Some of our clients got the same email from PayPal, telling (most of the clients thought at first<\/em>) that PayPal will no longer support old Magento stores and allow them to use the PayPal payments.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Therefore, Magento 1 store owners are getting worried and looking for any workarounds for this. And, as a result, we are having these conversations with merchants every day, so we decided to provide our feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Many Magento store owners are in the same boat, as they have Magento 2 migration on their to-do list, but won\u2019t be able to get done it by June. <\/span><\/p>\n Some of them use Nexcess Safe Harbor<\/a><\/span> to put their M1 sites into a little bubble for the transitional period.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meanwhile, others even start thinking about migrating to an alternative platform (e.g. Shopify or WooCommerce).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In June 2020, the Magento 1.x eCommerce platform will reach its End of Life (EOL).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since mid-2014, Magento 1 hasn\u2019t had any new major releases. Magento and Adobe\u2019s priority has been on creating the newer Magento 2 framework, so it’s understandable that Magento wouldn’t be able to support two platforms indefinitely.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When support ends, Magento 1 sites will become increasingly vulnerable to security threats and no further features or innovations will be added. This means the continued security of your customers and your business would be at risk.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The threat of\u00a0Magecart (e-skimming) hackers targeting Magento 1.x sites post-EOL\u00a0adds a degree of urgency to the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In short, this Paypal email concerning Magento EOL doesn’t say PayPal will no longer allow them to be used, just that there are lots of risks and need to upgrade. This is much the same message as Visa put out a month ago<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our clients contacted PayPal Technical support and as we can see, PayPal will not turn off your compliance because you’re on an EOL platform.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n

\nMagento 1 EOL, June 2020<\/span><\/h3>\n\n
<\/h2>\n
\nWhat this PayPal email <\/span>“Magento 1 EOL” <\/span>is about?<\/span><\/h3>\n
\nWell, let’s clear up that confusion.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
