Can I preserve order IDs whilst migrating to WooCommerce?

Yes, Cart2Cart, a leading data migration service, allows merchants to preserve order IDs when performing a migration to or from WooCommerce. This ensures continuity and simplifies order tracking within your new or existing WooCommerce store. To enable this feature, select the Preserve order IDs on the Target Store option during the Migration Wizard setup. This option is only available if the free WooCommerce Sequential Order Number plugin is installed on your target WooCommerce store.

After the migration, each of your order IDs will receive an additional unique order number to prevent conflicts with existing post IDs in WooCommerce. This additional number will be visible in your WooCommerce admin panel but will not affect your original system order ID, which is included in the order's URL.

If you forget to install the plugin before starting the data migration but have already selected the "Preserve order IDs" option, you can still install the plugin afterward. The order IDs will be preserved during the migration process.
