Switch Magento into OpenMage

Our migration service to OpenMage is a convenient and cost-effective way to migrate your Magento 1.x into the latest OpenMage v19.4.15 in terms of our regular upgrade service.

What is OpenMage?

OpenMage is a community-driven fork of Magento 1.x CE with direct upgrade path. LTS stands for Long Term Support to support and maintain OpenMage fork after M1 EOL at least 5 years ahead. You can check the project activity, commits and releases directly at Github.
OpenMage is compatible with up2date Web-stack: latest nginx version, maintained PHP versions from PHP7.x up to PHP8, MySQL 8.0+ and MariaDB 10.2+

Security

OpenMage releases include security patches to keep system secure. The following patches were included since M1 EOL date: patches for CVE-2021-21427, CVE-2021-21426, CVE-2020-26295, CVE-2020-26285, CVE 2020-26252, CVE-2020-15244, APSB20-47 and SUPEE-11346.

What about third-party modules developed for Magento 1, products, customers? Are there incompatibility issues?

All third-party extensions should work just like on Magento 1.9.4.5, there are some compatibility issues possible with the latest OpenMage v19.4.15 and we’ll solve it during upgrade process. All products, customers, third-party extensions, menu structure, any custom grid and your local overrides will remain as is.

OpenMage demo

We’ve prepared OpenMage demo, receive demo access credentials to check it out. Also, we can prepare custom demo based on your data/use-case, please just let us know your requirements.

What will happen to all customization of my Magento 1 store?

Just like with Magento 1 upgrades, we preserve customization updating when needed with all local overrides, changes in core files and templates.

How to migrate to OpenMage LTS

The process is very similar to standard Magento 1 upgrade, i.e. like upgrade from Magento 1.8 up to 1.9.4. First, store is upgraded up to 1.9.4.5, after that we prepare upgrade patch for your store from OpenMage Git repository and merge it with your codebase. We upgrade your store to the latest OpenMage v19.4.15 with our regular Magento upgrade service, simply select OpenMage LTS as version to upgrade to.
