Does the import plugin and this code snippet allow to import woocommerce bookings order from an Excel file with data that came from another site that was not using woocommerce bookings? How do I map the booking date, start time, and end time with the importer?

  Hello Alejandro,
  
  Thanks for reaching out. The plugin is compatible with WooCommerce Bookings app. For other apps, you need to map them manually. For this you can do a sample export, and from that CSV you can learn about the exact column names. Later, import the file by correctly mapping the column names.

Does this code snippet require the premium plugin in order to bring in the booking data?

  Hi,
  
  If the data created using the Woocommerce Accommodation Booking plugin is stored along with the order details in the database then it can be exported and imported using the plugin.
