Migrate your website from MagentoGo or ProStore to Magento Community
Ebay’s important E-commerce platform MAGENTO, is going to shut down its two of its products MagentoGo and ProStores which was designed specifically for small and medium sized retailers. Magento also intimates that the products will go dark on FEB 1’2015 to all its customers via mail and still it will continue to operate and perform normally to provide customer service until February 1, 2015.
In a Statement posted at Magento Community, Mark Lavelle, SVP, Product and Strategy at eBay Enterprise explains, “Changing market requirements” were a significant factor in its decision to close things down. This might be an unfair decision for small and medium sized merchants, but still they can migrate to magento community through the help centers or can approach a leading web design agency.
At E-foreknowledge we specialize in a Magento community platform. We can further help small and medium sized merchants to migrate their present MagentoGo and ProStores to Magento community with a completely friendly SEO site. This would help the MagentoGo customers to be visible on search engines and compete with large sized merchants.
