Making edits directly to your store's database is outside the scope of our technical support. So, be careful, because if you perform an action with a database user account that you create that breaks your store, we may not be able to help fix it!

The database that operates your Modular Merchant store is usually prefixed by either "mm2_" or "mm4_". (For example, if your account name is "mystore", then the database would be named "mm4_mystore".)

It is not recommended that tables in the store's database be added to, removed from or altered. Doing so could cause irreversible damage to the store.

If you must add tables to your store's database, it's highly recommended that you prefix the table names with an underscore. (For example: _mytable) This is because the shopping cart software adds tables to the store's database from time to time, and if a table with the same name already exists, there'll be trouble. However, since no tables created by the cart will start with an underscore, using one as a prefix to any tables you add to the store's database should prevent there being any "namespace" conflicts in future updates.

Be extremely careful when editing your store's database. Changes made to the store data are permanent. If data is altered or deleted, it is gone forever!
