How To Migrate From Magento 1 To Magento 2?
 
 
Magento 1 has ended its life on June 30, 2020. No more official security patches will be released from Magento. Magento has removed all Magento1 extensions from the Magento Marketplace. To avoid the security attacks and get continued support from Magento, all existing Magento 1 stores are urgent to migrate to Magento 2 as soon as possible.
 
What Are The Steps To Migrate To Magento 2?
 
Step 1. Migrating Theme.
 
Since Magento 2 is a totally different platform from Magento1 in terms of coding, your Magento 2 store must have a new theme. You can compare the following ways in terms of the complexity and expense with star ratings. SunflowerBiz developers offer custom services to clone your current Magento 1 design or create a brand new one as your requirements.
