How to Migrate from Prestashop to Magento?

Prestashop is a well-known Ecommerce solution, which empowers over 130,000 online stores today. It provides advanced marketing and SEO tools, useful support and high-level security. However, traders claim that the Prestashop store is not steady after major upgrades. In addition, some essential extensions are available for extra costs.
