Export WooCommerce Settings

    How do I best copy my WooCommerce Store Settings from one WordPress install to another? Is there a suitable plugin or tool available?

    I understand that most of the data is stored under wp_options but I cannot find an article explaining how to import just the woocommerce data to another site without merging all data.

    I’m rebuilding the site from scratch using a new theme and do not wish to import most of the old data from wp_posts, wp_options, etc.

    For migrating the products, customers and orders I plan on using WP All Import/Export Pro. https://en-gb.ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wp-all-import/

    You could use that or a CSV import that you download from the Database. That’s also nice and easy.

    For the store settings? Could you elaborate a little?

    For everything really. Are you migrating everything or just settings on the dashboard?

    There are plugins out there that make exporting of product data easy.

    It’s more the General Setting I’m looking at migrating, i.e:-

    + Store Address
    + Currency options
    + Product options – General/Inventory
    + Tax options
    + Shipping zones
    + Payment methods
    + etc

    Basically whatever appears in the wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings page.

    I could copy these over manually as there are not really that many options – I simply cannot believe WooCommerce do not have this feature built into the core.

    Got it. I remember years ago we were discussing something like this on Github but I never saw it come to fruition. Let me ask some people.

    Hey there,

    WooCommerce indeed doesn’t have an option for exporting these kinds of settings. When you need to export them, you tend to be doing a full database export anyway – we recommend the WP All Export plugin, as you noted in your original post:

    If you’d like to see this added to WooCommerce, please do add it to the repository!

    Hi,

    Thanks. I was going to post but noticed this one already exists.

    https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/13089

    Someone posts to a plugin called Options-Importer but this is 5 years old and not tested with 3 Major WordPress versions.

    This is marked as closed but a seperate thread discusses a WC Settings API
