Optimized MK Order Porter for WooCommerce lets you move orders between WooCommerce stores without losing any data. It captures every order meta field — including shipping carrier labels (Econt, Speedy, DHL, etc.), data added by third-party plugins, and custom fields.
Key features
- Complete order export — billing, shipping, line items, fees, coupons, notes, and all custom meta
- Selective export — choose which field groups to include per export
- Date range + status filters — export only the orders you need
- Batch import with progress bar — processes orders in small batches so it never times out, even for thousands of orders
- Smart duplicate detection — matches imported orders by their source ID; choose to skip or update existing orders
- Product matching by SKU — links line items to the correct product on the target site even if product IDs differ
- HPOS compatible — fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage
- Multisite compatible — works as a single-site or network-activated plugin
- JSON format — handles nested order data (meta arrays, line item meta) that CSV cannot represent cleanly
How it works
- Install and activate on both the source and target site
- On the source site go to WooCommerce → Order Porter → Export, choose your filters and download the JSON file
- On the target site go to WooCommerce → Order Porter → Import, upload the file and click Start Import
- Watch the live progress log — each order shows as Created, Skipped, Updated, or Error
Why not CSV?
Orders contain nested data: each order has multiple line items, each line item has its own meta, shipping lines have their own meta, etc. JSON preserves this structure exactly. CSV flattens it, which means you either lose data or end up with an unwieldy number of columns.
HPOS support
This plugin uses WooCommerce’s order data store API (wc_get_orders, WC_Order, wc_create_order) throughout — it never queries wp_posts or wp_postmeta directly, making it fully compatible with High-Performance Order Storage on both source and target sites.

If Order Porter has saved you time, consider buying us a coffee — it helps us keep the plugin free and maintained.
Yes. Activate the plugin on the specific subsite you want to import into, then go to that subsite’s WooCommerce → Order Porter page.
The order is still created with the correct name, quantity, and pricing. The plugin first tries to match products by SKU, then by ID. If no match is found, the line item is recorded with its name and totals but without a product link.
No. Each imported order is tagged with _opwc_source_id. On subsequent imports the plugin detects existing orders and either skips or updates them depending on your choice.
Lower the Batch size setting (try 5 or even 1). The plugin processes orders in separate AJAX requests so each request handles a small number of orders and cannot time out the page. If a single order causes a fatal error, the error message will appear in the log.
Yes — tick All custom meta in the export options. This captures every key/value pair stored on the order, regardless of which plugin added it.
The JSON format is specific to Order Porter (it includes extra tracking fields like _opwc_source_id). It is not the same as the WooCommerce REST API response format.
