Switch from Users & Local business extensions to Memberships extension

Memberships​ extension is not compatible with the following extensions :
Users: Authentications, Community, User groups, chat
Local business: Loyalty card, Club card and Couponing

- To install the Memberships extension, if you have installed any of the extensions above, you must know you they will be deleted.
If you have set restrictions to access some sections of your app by user groups for instance, those restrictions won't be available anymore or if you have set a chat section, the chat won't be available if you install the Memberships extension. This applies to all extensions listed above.

- Existing users from the Authentication extension will be migrated to the new Memberships user profile system only when they registered with an email (Facebook, Twitter, and Sign in with Apple users won't be migrated to the new user profile system).

- Existing users using Facebook, Twitter, or Sign in with Apple will have to create a new user account once the app is updated to the stores.

We advise you to first export all your existing users,  couponing , and/or loyalty  data, so you can keep CSV files with all information before their removal.
