                     Why Magento 2? Five steps to 
get you migrated to Magento 2 
https://www.digitalmesh.com
Magento released its latest 2nd version in 2015 and 
called it Magento 2. It is an e-commerce platform that 
is utilized by 1 in 4 businesses in the market now. 
Later on, Jun 19th, 2018, Adobe completed the 
acquisition of Magento Commerce. Adobe announced 
in September 2018 that it is going to end support for 
Magento 1 release line for both Magento Commerce 
and Magento Open Source on June 30, 2020. 
As of June 26th, 2020, data suggests 
that out of 185,158 Magento stores, 
only 62,384 have migrated to 
Magento 2. The rest of the 
Ecommerce Development Services 
using Magento 1 are at risk of being 
on unsupported software. 
For merchants on Magento 1, it is recommended 
to download the Magento 1 extensions they plan 
to keep, since these will not be available in the 
Magento Marketplace after July 7, 2020.  It is also 
informed that these will be removed from the 
Magento repository after August 6, 2020. 
The best solution for growing businesses to 
succeed and thrive in digital commerce is to 
adopt Magento 2. This new version offers a 
wealth of built-in features that are not available 
in Magento 1. It also has an infrastructure that is 
easier to maintain and support than Magento 1. 
Here are five steps you can 
migrate your Magento 1 to 
Magento 2 
1. Create a plan and prepare a 
testing environment
Create a migration plan involving the details of 
data migration, project specifications, and step-
by-step project plan. Prepare a test development 
environment and install the default Magento 2 
for running it. Get your best DevOps Engineer for 
this step. 
2. Install custom 
development and extensions
Install the custom development and 
extensions that are required for your 
business. This is the step where we can 
develop custom extensions or additional 
features for Magento 2. 
3. Magento Data Migration
Data migration is one of the most crucial 
parts of migrating from Magento 1 to 
Magento 2. Download the data migration 
tool for starting the migration. It is widely 
recommended to migrate data from a 
replicated Magento 1 database instance for 
this process. 
4. Update Now, capture the data updates like 
new orders, reviews, products and 
incremental data changes in customer profiles of the 
Web Applications Services and move 
them to the Magento 2 store. 
5. Go Live
You will experience a store 
downtime of a few minutes in 
Magento Development Services to 
reindex and change DNS settings 
before going live. Once you have 
tested the final version and made 
sure everything works fine, the 
store is ready to launch on a live 
server.
