 * Hello,
 * My website was having WooCommerce 2.5.5 with a customized code for payment gateway
   integration. It was working fine with no problems.
 * Once I upgrade to WooCommerce 2.6, the code has been erased .
 * Allow me please to inquire about the following:
 * 1- If I use child them, can the payment gateway integration code be erased once
   more? Or it will be permanent? Any references for this if it works?
 * 2- If I just restored an old backup with WooCommere 2.5.5 and force not to upgrade
   woocommerce, can this cause severe problems?
 * 3- Should I have to re-integrate API integration each time I upgrade WooCommerce?
 * 4- What do you suggest to integrate payment APIs with WooCommerce “rather than
   creating a plugin”?
 * I’m a newbie, so, most of the following questions will be stupid to you.
 * Thanks for your time.
 * Kind Regards..

 * You need to create a plugin to keep your code safe from plugin and theme updates.
   If you need someone to do this, use jobs.wordpress.net
