eBay’s e-commerce division, eBay Enterprise, announced that two of its products sold through the Magento platform will be shut down as of February 1, 2015. As reported by Internet Retailer, both The Magento Go and ProStores platforms, which count as clients 10,000 merchants, will be shut down.
The news source explained that a good option for larger retailers will be through Magento, which will continue to offer the Enterprise and Community editions of its e-commerce platform. Smaller retailers will still have an option, as Magento will be working with Bigcommerce, which is an e-commerce technology platform vendor.
eBay Enterprise senior vice president of product and strategy Mark Lavelle commented on the matter:
“We chose Bigcommerce to help with the transition because of their shared commitment to client success and their proven track record of migrating large groups of merchants onto their platform,” Lavelle said. “Throughout this transition period, we will fully support both ProStores and Go, and clients will receive the same level of customer service they’ve come to expect.”
Bigcommerce President Steve Powers explained that his company has transitioned more than 12,000 merchants from other platforms to its platforms. This included 6,000 from ProStores.
