What to know before updating
Special editions
If you have a special edition of Open2b (version 7.0 or 7.1), you can update while keeping the features of the special edition in use. You will also be able to take advantage of the new Stripe and Batch API features.
How to check your Open2b version
You can see your Open2b version in the admin by clicking the icon in the top right.
App compatibility
If you have version 7.0 or 7.1, apps are compatible. For more details, see the API v8 updates. If you have an earlier version, a compatibility check will be required first.
Compatibility with current templates
Depending on your current Open2b version, you may need to convert the template to the new Scriggo® format or install a new template from the Store.
- version 7.1: your current template will continue to work normally. Some new features still require template changes to be used.
- version 7.0:
- if you have a template in the new format Scriggo®, you can update. Some features still require template changes to be used.
- if you use a template in the old format, to update you must first convert the template to the new Scriggo® format. If you ask us to convert it, you can also request integration of the new 7.2 features. Alternatively, you can first apply one of the 7.0 templates from the Store and, after the update, apply the Store template again but this time for version 7.2, which already includes the new features.
- version 2019 and earlier: you are certainly using a template in the old format. Therefore you must first update to version 7.0, then convert the template to the Scriggo® format or install a Store template for version 7.0, and only then can you update to version 7.2.
