Improvements and adjustments

View changes in the compilation in the metapackage: https://github.com/OXID-eSales/oxideshop_metapackage_ce/compare/v6.4.3…v6.5.0.

Breaking Changes

The previous Amazon Pay module Amazon Pay & Login for OXID eShop (see https://github.com/bestit/amazon-pay-oxid) is no longer part of the compilation.

We replace it with a new module Amazon Pay for OXID for payment and checkout with Amazon.

If you use Amazon Pay & Login for OXID eShop, run it in parallel together with Amazon Pay for OXID temporarily before updating to OXID eShop 6.5.
Parallel operation is necessary until all old orders are completed that were still made with Amazon Pay & Login for OXID eShop.

Do the following:

1. If you have OXID 6.0 or earlier, make an update to OXID eShop version 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3.
   Background: Parallel operation is possible only in OXID 6.1 to OXID 6.3 versions.

2. Install and configure Amazon Pay for OXID.
   For more information, see https://docs.oxid-esales.com/modules/amazon-pay/en/latest/index.html.

3. Schedule a downtime for your OXID eShop and do the following:

   • Enable Amazon Pay for OXID for live operation.

   • Disable all payment methods that belong to Amazon Pay & Login for OXID eShop.

   Result: Your customers will process future payments with Amazon Pay for OXID.
   You can still monitor payments for old orders with Amazon Pay & Login for OXID eShop.

4. Once all old orders are processed, do the following:

   1. Disable Amazon Pay & Login for OXID eShop.

   2. Perform the update to OXID eShop 6.5.
