Magento 1 Official Support to End by June 2020

-

According to an official post on the Magento website, the support for Magento 1 might be closed after June 2020. The company has, therefore, requested all its existing Magento 1 merchants and e-commerce software users to migrate to the latest Magento version (Magento 2 and above).

Magento 2, which was released on November 17, 2015, has recently been updated to the latest Magento 2.3.1 version.

On its official website, Magento developers have clarified that they will extend the support for Magento Commerce 1 (Enterprise Edition) through June 2020, giving merchants enough time to migrate to the newer versions at their own convenience. This may include support for both security patches and quality fixes, depending on your Magento version.

Here is what officials Said:

“For Magento Commerce 1 (Enterprise), we are providing software support through June 2020. Depending on your version, software support may include both quality fixes and security patches.”

“For Magento Open Source 1 (Community), we are providing software security patches through June 2020 to ensure those sites remain secure and compliant.”

As for the Magento Open Source 1 (Community Edition), the support will be stopped by June 2020. That means merchants still have enough time to transit to the newer versions for added security and compliance and to continue to receive the support and updates.

The company also confirms that the said support and security maintenance is only limited to Magento software and will not be applicable to any third-party plugins or extensions.

“Maintenance of extensions, customization or other modifications to the Magento codebase, including compliance with security and privacy standards (PCI, SOC, ISO, etc.), are the express responsibility of the merchant.”
