Do I have to pay to update Prestashop now?

[cdelicath81]

After trying to download 1-click upgrade and finding no download link and nothing in the modules area. Am I to understand we now have to pay for a module to keep Prestashop updated?

I was told it will no longer be available and was offered links to paid versions by Dora "Chat help"

I just want to verify this so I don't needlessly migrate my three shops to another software.

current ver. 1.765

Notified to update to 1.769 with a button to download that takes me to 1-click updater but no link to download.

Hi 

It should not be paid to  my knowledge,  you can get module from GitHub

https://github.com/PrestaShop/autoupgrade/releases

 

Note like with every upgrade it is recommended to test it on staging site first and make several full backups.

Thank you. 

I was accustom to getting it from the Prestashop website or through the modules manager in the dashboard. Neither of which where available and then after getting that info from what I would assume to be a direct representative of Prestashop I was a bit concerned.

True it is not visible on addons download.

Will ask on official Slack channel and probably get some replays tomorrow.

Got the answer from Simon QA manager

The module is directly available in the back office (through the module catalog) because it's a native module.
Native modules are not available through Addons.
Not sure why the support would say something like that tho, AFAIK the module is not going anywhere.

And I do see it in a list

Hello, this seems to be a bug and some work is being done to get back the availability of the download. Thanks a lot for reaching the team across different channels about this problem 👍
