In 2015, Magento made a real upgrade and transformed into Magento 2. What functional differences occurred during the migration to improve this E-commerce platform? Magento 2 changed the architecture and increased the speed. Also, the “second edition” has support for PHP 7 and saves the default cache. The upgrading is more than powerful, isn’t it?
The creation of a convenient ordering function improved indexers, and database optimization has made Magento 2 the best choice for creating your commercial online website. But in June 2020, Magento completely stopped supporting its first-born Magento 1. Therefore, if you are still using Magento 1 for your business, migration to Magento 2 is more than necessary.
How do make the migration process as convenient as possible for you? The company has developed official documentation for a painless transition for your online store. This process should be divided into four stages:
1.Theme Migration
2. Extension Migration
3. Customizations Migration
4. Data Migration
We recommend that you start planning for the migration right now. However, do not assume that this process will be easy to do by yourself. This process without strategic planning can ruin the functionality of your online store. If you are ready to take full responsibility for this transition process and take into account all the risks, then go for it. However, it is worth thinking about highly qualified specialists who will make this process without pitfalls. To maintain and improve the functionality of your store, the next step should be testing Magento 2.
