Replace depreciated Google Image Charts with Image-Charts

Most Adobe Commerce editions and versions currently use Google Image Charts to render static charts in Admin dashboards. As of March 14, 2019, Google will stop supporting Google Image Charts. To resolve this issue, we are providing a patch to replace Google Image Charts with Image-Charts free service.

Affected versions

  • Adobe Commerce 1.X, all editions
  • Adobe Commerce 2.X, all editions
NOTE

Adobe Commerce on-premises 1.14.4.1, Magento Open Source 1.9.4.1, Adobe Commerce on-premises and Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure 2.3.2 will include this chart update. Upgrading to these versions continues support for image charts without additional patches.

Issue

Google stopped supporting Google Image Charts on March 14, 2019. Users of Adobe Commerce 1.X and Adobe Commerce 2.2.X all versions will not be able to view static charts unless they download and apply the patch, replacing Google Image Charts with Image-Charts solution. Displayed charts will have the same design and functionality of Google Image Charts through the Image-Charts free account service with a GDPR compliance privacy policy. For additional options, please see Image-Charts.
