Magento Migration
Why should you migrate to Magento 2 now?
1. Magento has stated that it will end its support for Magento 1 in June 2020. After June 2020, by using a Magento version that’s no longer supported by Magento, your store might violate PCI compliance.
2. The second but compulsive reason for Magento 2 upgrade is agency bottleneck. About 1,80,000 eCommerce stores running on Magento 1 have got only 350+ Magento agencies to perform the migration.
3. If Magento upgrade is delayed, security vulnerabilities and lack of feature updates might also slow down performance and affect the credibility of your store in the future.
