Apart of that this is going to be very easy on pockets too as for marketing an application one has to spend tens of thousands of dollars.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]How to migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2 and what is the process to be followed?
