    Hi, I am trying to import the exported file and I am receiving the same errors as others who had posted “Importing Order(ID) conflicts with an existing post” and your response was to “Please try deleting/unmapping the ID column and try importing so that a new ID will be assigned.”

    If I delete the “order_id” column when it imports the file the order number is then changed to the next available order number. The order #’s, as you know are important and are used in various accounting areas and customer service, it needs to be the same as what was exported. How can this be corrected?

    I am still trying to find a work around so that I can get the orders imported, but so far, no luck.

      Hello Mish,

      Thanks for reaching out. By importing the order as a new item, the order number will be affected, as the order number depends on the order ID in WooCommerce. By default, in WooCommerce, the order number is auto-generated from the order ID. Whatever the order ID is, it will be used as the order number. If you are required to retain the order number, you may try using our sequential order number plugin to import order numbers from the CSV file. You may please install the sequential order number plugin and then import the orders from the CSV file to retain the order numbers.

      Hi Rao Adnan,
      Thank you for reaching out.
      This message you received typically occurs when the user account does not have administrator or shop manager user roles. By default, only these user roles have permission to access the plugin. Could you please confirm if you have any of the above-mentioned user roles?
      If you are unable to access the plugin even after logging in as an administrator or shop manager, then kindly reach out to us via support.

    Hi Team,

    Presale question:

    We did order migration using free version. While importing we got order id conflct issue .

    Warning:

    If we use premium version will it be solved ? Migration can be done without any conflict?

      Hi,
      In the premium version plugin, there is an option to assign new IDs if there are any ID conflicts during import. You can also unmap/delete the ID column during import to overcome the ID conflict. WordPress will automatically assign the next available ID to the imported post.

      Hi,

      If you are using any third-party plugin to create custom data fields to products it will be stored as metadata. You may please export the product with the option Hidden meta checked in the export mapping and the custom metadata fields will be included in the exported CSV. Later on, you can use the same exported CSV as a template to import data back.

        “the option Hidden meta checked in the export mapping”

        This looks to be a paid option only.
