Another question then: Do i just install the business version over this one, via the extension manager /install in joomla? Thank you!

Thanks!")* Hi, 1. By updating HikaShop you won't loose any information. It will just upgrade the files and add new columns in the database if required. Your views overrides, css **overrides**, language, configuration, orders, products will stay intact. But careful if you have modified directly an HikaShop file and you didn't use the backend interface for that. Because you could loose your modifications. 2. Sure you'll just have to install it through the Joomla extension manager Last edit: 13 years 1 week ago by [Mohamed Thelji](/forum/user/6861-mohamed-thelji "View Mohamed Thelji's Profile").
