Will migrating to Asteris Cart affect my existing orders?

No. Your orders live in WooCommerce, not in the plugin. Asteris Cart reads orders through HPOS-compatible APIs, so switching plugins does not move or rewrite order data. Back up before any change as standard practice.

Does Asteris Cart replace everything my current plugin does?

Not always. Asteris Cart does not build funnel pages or run email automation, and some features such as order bumps arrive in a later version. Each guide lists what has no v1.0 equivalent.

Can I roll back if something goes wrong?

Yes. Asteris Cart has a Safe Mode that stops it touching the storefront, restoring vanilla WooCommerce while you investigate. Keep your previous plugin installed until you have verified the switch.

Switching to Asteris Cart — migrate safely

Migrating to Asteris Cart is a settings change, not a data migration — your orders and products stay in WooCommerce, and Asteris Cart reads orders through HPOS-compatible APIs. The safe path is the same for any plugin you are leaving: back up the database, install Asteris Cart in Safe Mode, configure and test on staging, then deactivate the old plugin and verify. Keep the previous plugin installed until the switch is confirmed. Each guide below also names what Asteris Cart does not yet replace.

Migration philosophy

Asteris Cart does not import or rewrite your store data. Your products, orders and customers stay in WooCommerce. What you are moving is configuration — which cart and checkout behaviours are active, and how they are set. That makes migration lower-risk than a data migration, provided you back up and test first.

It also means honesty about scope. Asteris Cart does not build funnel pages and does not run email or SMS automation. Some features — order bumps, post-purchase upsells, abandoned-cart recovery — arrive in later versions, not v1.0. Where your current plugin does something Asteris Cart does not yet do, each guide says so plainly rather than pretending otherwise.

The safe path (every migration)

Back up the database and files. Non-negotiable before any plugin change.
Work on staging first if you have one. If not, choose a low-traffic window.
Install Asteris Cart and enable Safe Mode so it does not touch the storefront yet.
Configure the modules that replace your current plugin’s features.
Disable Safe Mode and test checkout end to end — a real test order through your live gateway in test mode.
Deactivate the old plugin once you have confirmed the replacement works.
Keep the old plugin installed (deactivated) until you are certain. Safe Mode and the retained plugin are your two rollback paths.
