One of the most vulnerable data of a user is their password. It is very important to safeguard it while migrating from one store to another. User passwords can be retained during import using the WordPress Users & WooCommerce Customers Import Export plugin by including the password column in the import file. The plugin supports both plain text and WordPress hashed passwords and ensures they are stored securely during the import process.
Hashed password
A hashed password is a password that is jumbled and irreversibly altered using an algorithm known as a hashing function. Hashing is the method of saving passwords in a database using representations of the real password characters. It cannot be converted to plain text easily.
Plain text password
A plain text password is a way of writing a password in a easy-to-read format. This password is not encrypted and is easily readable by both humans and machines.
Retain user password
To retains the user’s password on import:
- Navigate to WebToffee Import Export (Pro), after installing and activating the plugin .
- Click on Import and follow the steps in How to import users to get your site’s user data.
On successful import, the user’s passwords will be retained with utmost security.

Hi,
I have exported customers from my previous PrestaShop site into *.CSV file.
1) Does your plugin manage Presta > WP “password translate”? Passwords seem to be encrypted with different methods.
-Presta passwords are 32 chars long and consists only of a-z letters and 0-9 numbers.
-WP WooCommerce password are 34 chars long, begin always with $P$B and consists of various chars.
2) Does your plugin import transaction history for every customer?
a) order count
b) products and/or value for every order
3) Can I customize emails sent to customers?

Hi,
1. Sorry to say that the plugin does not support migrating passwords from other platform. The plugin only supports WordPress MD5 hashed passwords.
2. The transaction history/order count/product ordered data of the users are not stored along with the user details in the database. Hence the transaction data cannot be exported and imported using the plugin.
3. Yes, you can customize the email sent to the users. Here is the article regarding customising the email:
