However, you will have to spend a lot of time and effort moving your data to your new OpenCart. Furthermore, if you are not a tech-savvy person, there&#8217;s a high chance of unexpected errors during the upgrade process, and fixing them can be a nightmare.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Professional Help<\/strong> is when you hire a web agency or developer to carry out the <strong>OpenCart upgrade<\/strong> and import data to your new store for you. The main drawback of this method lies in its steep price and possible issues during the process, since there is no guarantee that your web agency or developer fully understands the data structure of the platform.

Follow these exact steps to ensure a smooth and secure upgrade process.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Backup Your Store<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>You can back up the database through your hosting control panel (using tools like phpMyAdmin) or via the OpenCart admin panel under <strong>System &gt; Maintenance &gt; Backup\/Restore<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>For the files, use an FTP client like FileZilla to download a copy of your entire store&#8217;s directory. Store these backups in a secure location, separate from your live server, before you start any <strong>OpenCart upgrade<\/strong> work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Check Compatibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Review the extensions, modules, and themes used on your current OpenCart 3 store. Make sure they have updates or versions compatible with OpenCart 4.<\/li>\n<li>Disable or uninstall any extensions and custom themes that don&#8217;t support the new version. This reduces the risk of conflicts during the <strong>OpenCart upgrade<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Contact the developers of any third-party extensions to confirm whether they have updates available for OpenCart 4, or look for alternatives that are already compatible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Upload OpenCart 4 Files<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Download the latest OpenCart 4 version from the official OpenCart website.<\/li>\n<li>Use an FTP client to upload the new version&#8217;s files to your server, replacing the existing OpenCart 3 files. When prompted, choose to overwrite existing files.<\/li>\n<li>Be careful not to overwrite the <code>config.php<\/code> and <code>admin\/config.php<\/code> files, as these contain your store&#8217;s configuration details. Alternatively, back these files up before the upload and restore them afterward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Run the Upgrade Script<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Re-enable your extensions one at a time to check for compatibility issues. Update them if newer versions are available for OpenCart 4.<\/li>\n<li>Switch back to your custom theme if applicable, and confirm it functions correctly after the <strong>OpenCart upgrade<\/strong>. You may need to update the theme or tweak settings for full compatibility.<\/li>\n<li>Perform thorough testing across your store&#8217;s functionalities, including checkout, customer registration, and product pages. Check the error logs in the admin panel for any issues that need attention.<\/li>\n<li>Monitor the store for a few days to ensure the <strong>OpenCart upgrade<\/strong> didn&#8217;t introduce any bugs or performance issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"step2\"><strong>Migration Preparation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before executing the actual upgrade, establishing a secure foundation is essential to prevent any unexpected issues.

Backup database of your OpenCart store<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Firstly, it&#8217;s important to back up your data before any changes to your store. However, you do not need to worry about any distortion of your database when performing an OpenCart update with <strong>LitExtension<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, in this article, we will still provide you with a guide on how to back up an OpenCart store. Please follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Log in to your OpenCart store and go to your store&#8217;s backend<\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong><em>System \u2192 Maintenance \u2192 Backup\/Restore.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Put a tick beside the file types you want to download. <strong><em>Select all<\/em><\/strong> options to allow you to export all data in your OpenCart store.<\/li>\n<li>Click <strong><em>Export.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As a result, the data you export is all the data tables in the MySQL database usable for download.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/OpenCart-backup-database-e1610530094430-1024x455.png\" alt=\"OpenCart backup database\" width=\"1024\" height=\"455\" \/><figcaption><em>OpenCart backup database<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Note<\/em>: If you need to restore a backup file that you saved on your computer, simply select <strong>Restore<\/strong> and choose the <strong>SQL file<\/strong> from your computer.

Create an OpenCart store in the latest version<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To update OpenCart, of course, you need to download and install its latest version.

Before you proceed, go through this checklist to avoid irreversible damage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Never upgrade directly on your live\/production store.<\/strong> Test the <strong>OpenCart upgrade<\/strong> on a staging environment or a cloned copy first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confirm PHP and MySQL version compatibility.<\/strong> OpenCart 4 requires a higher minimum PHP version than OpenCart 3, so check your hosting environment before uploading files.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not skip the database backup<\/strong>, even if you only plan to update files. Schema changes between major versions can corrupt data if something fails midway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watch out for custom-coded modifications (vQmod\/OCmod overrides).<\/strong> These are a leading cause of white screens and fatal errors after an <strong>OpenCart upgrade<\/strong>, since the core files they modify may no longer exist or may have changed structure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do not overwrite <code>config.php<\/code> and <code>admin\/config.php<\/code>.<\/strong> Losing these means losing your database connection settings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check write permissions<\/strong> on the <code>system\/storage<\/code> and <code>image<\/code> directories after uploading new files, since incorrect permissions are a common cause of broken image uploads and caching errors post-upgrade.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid running the upgrade during peak traffic hours.<\/strong> Downtime during the file-replacement step is unavoidable in a manual <strong>OpenCart upgrade<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have a rollback plan ready.<\/strong> If the upgrade script fails, you need your full backup (files + database) ready to restore within minutes, not hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If any of these steps feel out of your comfort zone, an automated <strong>OpenCart upgrade<\/strong> tool like LitExtension removes most of this risk, since it migrates your data into a freshly installed OpenCart 4 store instead of overwriting your live files.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"step5\"><strong>Post-Migration Activities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"step4\"><strong>1. Check results after migration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After the full transfer, click on &#8220;Check Result&#8221; to make sure everything is well migrated to your new OpenCart store.<\/p>\n<p>All items in the catalog, categories, and onsite search can be seen on the front end. If any product from the source is not on display on the new one, you will need to check from the admin panel. Log into the back end and choose <strong>Catalog &gt; Products<\/strong> to find the entity and make sure it is enabled.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Product-on-the-OpenCart-store-1-1024x499.png\" alt=\"Product on the OpenCart store\" width=\"770\" height=\"375\" \/><figcaption><em>Product on the OpenCart store<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Note<\/em>: Out-of-stock products can be disabled and not visible from the front office.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, some steps need to be taken for your store to go live.

Choose a theme for your OpenCart store<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you want to maintain the same design in your new OpenCart store, you should check whether the old theme is compatible with your current OpenCart version.
