upgrades as they become available

[jester12345]

I have been tasked with implementing osCommerce for a client. Because he wants to use Payflow Link, I need to use a snapshot of 2.2, rather than the stable 2.1 release (as that is what the module requires).

 

osCommerce seems very powerful and full featured. I am very impressed with it. However, I am concerned, naturally, about using software that is still in development (and I let my client know my concerns). I was wondering how hard it is to safely upgrade a live store as new features/bug fixes become available? Has anyone had experience with this and can give advice or make recommendations? Or, is the idea of using development code for a live store absolutely insane?

 

Thanks for the advice,

Arthur
