Top 10 Magento Alternatives

As you may have found out already, Magento will no longer be supporting Magento 1 software starting June 2020.  When it was announced in 2017, that seemed so far away, but now it’s only a couple months away.  So the time is now to change your eCommerce platform.  Because, if you don’t, you are putting your website at risk to viruses and your customer’s information vulnerable.  Because in June 2020, your website will no longer be supported by security updates.

But luckily there are a lot of great Magento alternatives.  We’ll go over the 10 best e-commerce platforms that you could start using for your e-commerce website.
