Step 1: Backup, Backup, Backup

Please take a FULL BACKUP of your site before you start the migration process. There are a number of breaking changes in J2Store 4 so it's always better to have the backup and not need it, than need the backup and not have it.

Step 2: Install the Migration Helper Utility

We have created a simple migration helper that check for potential conflicts with the plugins and lets you disable them before the migration.
  • Download the utility from here: Migration Helper Utility
  • Install it by logging into your Joomla 3 administrator -> extensions -> Install
  • Once installed, go to Components -> J2Migration checker

Step 3: Disable all J2Store Plugins, Modules, and Apps

The migration helper will list all the J2Store plugins, apps, modules, extensions that needs to be disabled before you can proceed with it.

Once you have disabled them, you will see a “green light” for proceeding with the migration.

If you have any custom developed extension for J2Store, please reach out to the respective vendors / developers for compatibility.

We’ll not be able to support any custom developed extensions / plugins / add-ons / modules.

Step 4: Install J2Store 4

Step 5: Upgrading J2Store plugins

Please check our extensions section to get the latest version of the J2Store plugins / apps / modules / extensions you have in your site.

You need to install the Joomla 4 compatible version of all the J2Store plugins / apps / modules / extensions you have in your site before you can upgrade to Joomla 4.

We are publishing the Joomla 4 compatible J2Store plugins / extensions in the J2Commerce Extensions directory.

Step 6: Ensure all the plugins / extensions in your site are Joomla 4 compatible.

If you have other extensions / plugins / modules from third party developers, you need to check their Joomla 4 compatibility before upgrading to Joomla 4.

Just upgrading J2Store 3 to J2Store 4 will not ensure compatibility for Joomla 4. All the extensions and plugins that you use in your site should be Joomla 4 compatible before you upgrade.
