The official policy from Magento is that they will provide formal notice 18 months in advance of end-of-life.
I work for a partner agency, and I’ve heard a lot of misinformation about this, so I asked our partner manager, and he said that we should be receiving an update very soon. My best guess is that all Magento 1 support will end officially in June 2020. Sup /u/thatben?
If you’re starting an Magento build today, use M2. Magento is M2 now.
It's a cool idea and we've looked into this briefly for one of our M2 projects and decided that it wasn't practical to achieve. In my experience, Magento APIs have limited features and are not very performant, so it would take considerable development time to build all of the required presentation features to the store and make the API calls scalable. Moreover, most Magento extensions don't provide API for their functionality, which could mean building a lot of custom functionality (gift cards, store locators, etc). All in all, it's possible, just requires a massive budget.
Although, there have been rumblings in the community recently about running Magento 2 headless, so maybe things will improve. Some resources about it:
https://www.yireo.com/blog/1851-headless-with-magento-2 https://alankent.me/2016/12/14/headless-magento-and-extensions/ https://magento.com/resources/how-quicken-took-magento-headless-acquia-drupal
Linux.Encoder.1 seems to target the Magneto CMS. It seems to encrypt user home directories, MySql databases and then the whole filesystem. However, there are serious faults in it's key generation algorithm. There is already a decryption utility available (zip file).

Side note: /u/alanstorm has answered at least 1,200 of my questions on stackoverflow – never expected to answer one of his, ha.
If you're talking about this Magento (and from press releases it looks like you are), there's no competition there. Magento is primarily a B2C e-commerce platform, that also does some B2B e-commerce as well. They don't have any PaaS or IaaS offerings, and their SaaS offerings (as well as Adobe's) don't compete in the same segment with any of Microsoft's.
But let's humor you and pretend that they did. If so, it would be a small part of Magento's business since it doesn't even warrant a mention on their "About" page. The entire company was sold to Adobe for $1.68 billion, so assume that Adobe paid a premium on top of the share price (are they publicly traded?) or used standard earnings multiples, you can expect that this fantasy "cloud computing service" they had could have booked maybe $100 million in revenue. That's a drop in the bucket. Microsoft should book close to $30 billion in Azure/Cloud revenue this year.
In other words, they are not participating in overlapping market segments, and even if they were they aren't competing.
set reply-to to NO covers the issue in Magento 1 or 2
With this background you should probably consider checking Magento University - https://magento.com/training/catalog/merchants-marketers
Start from merchant/marketer track. There are free and paid courses there, even paid on demand are not crazy expensive.
https://www.magentocommerce.com/customer-success-stories/
https://magento.com/customers/customer-showcase
Alternatively, search for solution partners and check out the websites of some Magento Gold partners, they usually all list client examples as well:
http://partners.magento.com/partner_locator/search.aspx?t=SolutionPartners
Don’t get me started with Magento!
There are ways to avoid checkout issues with Magento (and Wordpress too to be fair) by using any payment provider that moves the checkout experience off-site (think Paypal)
Magento has had MAJOR security issues and known bugs (https://magento.com/security) sometimes patches are released and expected to be applied in days.
Magento development is 100x harder than Shopify development. Goto r/magento for some fun talks about the developer experience.
The best advice in this thread is to find a more flexible Shopify theme. Youtube also has a lot of great development tutorials to learn the liquid templating language.
Invest in learning Shopify, it isnt going anywhere
you can read Magento case studies of one of MSI first early adopters TOUS Poland - https://magento.com/case-studies/omnichannel-tous
Here is a webinar hosted by guys from Strix agency who run the website for TOUS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2kyUbwFlK0
It should also be noted that 2.2.7 was released yesterday, via https://magento.com/tech-resources/download
"We are pleased to present Magento Open Source 2.2.7. This release addresses critical security issues that include remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and cross-site request forgery issues. Functional fixes include enhancements that focus on wish list and shipping features.
Check out the 150+ community contributions, too. We strongly recommend that all merchants upgrade as soon as possible. See Magento Open Source 2.2.7 Release Notes for more information."
There are also better free solutions that are specific to e-commerce:
- Magento community edition
- Sylius (build on Symfony)
- Oro Commerce (B2B, also built on Symfony)
I would respectfully challenge that November 18, 2018 EOL date:
https://magento.com/blog/magento-news/ongoing-magento-1-support (from May 2017, mentions at least 18 months notice).
And who knows what Adobe's gonna do…
Hi! Full disclosure that I'm the Community Manager at Magento, but you can also find us on our official forums: https://community.magento.com/ or Stack Exchange: https://magento.stackexchange.com/. In addition I wrote on a blog post on how to get involved in the Magento Community: https://magento.com/blog/technical/how-get-involved-magento-community Feel free to get in touch!
You might be able to accomplish a lot of this with a collection of tools that work at a smaller scale. However, getting those integrated will require some technical work, but can be done (I've done it).
Accounting - start with quickbooks. To my knowledge it scales pretty well, and there are many ways to integrate your order/inventory systems in with it.
Orders, CC payments, sales tax, shipping, inventory - You can setup woocommerce. woocommerce is lightweight and relatively easy to work with, with a ton of free/cheap plugins to add to your needs. You can get inventory and shipping and other functions added in there... I've done this with a small business successfully, and it scaled pretty well. The other nice thing about woo is there are a lot of people that work with it, and have expertise.
Another option is magento, which I haven't used, but some people dig it. It likewise has plugins for various things.
Either way, you're going to need to hire a geek or two to get you setup and all the pieces integrated smoothly.
Yes, you can try to do it all with excel, but the description you've given (45 employees), you've long since grown beyond what excel and it's variants can be used for, in my opinion.
I agree with your direction that you're not big enough to invest in big ERPs like Oracle (I've done this one) or SAP. Microsoft will tell you that you can use their dynamics package as a small business. They have per user pricing but I think it's north of $100/user/month, generally, So I'm not sure they are much cheaper than others.
Hasta hace 6 meses laburaba en una marca de ropa muy conocida, y les vi "actualizar" la lista de precios en el magento con todos los precios descontando un 5% y que en la web diga "50% off".
Igualmente ya no es como antes, la gente se da cuenta que es medio choreo, pero así y todo en el ultimo cyber monday que estuve facturaron 10 millones de pesos en 3 días....
I would go with a managed hosting solution that includes Magento support. That website going down means possibly immediate lost revenue where as internal IT issues should be able to use something like online remote IT with paid local on-sites, such as Geek Squad (except that Geek Squad kinda sucks). Basically the two needs are different. Magento.com has a large list of "partners": https://magento.com/partners/portal/directory/?partner_type=1
It's unlikely you'll find someone who can do web development, server management, AND internal IT for an affordable price for a small business, with reasonable availability, and with reasonable competence. This is why contractors and outsourcing is so popular nowadays.
It's right on the page you linked??
https://magento.com/tech-resources/download?_ga=1.103959299.2047507671.1486578699#download1971
It depends whether you want to build/host it yourself, or if your uncle is happy to pay a fee to a provider. For hosted, you could try somewhere like Squarespace, I'm pretty sure they have good ecommerce setup there that will walk you through how to accept various different payment sources.
To host it yourself, there are probably a few options, I know Magento was pretty popular at one time. Obviously if you go this route, you'd need to know what you're doing with SSL certificates, server configuration, and setting up the various payment providers.

Short version.

Personally better to 'own' your platform and have full control but it comes down to your own processes, integrations, syncs, etc. We'd normally do a workshop to establish how the business runs and then match an approach/platform to that. The devil is in the detail... e.g. your orders may go to another system, but how, in what format, what frequency, does the other end expect certain things etc. This is especially important for accounting or fulfilment house sync.
From what you've mentioned, Magento would fit the bill. You could use cart2cart to help with the migration and keep that cost low but you WILL likely have lots of manual work to do going over your products and categories regardless of what platform you move to.
There is far more involved but if this helps then great. For a deeper level of detail or certainty customers would usually do the workshop with us or get some consulting from a nearby magento agency. It's a paid bit of work, but you're paying to reduce the risk of making a far more costly mistake when you get stuck down the road. It seems as if you're trying to do risk mitigation yourself right now so at least you're on the right path.
Final note, magento needs ongoing support. Probably a factor more costly than your currently 'settled' oscommerce so you should ensure you budget well for that too.
Hope that helps.
That is definitely a type of XSS.
And de Groot does not state how the sites are being attacked, but he does link to an exact vulnerability that definitely allows this to happen. This patch was released 20 months ago and many of the sites I've visited are running unpatched code from as far back as 2012, so I honestly don't understand why so many people here seem hostile to de Groot's analysis.
Yup, Magento is a bit of a beast. Much different to WordPress - much more configurable, and code base is more abstracted (including themes). Will take you a while to work out where stuff is, but documentation online is much better these days!
Highly recommend paying (or getting your employer to pay) for the Magento U videos offered (see https://magento.com/training/catalog/developers): this is how we get new Magento developers up to speed and have found them really good!
Also recommend you sign up to a Magento Meetup (see http://www.meetup.com/pro/magento/ as Magento has started centralising where these are listed. If you can't see one locally, search on Meetup.com more generally!).
Edit: see also magentotherightway.com, and look up Alan Storm and Vinai Kopp's blogs for more detailed info on Magento dev too.
Good luck!

I think the bigger problem was the information publicly posted here a week ago. While I agree that this post shouldn't have been made, mykehsd does have a point below that there hasn't been any good communication. Who was supposed to receive this email? Just partners? What about EE customers? We've just been sitting here in the dark waiting for the patch to be released, or for people to find the vulnerabilities it addresses.
So I'm a web designer/developer and I've personally worked on business websites to get them in compliance. ADA now applies to online businesses, but this was a change that happened recently so I understand your confusion. While there are many helpful widgets, there is manual work required.
If it's a personal site then don't worry about it.
If you have more questions please visit r/web_design.
Here's an example of the vulnerability https://www.foregenix.com/blog/javascript-malware-targeting-stripe-payments-on-websites and a notice by the vendor acknowledging it. https://magento.com/security/news/new-javascript-malware-issue.
The average user wouldn't notice it, but the ones that does hopefully would notify the site owner to tell them something's fucky. Or the dev team would notice it themselves more easily.

Magento is an open-source e-commerce platform written in PHP. It uses multiple other PHP frameworks such as Laminas and Symfony. Magento source code is distributed under Open Software License (OSL) v3.0. Magento was acquired by Adobe Inc in May 2018 for $1.68 billion.[2]
The software was originally developed by Varien Inc., a US private company headquartered in Culver City, California, with assistance from volunteers.
More than 100,000 online stores have been created on this platform. The platform code has been downloaded more than 2.5 million times, and $155 billion worth of goods have been sold through Magento-based systems in 2019.[3] Two years ago, Magento accounted for about 30% of the total market share.
I found this for you.
There are not enforceable legal standards that dictate web accessibility ... yet. However, many e-commerce stores are currently required to comply with the ADA. Any business with 15 full-time employees or running time of at least 20 weeks a year should be ADA compliant.Sep 16, 2019 https://www.business.com/articles/how-to-create-an-accessible-e-commerce-website/
Edit: format
I have read all the comments, thank you, but I would also like to add that all the information you need can be found at the link, go to this website https://magento.com/blog/technical/how-get-involved-magento-community
Absolutely zero value and a small possibility (but concrete) that Magento will sue you (depending on how much traffic do you have, you may incur in a costly issue). Develop a website and you will have high chances they will sue you.
see here: https://magento.com/legal/licensing
" **Can I use Magento trademarks, service marks, and logos?**You may use the Magento trademarks, service marks, and logos in the manner in which you are licensed to do so, and in accordance with our trademark rules or any guidance that we provide to you. See more on trademark rules below.
**Can I use the Magento trademark in one of my domain names or URLs?**No. You may not use the Magento trademark or any other mark associated with the Magento offering from our company in your domain name or URL. (For example, "www.magentohosting.com" is not allowed). See more on this topic below. "
Actually the value of your domain is less than zero. Hope you have not paid more than a renew fee.

I think it's best to stick to the real Magento which is 1.9.X.X (or Magento LTS, the real opensource e-commerce). Too many breaking changes in M2, like M2.1 to M2.3 cannot be upgraded in one command. There are many modules that are not compatible anymore and needs to be upgraded as well. O__O
Now upgrading to M2.4 from 2.3.5 is not as easy as one click. You need to configure ES and refactor your modules to support PHP7.4.
As a relatively active Mod, I'm not particularly happy about this rule. Magento is 100% my career since 2008. It has its shortcomings and this is not Magento.com, it's not Stackexchange and I want 100% to be able to talk openly about Magento's shortcomings both in the stack itself and the way the company manages it.
So on the positive side, the questionaire is generally not too bad and the requirements are basically things you should already be doing in the first place. Magento has a list of 12 things you should be doing, if you're doing those 12 things the questionaire is relatively painless https://magento.com/pci-compliance.
I'm guessing you're filling out SAQ-A? https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/documents/PCI-DSS-v3_2_1-SAQ-A.pdf?agreement=true&time=1579115385215
After you make sure you do the 12 things Magento recommends: Look at each of those requirements and try to work with your developer to write a 1 paragraph explanation of how you comply, if you can't do that you're probably not compliant. For example Requirement 8: You have site admins, who are they? What are their login IDs, are they all separate?
Larger businesses will have custom-built eCommerce sites. They might start with Magento or similar and build from there.
Wix or Squarespace (etc) wouldn't suit the needs of a large business.
Hiring a web developer wouldn't be the cheapest route, and it depends on your requirements. Something like Shopify might be a simple and cheap alternative, but they come with limitations. Eventually you'll discover that the platform simply can't do something that you want.
Does that help at all?
The flash buttons were replaced in SUPEE-8788, you're just running an older version. Best solutions is to update your installation with the latest patches. More discussion about it here
You are looking at the wrong platform. What you really need is the Magento Community Edition - an open source ecommerce platform once owned and developed by eBay and now by Adobe.
As with any piece of software, It's always better to stay up to date with the latest version. Having said that, if you are on an earlier version, you can always set up a Magento security scan to check the integrity of your site before switching.
​
Setting up the Magento Security scanner is a simple process. Go to the Magento security centre After that, simply login to your account and follow the steps from there.
​
The scan will tell you if there are any vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. If it turns out you do have any issues on your site, these should be raised with your development team. If you don't have a developer, I'd recommend seeking one out. You can find out the best way to find a Magento developer in this article here.
​
Hope that helps.

Also frontend in Magento is burning pile of garbage.
The B2B phenomenon is getting bigger as more merchants move to the online space.
B2B companies are looking for automated, web-based solutions to increase efficiency while decreasing their costs. To be competitive in the space, it’s important that your B2B eCommerce website isn’t just good, but out of this world.
From optimizing site speed to writing engaging content, here are the top 10 must-haves to create a stand-out eCommerce website that maximizes your profits.
The rise of eCommerce has put extra emphasis on convenience and shipping. While the two go hand-in-hand, shipping has become an essential component in successful B2B and B2C businesses.
The ability to order online and receive the product in a timely manner can influence buyers, drive sales, and create return visitors.
With the saturation of online retailers, it is important to make your business stand out among your competitors or at the very least, stay current with the needs of your consumer. In this case, having desirable shipping and returning options can be highly beneficial. The 2018 Pitney Bowes Global eCommerce study notes that 56 percent of consumers were disappointed by the past holiday season due to difficulties with shipping. Of that 56 percent, consumers listed main issues such as late shipment, expensive shipping costs, unfulfilled orders, wrong product shipped, unclear return policies, and poor packaging as direct reasons for their disappointment. Clearly, having a well-executed shipping plan can greatly impact the success of your eCommerce business. As many small businesses know, every sale matters and return consumers are doubly important.
In this article, we are going to share with you some facts and tips that can help you develop and implement a working shipping and fulfillment strategy. Order fulfillment covers a broad range of steps, from the information on your website to how your product is packaged and even the shipping options you give your customers.
Although it isn't really formatted as a "roadmap" per se, the Product Management Team held a webinar on October 31 for developers where they covered the new features that are currently included in the 2.3 beta. The landing page for that webinar (warning, registration required) gives you a decent overview of what's included in the nearly one hour webinar, but if you want to go straight to the video, you can also watch it directly via the new DevLogs channel on YouTube.
I have a similar need and had to have some customization done. Unfortunately the custom code was unstable and virtually none of it was compatible with Magento's upgrades after 2.1.7. I needed the newer version of M2 for the 1000's of fixes in 2.2 so I'm 1 year off schedule for repairs to all customizations.
​
My advice would be to use caution with hiring a dev and keep it as simple as possible so as not to run into issues when upgrading later.
​
Magento has also launched a service that could help answer your question. I wish this was around a year ago when I was having problems with my dev at the time - perhaps it could have saved me a lot of time and money! https://magento.com/services
​
- Download and install something like XAMPP or WAMP on your PC
- Get the Magento "Open Source" package from the Magento site (you will have to sign up for an account, but it's free)
- Unzip the Magento CE source package into your WAMP/XAMPP Web root (varies by installation). You should have an index.php file in your root directory (usually "/htdocs" under XAMPP, unless they've changed it), along with a bunch of subdirectories like /app, /bin, /dev, and so forth.
You might need to fiddle with a couple of PHP settings, but that's really all there is to it. Start up your Apache and MySQL services, and point your browser to http://localhost -- you should get the Magento initial installation/setup page.
Hello, I'm currently studying for this exam and I've taken your practice exam and have been reading through your study guide. I have found at least two questions where the practice test 'correct' answers contradict your own study guide and magento.com
I would suggest you go for a platform like shopify. This would remove the hassles of finding a host and a web designer and you can focus on the real thing that is selling/marketing your product.
It can be tedious to get a custom website designed and well made websites are much costlier than what you would pay for ecommerce platforms.
Another advantage of these platforms is that they handle payments for you., customers are more likely to buy on a well known platform as compared to a site they are not familiar with.
check out shopify , https://www.shopify.in/pricing magento .. https://magento.com/business-needs/small-business
I don't agree with the arguments presented, Magento does have a SaaS available https://magento.com/business-needs/small-business Magento is very flexible and oriented towards medium to big business. Shopify is a closed platform, you are 100% dependent on them and their technical limitations.
For example very big companies can choose, to extract some of the modules as micro services, or replace them with something else.
I would say it's more likely to start on shopify and then move to magento or something else.
This is the great source for Magento news and tutorials. I mostly keep reading Magneto tutorials to get daily updates and news regarding magento. I like this source but the tutorials on Magneto and Magenticians is entirely different and easy to learn.
Just based on cart size it sounds like you're a B2B business or hybrid (mix of B2C and B2B).
This is a realm where Magento has existing extensions (Magento 1x), and Magento 2 (recently patched back into 2.1.6+ support for large carts (we're performance testing with 300 line items). In addition we'll be launching add'l B2B features to our paid licensees in the upcoming 2.2 release.
On Magento 2.1.7 (latest) Open Commerce (that's our open source version) we can support 100 line items in a checkout. There are a variety of way you can manage price in M2; perhaps a different website/customer group for your B2B customers or just a B2B customer group & tiered pricing as another approach. If you opt for/license our 2.2 Magento Commerce release we will have a variety of other useful B2B features (https://magento.com/resources/magento-22-webinar-developers)
Another option might be Orocommerce (https://www.orocommerce.com).
Your question is quite a general one, but maybe you find some help in the links below as they offer guides and tips (the first one specifically relates to your question) https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/126153/out-of-stock-products-still-appear-in-the-frontend-seach-and-others-magento-2
We're introducing pipeline deployment in our upcoming release (2.2) which with our improvements to Varnish caching (saint & grace mode) you should be able to get a minimal downtime deployment with fairly minimal CICD work.
I'm sure more technical readers here can help. I'll point you in the right direction. Look for SUPEE-8967
From Magento.com:
This patch contains update for Magento to correctly recognize update BIN range of card numbers from Mastercard. It is applicable only to Magento versions prior to CE 1.9.3.0, and is already included in versions CE 1.9.3.0 and newer. For versions older than Magento CE 1.9.0.0, a previous patch for Discover changes (SUPEE-2725) need to be applied first.
Oops, I linked to the wrong place. I was trying to link to Magento DevBox Beta that was mentioned in the admin notifications in january. But thank you anyway.
This is really the best resource
If you're not already familiar with LESS, get comfortable with it.
Magento is a beast of a platform, so be ready to hit learning curve after learning curve the first few months. :)
I'm going to throw out look for a Magento partner. While you can find a freelancer who is worth their stuff....a much better chance you do not.
You can start here: https://magento.com/find-a-partner
Depending on your size Magento would also work with you to find a partner that fits what you are looking for.
If you are hosted with someone, you can also ask them, they have trusted partners they can recommend to you as well.
The software we use is https://magento.com
I'm not sure if it would be beneficial in your situation but it's useful for us with some add on modules.
Should also mention that they're a smaller company and you can request updates to the software to do what you need for a reasonable price.
Why you don't use a shop software instead of wordpress etc? I mean do you actually want to sell stuff there or just show? If you want to sell, then you need to have a checkout, with all that technical stuff. There are plugins etc for wordpress, joomla and so on, which enhance the cms to a shop, but working with a framework just created for this would be better in my opinion. I would suggest something like Shopware (https://en.shopware.com), Magento (https://magento.com/) or PrestaShop (https://www.prestashop.com/en/). All of them are highly customizable.
Can highly recommend the Magento U videos - they do cost, but we've found the best way to get existing PHP developers up to speed on Magento: https://magento.com/training/overview
They have videos for Magento 1 and 2.
Totally agree with jesse_dev - can't imagine hiring a developer who only knows Magento 2, so a bit of Magento 1 development experience is likely to be essential. Certainly a lot of the terminology and processes in Magento 1 are transferable to Magento 2.
Depends on what your ecommerce is going to do. Stuff like shopify is a boilerplate sort of package for most people's needs. A Corolla basically.
Don't know the company, their website didn't open either. imho I wouldn't trust an IT company that sells me "their own CMS" because that usually entails low quality compared to popular CMS's, and its a way for them to work once and duplicate for every client they have (why rebuild a CMS for every project?), and finally, lock you in with maintenance and long-term because who else will know how to work with their CMS?
Plus that tacky spelling in business? Really?
So No to company owned CMS, pick popular well-known ones.
There's a popular CMS for ecommerce called https://magento.com/
Finally, I'm confused, is it a web hosting company or IT development company?
I tried Shopify once but had to abandon it because I couldn't properly integrate outside platforms with it. I ended up trying both Magento and Zenbership but settled on Zenbership. Both are free and open source and solid choices. The difference for me was that Zenbership, while probably not as good for actual shopping cart creation, had a wider range of features I needed like the membership component and the hook system.
Take a look: http://zenbership.com/Features/eCommerce-Tools https://magento.com/
That's because Magento has a lot of features, and text dumping them in a single list is probably not attractive, and not really informative (speculation/opinion). Instead they give out user guides that outline and detail all their features and how to use them.
Page to find the guides for all versions, CE and EE, 1.x and 2.x: https://magento.com/help/documentation
Which links to this page for the 1.x Community Edition Guide: http://merch.docs.magento.com/ce/user_guide/Magento_Community_Edition_User_Guide.html

@HalfPintBob
Not sure if you saw this - Here's a statement from Magento on Guruincsite. They say it's a new exploit of the shoplift vulnerability.
