Upgrading to the latest available version of Zen Cart is important for many reasons. Being the performance of your store the most important. By not upgrading your store you might miss out on new features and fixes that the platform receives on each upgrade. Not to mention that if you fall behind a few releases, your may end up running your store on a version of Zen Cart that is no longer supported. Meaning that the platform is so old that it becomes more trouble to try to fix problems than it would be to upgrade.
Another important point is the security patches and updates that come with new versions of Zen Cart. As hackers and thieves develop new strategies of gaining access to your website, it becomes extremely important that web store owners operate their sites with the best security practices available in order to protect themselves and their customers.
As a storeowner, this is your responsibility. The good news is, it doesn't have to be your job - you can hire me!
