Magento 1 End-of-Life – What are the Escape Gateways?

Magento Stores worldwide are in a dilemma as Magento will cease support for sites running on its 1.x platforms after June 2020. It means stores will not receive the security updates vital for keeping their sites safe. With just over a year for Magento 1 End-of-Life, it’s time to look at the options to secure your Ecommerce store.

Well, if you continue running your store on Magento 1, the risks attached to it are quite high. There would be vulnerabilities to your store with no security upgrades or new development. Your business will start to decay and you may lose the credibility and reputation gained over the years.

Migrating to another platform can be an option, however, it would the most time-consuming, complex and expensive of all the gateways you have. The best way you can come up with to cope with the Magento 1 end of support is to upgrade your store to Magento 2.
