Magento 1 End of life Options

This puts the site at risk of Security breaches due to no more updates by developers.
There will also be no more improvements to core functionality, this may result in your website falling behind your competitors.

Can you stay on Magento 1 ?
Not everyone needs the beneficial Magento 2 features or have the budget to migrate to another platform. Staying on Magento 1 is still an option for businesses who won’t benefit from the latest features and feel comfortable with what they already have. We think it is possible that in third-party developers will provide community-based improvements and security patches to the platform after June 2020.
