The plugin copies all order data including: - Customer information (name, email, addresses) - All order items and quantities - Pricing and totals - Shipping information - Tax details - Order status and dates - Custom order meta data - Order notes ### Will this work with custom order fields? Yes, the plugin copies all order meta data, including custom fields added by other plugins or themes. ### Can I copy orders between different WooCommerce versions? The plugin works best when both sites are running similar versions of WooCommerce. While it may work across different versions, we recommend keeping both sites updated for optimal compatibility. ### Is the transfer secure? Yes, the order data is transferred using secure JSON format. However, you should always ensure you're copying data between trusted sites and avoid sharing the JSON data with unauthorized parties. ### What happens if a product doesn't exist on the destination site? If a product from the copied order doesn't exist on the destination site, the plugin will create a placeholder product to maintain order integrity. ## Development This plugin is built using WordPress's [JS Tooling](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/packages/packages-scripts/), [PHP_CodeSniffer](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer), and [PHPStan](https://phpstan.org/).
