Official WooCommerce 9.6 brand migration tool. Transfer from Perfect Brands, YITH, or custom attributes with backup and image support.

## Why This Plugin?

**With WooCommerce 9.6 launching on January 20th, 2025, all stores will have the Brands feature enabled by default.** This creates a migration challenge for stores that already use brand attributes - your existing brand data won't automatically transfer to the new system.

Transfer Brands for WooCommerce provides the missing link that WooCommerce doesn't offer - a safe, reliable way to migrate all your existing brand attributes to the new WooCommerce 9.6 brand taxonomy without losing any data.

## Features

- **One-Click Switching** - Switch between brand sources without navigating to settings
- **Preview Transfer** - See exactly what will happen before starting
- **User-friendly Interface** - Intuitive admin interface with real-time progress
- **Universal Image Transfer** - Automatically transfers brand images from 30+ themes
- **Theme Compatibility** - Supports Woodmart, Porto, Flatsome, XStore, Electro, and more
- **Custom & Taxonomy Attributes** - Works with both custom and taxonomy-based brand attributes
- **Batch Processing** - Process products in batches to avoid timeouts on large stores
- **Backup System** - Built-in backup and rollback functionality
- **Analysis Tool** - Analyze brands before transfer to identify potential issues
- **HPOS Compatible** - Full compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage
- **ACF Support** - Works with Advanced Custom Fields brand images
- **Accessibility** - Full keyboard navigation and screen reader support

## Requirements

## Installation

1. Upload the `transfer-brands-for-woocommerce` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

## How It Works

The transfer process operates in three phases:

2. **Terms Transfer** - Creates or maps taxonomy terms with images
3. **Product Assignment** - Associates products with the new taxonomy terms

## Before You Transfer

1. Use the "Analyze Brands" function to check your data
2. Ensure you have a recent database backup
3. Test on a staging site if possible
4. Verify that the backup feature is enabled in settings
