3. Backup Your Data Before Proceeding

Before making any updates, it is strongly recommended that you backup your website and transaction data. This ensures you can restore your site if anything goes wrong.

Note: Live Payments does not provide backup services or guarantee the effectiveness of any third-party backup plugins. Please consult your hosting provider for professional backup solutions.
