Magento 1 End-of-Life: Migration Options and Timeline

Globify TeamFebruary 15, 2026 8 min read

The Magento 1 Risk

Magento 1 reached end-of-life in June 2020. Since then, no security patches, no bug fixes, and no new features. Yet thousands of stores still run on M1, facing significant risks.

Migration Options

Option 1: Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce

Best for: Enterprises with complex B2B needs, large catalogs, and existing Magento expertise.

  • Timeline: 8-16 weeks
  • Cost: AED 25,000-80,000

Option 2: Shopify Plus

Best for: B2C brands wanting managed infrastructure and faster time-to-market.

  • Timeline: 6-12 weeks
  • Cost: AED 15,000-40,000

Option 3: Shopware 6

Best for: DACH-region businesses needing API-first architecture and B2B features.

  • Timeline: 8-14 weeks
  • Cost: AED 20,000-50,000

Our Recommendation

Don't wait. Every month on Magento 1 increases security risk and technical debt. Start your migration planning today.
