== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need to install this plugin on both sites? =

Yes, the plugin must be installed and activated on both the source site (where you're copying orders from) and the destination site (where you're pasting orders to).

= What order data is copied? =

The plugin copies all order data including:
* Customer information (name, email, addresses)

* Shipping information

= 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.
