WooCommerce

Have an option to migrate all WooCommerce data from one website to another.

The use case is where a website with WooCommerce store is going to be redesigned and rebuild. During the rebuild, the store needs to remain online, and once the rebuild is completed, the data from the live store needs to be exported and then imported into the new website before it goes live.

There is no easy way to do this, because the WooCommerce data is partially located in the the standard WordPress tables (products are in posts, customers are in users, etc). Because of that, the standard export/import features don’t work. Migrator plugins don’t work eather, because they migrate the entire website, not just the WooCommerce part.

There is are (paid) plugins that can do it to a certain extend, but they do warn of possible issues because WP assigns new unique ID’s during the import process causing record relation issues. And then of course there may be issues caused by extensions.

It would be so much easier if ALL Woo data would fully live in their own tables.
