Does anyone know if it's ok or possible to upgrade to older versions of oc. I installed v3 as a new client but have seen more features in older v2's online, and looking to try it out. Will my current Products, categories, profile, database, etc all be ok if I attempted this?
Any advice or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

It is an downgrade not an upgrade.

You should be able to convert database manually /transfer.

If you can't, stay with 3.x or pay to someone to do this for you.

Thanks,
From what I've seen, there are more features in v2, which is why I'd like to try it out. Certain things just don't work in v3 as well. So that's why I'm describing it as an upgrade to v2.

If I wanted to pay for a service, I'd get something bespoke rather than using an 'off the shelf' product like oc.

If anyone has gone through the process, your experiences are welcome. Thanks.

Create backup of your site and database and setup it up on localhost. After that manually downgrade by using database of v3 install v2 on local.

OC 3 is actually OC 2.4. It's not something super new or completely different. It started as a new OC 2 release and simply was renamed later. But I prefer OC 2 myself.
