Magento® recently announced it will [cease support for Magento 1](https://magento.com/blog/magento-news/supporting-magento-1-through-june-2020)
after June 2020. This includes both the Magento Commerce 1 (Enterprise Edition) 
and Magento Open Source 1 (Community Edition) softwares. We’ve talked before about
the [reasons to update your website and plugins](https://ip.ipdev2.cloud/2017/11/reasons-update-website-plugins/)
on a regular basis, which holds equally true for Magento sites. For now, Magento
will continue releasing security patches and other important fixes to ensure that
Magento 1 sites remain safe and functional — but once support ceases, those sites
will be left vulnerable.

While the June 2020 date leaves you enough time to make the switch to [Magento Commerce 2](https://magento.com/products/magento-commerce),
the occasion to start the upgrade process is now. If your site still uses Magento
1, [reach out to us](https://ip.ipdev2.cloud/contact/) as soon as possible and we
will get you on the path to Magento 2!
