions

All official support ends at the end of June 2020.

The official announcement from Adobe can be read here https://magento.com/blog/magento-news/supporting-magento-1-through-june-2020

Magento 2 is a far more powerful ecommerce platform that provides improved performance and scalability, tighter security, integrated marketing functionality, not to mention being much easier to manage and update.

Your customers will benefit from a smoother, faster shopping experience, with more payment and delivery options, which can result in a higher rate of conversion.

At the end of June this year, there’ll be no further official support,  updates or security patches.

Your website won’t suddenly stop working and you can remain on Magento 1 as long as you wish. However there are some risks associated that should be strongly considered.

  • Security risks
    Updates will cease at the end June 2020. So there’ll be no protection for your site against vulnerabilities that are discovered after this time.

    This not only puts your website at risk of being compromised by malicious activity but also puts your customers’ data at risk. So you could easily fall foul of data protection legislation and PCI-DSS compliance requirements.
     
  • Out of date extensions
    The main focus for Magento developers is building extensions for the current platform (Magento 2). Extensions built for Magento 1 may be unsupported and become out of date.

    If your site relies on extensions for transactions or extra functionality, then you could quickly start to see performance issues and security risks from vulnerabilities discovered in outdated extensions.
     
  • Lack of resources
    Delaying your decision to move to Magento 2 might leave you with fewer options in terms of developers that are available to work on your project. There are a lot of Magento 1 sites to migrate and there’s a very limited supply of good Magento 2 developers.
     
  • Getting left behind
    Magento 2 includes 100’s of improvements and enhancements that you can exploit to grow your business online and stay ahead of your competitors.

A good migration from doesn’t happen overnight, and most take between 2 and 4 months to complete successfully (depending on the complexity of the site).

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

Hope everyone’s OK out there. As a digital agency, we’re lucky that the virus hasn’t affected us too much. To protect our staff, everyone is working remotely, and all project work is carrying on as normal. It’s possible there could be some delays here and there though, particularly if team members fall ill. We’ll keep you posted. All we ask is that you email rather than call if possible, as we have fewer people on the phones at the moment.

Stay safe, and see you soon :)
