Important Notes: You can use Clone to update your cart and make sure it works correctly before applying the updates in your live site. And after the updates work as expected, you need to replicate the steps for all the updating on the live site while in MTCE. If you can do the updating all in one session while LIVE site is in MTCE you can use Staging. |
