Is Magento 1 end-of-life (EOL)?

Chat with an expert

Magento 1 reached EOL on June 30, 2020. When new versions of Magento are released, older versions are maintained for a period of time. But after that time is over, the software reaches end of life (EOL). No more features or security patches will be released for M1, which leaves the outdated software vulnerable to threats.

How much will it cost?

A migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2 can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $30,000. Considering the impact of these costs on merchants, it’s easy to understand why many hesitate to move to Magento 2.
