Hi,

Are there anywhere instructions on how to upgrade from oc 1.5.6.4 to the latest 3.x version?

Thank you.

The only valid possible upgrade could be the Database, everything else will not be upgradable. At best, get a Professional, to export/import the DB Content, to make it work in one of the latest privately offered OC v.3.x Releases, like this one:
https://github.com/IP-CAM/Opencart-v.3. ... -PHP-v.8.1
OC v.4.x is not yet ready to be qualified as Final ... ;)

Do a fresh install of OpenCart 3.0.3.8, including your extensions (verify they all support OpenCart 3). Then use the Export/Import tool for copying your categories and products from the your old site to the new one, see our FAQ on this.

I would second that. I've done a few 1.5.6.4 to v3 upgrades and it's a slow and fiddly process.

We would third it, it's usually a case of rebuilding in 3.

I am actually mostly interested in migrating my customers and orders. The products and categories can be recreated manually as there aren't many. Does the mentioned tool transfer customers and order? Sorry, I can't seem to find much detail on the website.

So I am mainly concerned about customers and orders. Everything else I actual prefer to do manually. Could I install a fresh copy of Opencart 3.x and then somehow transfer just customers and orders? What would happen to the encrypted passwords?

Customers and users can always submit a password recovery request on the page in case that happens. It's already integrated into the core.

Dedication and passion goes to those who are able to push and merge a project.
