Magento 1.0 End of Life Countdown
COMMERCE BEYOND LIMITS
Innovate, outperform and overachieve with BigCommerce, the industry’s most versatile enterprise solution. Now it’s time for the Magento migration to BigCommerce
In September last year, Magento announced that they would be sunsetting Magento 1. In other words, all early versions of their products (1.1-1.9)
would no longer be supported with maintenance and security patches.
The official end-of-life date for versions Magento Commerce 1 (formerly Enterprise Edition) and Magento Open Source 1 (formerly Community Edition) is June 2020.
Understandably, some businesses facing this re-platform are considering their options. Setting up Magento 1 and moving to Magento 2 is both expensive and time-consuming.
Businesses can consider moving from Magento 1 to a SaaS platform like BigCommerce where they can often launch faster (on average 50% faster) and on a more reasonable budget compared with Magento 2.
Stay a step ahead with SaaS
Leverage best-in-class uptime, performance and protection to outpace competitors. With the power of Google Cloud Platform, BigCommerce offers multiple layers of security, unparalleled bandwidth, and blazing-fast speed so you can focus on generating sales — and less on maintaining your site.
Focus on sales and innovation. Not on monitoring and maintenance.
With a lower total cost of ownership, BigCommerce showcases an intuitive interface, and expert services to minimize your time-to-market.
Built for growth, the BigCommerce platform offers advanced merchandising tools, one-page checkout and a fully customizable theming engine.
Platform Flexibility and Extensibility
Your business and your brand are unique. You need to look for an e-commerce platform that has the flexibility and extensibility to work for your product, customer, and business needs. It also needs to be able to grow with your business.
One of the major selling points of Magento is its flexibility. You have complete control to mold the platform to your needs (with all the costs those changes entail). But with Magento, the more you customize the more expensive and harder your store is to manage and maintain.
Magento Migration to BigCommerce
It’s possible to get the same extensibility through a SaaS platform, provided you choose one like BigCommerce that is set up with enterprise-class integrations, flexible APIs and webhooks. These features will enable you to customize your platform for selling online with a great deal of flexibility, even though you don’t have access to the source code.
