IT software solutions specialist, KFA Connect is reminding companies to prepare to switch to a new eCommerce platform or risk facing the challenges of an insecure website or one that doesn’t work. In June 2020, any websites running Magento 1 will no longer be supported. As a result, it’s important that businesses have made the move to Magento 2 or started to get the wheels in motion ahead of the deadline.
New Business Director at KFA Connect, Richard Austin, commented: “There are many reasons why companies running Magento 1 cannot put the change off for much longer. Once the official support for Magento 1 ends, websites will be more exposed to security risks and threats, including cyber-attacks. This means the move to Magneto 2 is essential for online businesses who could otherwise end up with a loss in sales and a non-performing website. As well as minimising risk, the move to Magneto 2 also offers many new benefits to businesses.
