Can WooCommerce Product and Order Data Be Migrated?
Product data, order history, and customer data can all be migrated — but each has a different structure, so each needs to be checked and handled separately rather than assumed to move together.
What can actually move
Product names, prices, stock, and images, along with past order history and customer account data, are all technically migratable. Card details themselves, held by the payment processor, are not — those never move.
Product data
Products often have variations (color, size) and related-product settings attached, which a simple list copy won't reproduce on its own.
Order history
The main reason to migrate order history is accounting continuity and customer support continuity — not restoring orders into the new cart as active transactions, but keeping them as reference data.
Customer data
Migrating account data requires care with passwords specifically. In most cases the password itself can't be carried over, and customers are prompted to reset it on first login instead.
The risk
Skipping a check of how variations and orders link back to customer records can leave orders on the books that no longer match any customer — a quiet inconsistency that's hard to spot until support runs into it.
Recommended next step
Before migrating, inventory the actual scale: product count, variation count, order count, member count. The free diagnostic includes sizing up the current WooCommerce data.
