You don't need to migrate to the new platform. Moreover, if your X-Cart store is working and generating sales I would recommend you to stay with it.
If you decide to switch to the new platform, we will provide you with a script importing data and settings (that apply) from X-Cart 4.3 and LiteCommerce 2.2. However, most likely, there will be no such a script for templates and custom mods.

Templates we can re-do, no biggie, but the importing of products and customer data and variables etc - that's going to be key.
Will QualiTeam also be working on a conversion tool?

Such a tool importing data and settings (that apply) from LiteCommerce 2.2 will be available starting from X-Cart 4.3.

We haven't decided yet.

Right now we are at a crossroad, where we will be deciding it x-cart is really the way to go, or should we be looking at another option.

Yes, we will fix bugs (if any), provide technical support, custom development and web-design services to X-Cart 4 users. However, most likely, new features won't be added to X-Cart 4 but the features that will appear in X-Cart 4.3.
If you would like to start a new online store, you can start it with X-Cart 4.2/4.3 and make profit before we release the new cart.

Are we, their customer base, going to be asked to list our requirements, to actually say what we want? I would be prepared to spend time on this IF I could be assured it was worth it.
Are they going to list all our requirements and get votes or something, to get an idea of who what wants what etc? Are they going to involve the large customer base and listen to us, get our help, so that togther we can develop the best ever cart?

Yes, we surely will ask you to share your ideas and thoughts. I will consider possible ways and let you know details in a couple of days. For now I would appreciate if you do not discuss your ideas here.
