Croft Online is a family firm with incredibly 40 years of standing in the pet products market, which always endeavors to deliver high-quality items as well as customer service. 

Over a long time running the online business, Croft’s website met some significant issues with its performance and design.

That’s why they got in touch with Tigren to improve the site. After examining Croft’s old website and listening to their expectations, we suggested migrating from Magento 1 to Magento 2 to enhance the site comprehensively from the design to functionality.

In today’s post, we will summarise all of the major tasks on the Croft migration process and hope that other Magento store owners can learn something useful via this example of Magento migration.
