Looking to migrate to the latest version of Magento 2?
I would suggest you stop thinking and start acting as now is the best time!!
Recently, Magento Community announced – “As of January 1, 2020, Magento 2.2.x will receive no further updates or support.”
So, if you are still using Magento version 2.2 or below, it is highly advisable to Upgrade your Magento to version 2.3.
To add up to this news :
There is an extra risk to the PCI compliance for merchants using Magento Commerce 2.2.0-2.2.9. And by November 30, 2019, Magento is dropping support for PHP 7.1 and below.
Why Is Magento support ending for version 2.2 and below?
There is no doubt that Magento is making every possible attempt to make their platform stable as well as efficient. Moreover, Magento has decided to revoke the support of Magento version 2.2.x and below to support this cause.
How will this impact Magento merchants?
The end of support will come with a few hurdles for the current Magento which includes:
- Security Concerns: The website is exposed to threats as there will be no security patches. So, your Magento based website can result in malfunctions and permanent loss of data.
- PCI compliance at risk: Since Magento has decided to end the support for PHP 7.1, PCI compliance is vulnerable. Hence, this can cause serious misplacement in credit card transactions
So, be prepared to upgrade your Magento version before its too late.
So, What Must You Do?
If you are still using Magento Commerce 2.2.x, you should upgrade as soon as possible. Because the latest iteration of Magento Commerce 2.3 comes with new features that avoid security risks.
