    Hello,

    I’m very newbie and I would like to ask you the best solution to export the WooCommerce Product and Orders from SITE A to SITE B

    I mean, I have the main SITA A. And, for example, I have also a SITE B, on different hosting, with theme etc…
    If something will happen to my SITE A (attach, virus, etc…), how can I move all my orders, clients, product to a SITE B, without lose my old order/product/customers login history?

    If it’s possible, I don’t want nothing too complicated )^__^(
    Thank you =)

    You can backup your website, generally it’s possible by your hosting provider painel, but here you can find a few tips: https://woocommerce.com/posts/create-use-backups-woocommerce/

    Yes, I know how to make a full backup (I use Duplicator and it works great).

    But, if I want to move only the WooCommerce database (Orders and Products) frome SITE A to SITE B, without to lose my old history, what can I do? ^_^

    In that link, in the 2017, Jennifer asked:

    “I was hoping this was a post about how to back up the woo commerce store and orders SEPARATE from your wordpress site. Not sure if this is possible. Frequently we want to do a facelift on a site or move a site and there will be orders during the time we are working on the site. I would like to treat WP and WooCommerce separately. Is this possible???”

    and the Kat’s answer was:

    “Hi Jennifer, according to our devs, it’s possible to do this but it’s a lot of trouble and requires advanced technical knowledge. There’d have to be extenuating circumstances to undertake this task. Plus WooCommerce is built on WordPress, and they’re connected. Our recommendation is to back up the entire site.”

    Maybe, now, in the 2019, sothing is change.

    What do you think?

    Hey there again!

    This is correct. It is technically possible to separate the data out after a full export, and only import the WooCommerce data. With the way that the data is stored and handled in WordPress, it’s not really going to be feasible without some extensive knowledge of database structures in WordPress and WooCommerce, and then how to manipulate the date
