Unfortunately, almost all file changes and add-ons made for version 3.x are not compatible with 4.x version due to significant changes in the core of CS-Cart which were made for 4.x versions. Hire someone to update 3rd party add-ons.

Cs cart 3.03 to version 4.2.x upgrade





Hi,



We are using cs cart 3.03 version for our store from a long time and happy with its flexibilty and features,in the process we customised many features to suit our requirement.



Now as the new version 4.2.x is released we want to upgrade to that version,before doing that we want to know about any precautions we should take in the process of upgrade or look for any potential pitfalls.



And another question we have, do we need to redo the customisation that we have done for features in 3.03 version when we upgrade to version 4.2.x?



Any other things if we need to look out while upgrading?



Thanks in Advance for your help



Looking forward to continue with excellent features of 4.2.x

Yes, most of the things you have customized in v3 will need to be upgraded for v4. CS-Cart v4 is a major release with many core changes.

Also you will not be able to upgrade using the Upgrade Center. You will need to make a new install, then use the store import tool to bring your products, orders, customers, etc. over to the new v4 store.
