How to migrate users from another wholesale plugin (e.g. Wholesale Suite)
Lots of store owners migrate to WooCommerce Wholesale Pro after previously using a different wholesale plugin, such as Wholesale Suite.
You can easily migrate your existing wholesale users to WooCommerce Wholesale Pro as follows:
- First, ensure that you have both WooCommerce Wholesale Pro and your original wholesale plugin installed and active.
- Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Wholesale → Roles and create a wholesale role which corresponds to a role from your previous plugin. Give it a unique name so that you can tell which is which while both plugins are active. (You can easily change this later.)
- Go to the main 'Users' page in the WordPress admin.
- Use the checkboxes on the left to select all the users for one of your original wholesale roles.
- Find the 'Change role to' dropdown above the list of users and select the new role that you created in Step 2, above. Click the 'Change' button.
- Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for each wholesale role.
- Finally, deactivate your old wholesale plugin.
Note: If you have too many existing wholesale users to easily migrate using the above method, then you could migrate them by writing a custom database query instead. This is a developer-level task and if you don't know how to do it then we'd be happy to provide a quote under our plugin customization service.
