7 reasons you should upgrade from Magento 1 to a better eCommerce platform. Today.

Adobe has officially stopped supporting Magento 1 Commerce. Find out how this impacts your business and why you should move to a better B2B eCommerce platform.

No Support from Adobe

When Adobe says it has stopped supporting your Magento 1 platform, it means its development team has stopped working on updates and security patches for Magento 1. This means your platform, at this very moment, IS VULNERABLE to cyber attacks and hackers. Hackers may be able to find and exploit security breaches on your site at will.

3

Extremely Slow Site

Magento 1 is known to have a host of performance issues. Spend an hour on the Magento Community or browse through the internet, and you will realize the truth of this sentence. The most critical of these issues, one that acts as a ‘silent sales killer,’ is its slow page load time.

4

No Marketing Automation for Personalization

Having an eCommerce site without marketing automation is like having a store without a salesperson. Who will attract the audience? Who will guide them with their purchase? Who will assist them in finding the right product?

Magento 1 does not come with email marketing or search personalization. You will have to rely on third-party extensions for this.

You need a considerable amount of money and up to 6 months to upgrade to Magento 2

Let’s say you want to persist with Magento. So, what is the next step? Upgrading from Magento 1 to Magento 2. But it is easier said than done.
