Why do I need to migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2?

Magento 1 hit End of Life on June 30, 2020. Adobe stopped releasing security patches, bug fixes, and PCI compliance updates from that date. Every day a store stays on M1, it accumulates unpatched CVEs — and most card processors (Stripe, Braintree, Authorize.net) now flag M1 stores as non-compliant during PCI audits. Beyond security: Magento 2 is faster (PHP 8, Varnish, full-page cache native), has a modern admin, ships with B2B and PWA-ready features, and runs on actively-maintained extensions. Migration isn’t optional anymore — it’s the only safe path forward for serious commerce.
