After much deliberation and buzz amongst the Magento workforce, the date for its final exit has been set at June 2020. Later, Magento will uncoil all support to the Magento 1 with only a few extensions active to help merchants and thereby keep the platform functioning smoothly.

The reason to shift from Magento 1 to Magento 2 is to reap the rich benefits that are accompanying the latter with full focus on it. However, Magento 1 is still very much alive in the system with users still preoccupied with Magento . A couple of hitches seem to have prevented Magento 2 from being adopted from merchant’s end. They include:

● They find migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2 an uphill task.
● Merchants are of the idea that quite a bit of money will have to be spent to take their website from Magento 1 to Magento 2.
● Adobe still supports Magento 1.

Magento has two editions as we all know.
1) Enterprise Edition
2) Community Edition

The end of life for Magento 1 Enterprise Edition is decided to be on June 20, after which the software will be revoked from Magento 1 and for those who choose to still remain with Magento 1 will be at the cost of severe vulnerabilities and frail security. The Magento 1 Community Edition is also slated for June 20 2020 and no support whatsoever will be provided for these users. Though a lot of glitz is accompanying the migration of Magento 1 to Magento 2, ADOBE continues with unstinting support to merchants using Magento 1.
