The Magento 1 shop system will be discontinued in mid-2020 and the manufacturer will no longer provide any new functions or bug fixes for this version. The company Mage One offers the service of providing this support for the next five years from 299 euros per month, so that shop operators can benefit from a stress-free changeover time. A good time to deal specifically with the opportunities that are now available.
In addition to switching to Magento 2, it makes sense to consider a change of manufacturer. In the following we will show you the advantages of Shopware and a successful migration path. There is also an attractive, financial offer from Shopware. Make good use of opportunities that arise
Now there is a comfortable opportunity to dismantle old structures and technologies in order to do justice to the grown business model. Look at your strategic direction. Where should you go with your online shop? What features do you need or will you need in the foreseeable future? Perhaps previously used functions can be improved or even replaced. Is the previously used shop system still the right one for your business model? Feel free to involve your employees in the evaluation process.
The e-commerce of the future requires a shop system that not only has to meet today's requirements, but also those of the future. In the best case, it grows with the challenges of the market and adapts to your wishes and those of your customers. So if you are aiming for a migration from Magento 1 to a new shop system, please do not hesitate to speak to our consultants. Together we will discuss your plans for the future and work out the optimal solution for you. As a full-service digital agency, we have had very good experiences with Shopware and can also implement the most diverse concepts and strategic goals according to your business model.
Why migrate from Magento 1 to Shopware?
The advantages of Shopware are manifold. The system has everything you need for perfect usability by your employees and customers alike. In addition, it is open source. This means that every function that you need for your business can be individually adapted or newly developed. As a Shopware Solution Partner, we can therefore adapt your online shop exactly to the requirements of your business model. With its modern software architecture, the plugins for many services and the best possible usability, we create a convincing shopping experience for your customers. In addition, we provide your employees with such a comfortable user interface that the products and contents of the shop are much easier to maintain.
Depending on the individual structure of your online shop or your information architecture, adjustments will most likely have to be made. In a workshop, we discuss the necessities together and adapt the entire concept to your individual strategy. ### What happens to my custom built features and extensions? Changing an online shop system offers you the opportunity to take a closer look at the composition of your individually developed features. You may no longer need them in their current configuration. Various processes can be made much more efficient with a technical restart. This is exactly where communicode shows its strengths, because with more than 16 years of experience in the development of B2C and B2B solutions and complex functional relationships, you can rely on well-founded support here. Through our agile approach and working in iterations, we can jointly evaluate the value of the previous functions for your business model in detail. After the first launch of the new shop, we will continue to talk to you and adapt the shop more and more to the needs of your business model. While we make the developments for you, you can continue to be there for your customers without hindrance.
And the best: If you decide to move from Magento 1 to Shopware, Shopware will support you with the support costs of Mage One until the launch of your new shop under Shopware. You can simply continue with your day-to-day business without pressure and we will carry out the migration and all planned developments for you.
