Official WooCommerce 9.6 Brand Migration Tool

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 (both taxonomy-based and custom) to the new WooCommerce 9.6 brand taxonomy without losing any data.

Unlike manual migration that risks data loss, our plugin:
* Preserves all brand relationships and hierarchies
* Transfers brand images automatically
* Provides complete backup and rollback functionality
* Shows real-time progress with detailed statistics
* Handles stores of any size with batch processing

Transfer Brands Enhanced for WooCommerce is a powerful tool that simplifies the process of migrating your product brand attributes to a dedicated product_brand taxonomy. This is particularly useful for store owners who want to improve their brand management and enhance storefront navigation.

Key Features

User-friendly Interface: With an intuitive admin interface showing real-time progress during transfers.
Universal Image Transfer: Automatically detects and transfers brand images from 30+ different themes including Woodmart, Porto, Flatsome, XStore, Electro, and more.
Theme Compatibility: Full support for popular WooCommerce themes – your brand images will transfer regardless of which theme you use.
Custom and Taxonomy Attribute Support: 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 for risk-free transfers.
Analysis Tool: Analyze your brands before transfer to identify potential issues.
WooCommerce Integration: Automatically uses the brand permalink settings from WooCommerce.
HPOS Compatible: Fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage.
ACF Support: Works with Advanced Custom Fields brand images.
Detailed Logging: Comprehensive logging for troubleshooting (in debug mode).

Use Cases

You want to migrate your brand attributes to prepare for WooCommerce 9.6 update
You need to replace an existing brand attribute with a proper taxonomy for better store organization
You want to improve your store’s SEO by using proper brand taxonomy pages
You need to implement brand filtering on your shop pages
You want to consolidate different brand attributes into a single taxonomy

Why Use a Brand Taxonomy?

Converting your brand attributes to a taxonomy offers several advantages:

Better SEO with dedicated brand archive pages
Enhanced filtering options in your store
Simplified brand management
Ability to add additional brand metadata (like logos, descriptions, etc.)

Additional Information

How to test before transferring

Before running a full transfer, we recommend:

Using the „Analyze Brands“ function to check your data
Ensuring you have a recent database backup
Testing on a staging site if possible
Verifying that the backup feature is enabled in settings

Transfer Process

The transfer process operates in three phases:

Backup: Creates a backup of existing brand data
Terms Transfer: Creates or maps taxonomy terms
Product Assignment: Associates products with the new taxonomy terms

After Transfer

After completing a transfer, you can:

Keep both the old attribute and new taxonomy (default)
Remove the old brand attribute data (optional)
Further customize your brand taxonomy

How does this plugin help with WooCommerce 9.6 migration?: WooCommerce 9.6 (releasing January 20th, 2025) will enable Brands as a core feature for all stores. However, it doesn’t provide any migration tool for existing brand attributes. Our plugin fills this gap by safely transferring all your existing brand data (including images) to the new system with complete backup protection.
Will I lose my existing brand data when updating to WooCommerce 9.6?: Without a migration solution, your existing brand attributes will remain separate from the new WooCommerce Brands system. You would need to manually recreate all your brands and reassign them to products. Our plugin automates this process safely with full backup options.
Is this plugin compatible with WooCommerce 9.6?: Yes! This plugin is specifically designed to work with WooCommerce 9.6’s new brand taxonomy structure. We’ve thoroughly tested it for compatibility with both the current and upcoming WooCommerce releases.
Is this plugin compatible with the latest WooCommerce version?: Yes, this plugin is regularly tested with the latest versions of WooCommerce.
Will this plugin delete my existing brand data?: No, the plugin creates a backup of your data before making any changes. You can roll back the changes if needed. Additionally, the original attribute data is left untouched until you explicitly choose to delete it.
How long will the transfer process take?: The time depends on the number of products and brands in your store. The plugin processes products in configurable batches to prevent timeouts, and displays progress in real-time.
Can I customize which brand attribute is transferred?: Yes, you can configure the source attribute in the plugin settings page. The destination taxonomy is automatically set to match your WooCommerce permalink settings.
Will this plugin work with my custom brand attribute?: Yes, the plugin supports both taxonomy-based and custom product attributes as the source for brands.
What if I have multiple brand attributes?: Currently, the plugin transfers one attribute at a time. You can run multiple transfers if needed.
How can I troubleshoot issues?: Enable debug mode in the plugin settings to access detailed logs, which can help identify and resolve issues.
Can I migrate from Perfect Brands for WooCommerce?: Yes! Transfer Brands fully supports migrating from Perfect Brands for WooCommerce (pwb-brand taxonomy). Simply select „Perfect Brands“ from the source dropdown and your brands, including images, will be transferred to WooCommerce’s built-in Brands taxonomy.
Can I migrate from YITH WooCommerce Brands?: Yes! The plugin supports YITH WooCommerce Brands (yith_product_brand taxonomy). Select it as your source and transfer all your brand data to WooCommerce Brands with one click.
What happens to my Perfect Brands or YITH data after migration?: Your original data remains untouched until you explicitly choose to delete it. The plugin creates a full backup before any transfer, and you can rollback at any time if needed.
