Umbraco upgrading from 7 to 8

Please note that the Ucommerce for Umbraco has two different packages for 7 and 8. These packages are not cross compatible. That means that, if you are looking for upgrading Umbraco from version 7 to 8, you will need to port your solution. Below are the steps for porting Ucommerce from Umbraco 7 to 8 :

  • Clean installation for Umbraco 8 with no additional data.
  • Install clean Ucommerce 8.
  • Move configuration files and templates.
  • Manually upgrade the old Ucommerce database. Here are the steps:
    • Identify the old Ucommerce schema version. You do that by looking at the uCommerce_SystemVersion table.
    • Go to the new website, under Ucommerce/install folder you will find all the database scripts.
    • Apply the ones that are missing to the old Ucommerce database.
  • Change the configuration of the website to point to the old Ucommerce database.

CMS-Ucommerce compatibility:

Please note that not all versions of Ucommerce are compatible with any CMS version. To that effect, we have a compatibility spreadsheet that, although incomplete, is as close to the truth as possible.

Not all possibilities were tested. If you find any discrepancies or are worried of a specific compatibility, please contact support.
