Magento M1 / M2
Magento is a widely popular open source eCommerce platform for building and running online stores used by businesses. It features a variety of services and functions that are intended to create a robust and customizable eCommerce website for your business that your customers will love to use.
Magento 1 (M1) is the older version of the platform, while Magento 2 (M2) is the newer, improved version. Both versions have their own unique features and benefits, so our team will help you explore and select the right solution for your business.
- Magento 1 (M1): M1 has been around for years and has an extremely wide user base. It offers a wide selection of extensions and themes to personalize the look and functionality of your store. It is well known for its flexibility and scalability, making it an ideal solution for businesses of all sizes. It has robust features including inventory and order management, payment gateways and shipping integrations. However, M1 has reached the end of its lifespan in June 2020, meaning that it is no longer officially supported by Magento - as a result, security updates and patches are no longer available.
- Magento 2 (M2): M2 is the most recent version of the Magento platform, delivering even greater performance, security and user experience than M1. It has an enhanced and more intuitive admin interface that makes it easier to manage your online store, and it offers increased scalability and performance so that your store can handle growing traffic and sales volumes. Compared to its older cousin, it includes advanced features such as an upgraded checkout process, a more responsive design, and improved SEO functionality. M2 also offers seamless integration with a wide range of third-party tools and plug-ins to further enhance the functionality of your online store.
