Magento 1 is an open-source e-commerce platform that has been widely used by businesses of all sizes for many years. It has been a popular choice for businesses looking to establish an online presence due to its flexibility, scalability, and robustness. However, with Magento 1 reaching its end-of-life in June 2020, businesses still using this version of the platform face the risk of security breaches and other issues. This makes it more important than ever for businesses to have reliable and professional support for their Magento 1 stores.
In this blog post, we will explore the importance of having support for Magento 1 stores and how SYSINT can help businesses maximize their store's potential with their Magento 1 support services.
Technical Support for Magento 1
According to Adobe's official announcement, support for the Magento 1.x release line for both Magento Commerce and Magento Open Source ended on June 30, 2020. After this date, Adobe will not be responding to any further security issues for Magento 1, and merchants who continue to run on Magento 1 will have increased responsibility for maintaining their site's security and PCI DSS compliance.. [1]
The Nexcess article "Magento 1 End of Life: Everything You Need to Know" states that Magento 1 support has ended and that the migration to Magento 2 is necessary to ensure the security and performance of your online store. However, we would like to provide additional information that may change your mind. [2]
Firstly, some stores, especially small and medium businesses, continue to use Magento 1, and this does not mean that their online stores are insecure or inefficient. Of course, security is important, but there are several ways to ensure the security of your online store on Magento 1, such as updating security patches, installing an SSL certificate, and other measures.
Secondly, migrating to Magento 2 can be a costly and complex process, especially for businesses that have custom modules and functionality that need to be migrated to the new platform. This can take a lot of time and money and may not be justified for some businesses.
Finally, we continue to provide technical support and service for customers who continue to use Magento 1. Here are some of the questions we are tackling:
- Security: We ensure the security of your online store by regularly updating the system and installing security patches.
- Development of new modules: we create custom modules and functionality to improve your online store and meet your needs.
- Magento 1 Update: We are updating Magento 1 to run on new PHP versions (8.1/8.2) to improve performance and reduce bugs.
- Integration with other business systems: We help you integrate your online store with other business systems, such as accounting or inventory management systems, to make your business easier to manage.
Our team is ready to help you with any Magento 1-related questions and keep your online store running efficiently.
