Magento 1 - End of Life (EOL)

Why merchants have to migrate

It is very important that you migrate from Magento 1 to another platform. If you continue to use Magento 1 after June 30, 2020, there will be the following consequences:

• Increased risk of data breaches, with possible long-lasting damage to your brand and reputation.
• Exposure of becoming a security target without any upgrade or security patches.
• Falling out of compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). The PCI DSS global standards are set by card schemes and apply to all merchants that process payments. Requirement 6 of the PCI DSS requires merchants to develop and maintain secure systems and applications by installing applicable vendor-supplied security patches. By continuing to use Magento 1, merchants will no longer meet this requirement. This could result in costly and time-consuming remediation.
  

Visa has also stressed that urgent action is required for merchants to migrate from Magento 1. Merchants needs to be aware of their responsibilities in securing their environment to help prevent the loss of payment card data.

What merchants need to do

If you are still using Magento 1, you will have to migrate your platform before June 30, 2020 to either:

• Magento 2
  

  You can find instructions on how to migrate to Magento 2 here. Then follow the instructions on the Bambora developer site to setup Bambora Checkout and Bambora Online/Epay with Magento 2.x or Payform with Magento 2x.

• Another platform
  You can find other platforms that Bambora supports with a plugin here, and for the Payform solution here.
