Important notes:

• Posts and Terms Identification. During import, existing posts and terms are identified by their slugs. If a post or term with the same slug exists on the destination site, it will be updated rather than creating a duplicate entry. This applies to all supported post types and taxonomies.

• Migration Order. Terms (categories, tags etc.) should be migrated separately before posts. The plugin does not handle automatic term creation during post import to maintain data integrity.

• Shop Order Numbers. By default, WooCommerce uses post IDs as order numbers. During the import process, new post IDs will be created, leading to different order numbers. To preserve order numbers, ensure that both the source and destination sites use plugin or configuration that do not depend on post IDs for order numbering.

• Downloadable Products. Downloadable files linked to Products can only be migrated if they are hosted on the source domain and accessible via direct URLs. Files that are protected or stored outside the source domain cannot be transferred.
