That's indeed a really nice tool.
Hello.
I think one of the problems that does not allow you to quickly go to the object-oriented version of hikashop are previous users.
You can not consider them at this time. This will make it much easier for you.
You must have noticed that acymailing made the same decision and rewrote its new version so that it could design the email design section by dragging and dropping.
The same is possible for hikashop. It depends on which one your users like the most. Market research, customer surveys and competitor surveys will ultimately help you make the right decision. Whichever is right, you should not waste time and leave the opportunity to your opponent.
In the new version, you can also think of integrating with Joomla page builders and frameworks like helix ultimate 2. You can even prepare a new kernel for WordPress compatibility. In this case, it does not matter which cms hikashop users use. Either way (Joomla or WordPress) your customer will remain. Wherever they are, they work with hikashop and offer it to their customers.
But what will happen to current hikashop users?
Good question A good import plugin in the new version will solve the problem. This plugin knows how to export the settings and products of the previous version to the new version of hikashop and users will not have a hard time migrating.
Writing this for you is purely out of interest and not in my commercial interest.
I just share my ideas to get better with you. I hope they are useful.
Good luck.
