Will my customer passwords be transferred during WooCommerce migration?

Yes, there is an opportunity to migrate passwords from and to WooCommerce, providing that the store has default settings and no custom code modifications are included. Note: If your shopping cart has any modifications in password settings, we can not guarantee its accurate transfer.

For some pairs of shopping carts you will need to install Cart2Cart WooCommerce Passwords Migration Plugin.

Cart2Cart WooCommerce Passwords Migration Plugin allows to migrate customer passwords from PrestaShop, Magento and OpenCart to WooCommerce. It’s free to download and can be activated in a few simple steps before or after the migration.
