If you move data from an older version to a newer one, we do not recommend using export/import. Not all types of data can be imported ( e.g orders), there can also be some mess with IDs or customers/products/categories.
Instead, you should upgrade the store, as a result you do not need to transfer any data manually at all.
But before taking any steps, please create a dev copy and use it as a sandbox.
*If your store is of
version 4.5.0-4.5.5, you can download an upgrade pack and patch both files and database.
*If your store is of
version 4.1.x-4.4.x, the most optimal way is to:
- save
blowfish key
- upgrade DATABASE to v.4.5.0 by means of SQL upgrade patch ( in upgrade pack).
- assign the upgraded database to fresh 4.5.0, specify the blowfish key.
- upgrade from v4.5.0 to 4.6 by means of upgrade patches.
This is a very general instruction. Should you need a more detailed one, please request help in your HelpDesk account. Our engineers can also upgrade the store for you.
