Security patches Adobe will ever ship for your store

It's not just CVEs. PHP 5.6 (the runtime under most M1 stores) has been EOL since January 2019. PCI-DSS 4.0 went mandatory March 2025 — payment processors are now sending 90-day compliance letters to merchants on EOL stacks. Visa fines for non-compliance start at $5,000/month.

Meanwhile your store loads in 6–9 seconds on mobile, and Google's Core Web Vitals update means you rank below competitors who replatformed in 2022.

06 · Who's actually doing the work

Founder, Pipeloop

No agency, no offshore team, one operator running the same playbook.

I built Pipeloop because every Magento 1 store owner I've talked to has the same story: an agency quoted $40–$120K, the project ran 6 months, scope crept, and they bailed back to M1 because the price doubled.

The migration is not hard. It's just done badly when you scope it from scratch every time. I've standardized the work, the apps, the redirect map, and the QA checklist. Same SKU, every time. That's why $7,500 is honest, not suspicious.

If you can't hit 14 days, I tell you on the 20-minute scoping call before you wire. Not on day 13.

Ready when you are

Day 1 starts the Monday after we get your wire.
