Store Import is an add-on that imports the database from an older version of your store to 4.x.x. The process takes several steps:
Important
The table below shows what versions of CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor you can import data from (the Upgrade from column), and what versions come with the Store Import add-on (the Upgrade to column):
Upgrade from: | Upgrade to: |
---|---|
CS-Cart Professional 2.2.4 - 3.0.6 | CS-Cart 4.0.2 - 4.3.2 |
CS-Cart Ultimate 3.0.1 - 3.0.6 | CS-Cart 4.0.2 - 4.3.2 |
CS-Cart Multi-Vendor 2.2.4 - 3.0.6 | Multi-Vendor 4.0.2 - 4.3.2 |
Important
If you’d like to import data to newer versions of CS-Cart, please get the free Store Import add-on from the CS-Cart Marketplace.
Note
Technically, Store Import can be used to do jump between patch and minor versions (for example, from 4.3.1 to 4.3.9, and from 4.4.1 to 4.6.2 respectively). However, we recommend using the Upgrade Center if you’d like to upgrade your store from CS-Cart or Multi-Vendor 4.0.x and later versions.
Important
CS-Cart/Multi-Vendor 4.2.x and 4.3.x require PHP 5.3.x or higher. CS-Cart 4.3.6 requires PHP 5.3.6 or higher.
You can use the Store Import add-on if you own a license with an active upgrade subscription. If you license does not have an active upgrade subscription, you can either prolong upgrades for the current license, or buy a new license.
Important
Don’t use both the old and the new store at the same time with one license. Keep the new store closed (Settings → General → Close storefront) while you configure it. Close the storefront of the old store right after you go live with your new store. Learn more about closing your storefront.
Depending on what version of CS-Cart/Multi-Vendor you used for your old store, some data may be left out during the import process.
The add-on imports all the data, including layouts and settings.
The add-on doesn’t import some settings:
The add-on doesn’t import most of the layout data (information about blocks and tabs). There are some exceptions:
