Why Do You Need to migrate from Magento to Shopify?
As you may have come to know Magento has announced the ‘End of Life’ of its Magento 1.z version with effect from June 2020. This means that there are no new features, no official support, and no security updates that will be rolled out for Magento 1.x for users around the globe from June 2000 onwards.
The ‘End of Life’ countdown for Magento 1.x has already begun and the clock is ticking. Now you have two choices: Either stick to the Magento Ecosystem by upgrading from Magento 1.x to Magento 2. OR migrate to another eCommerce platform like Shopify.
