Description
We are seeking an experienced WooCommerce professional to migrate a new website build into an existing WP Engine environment. The task involves ensuring a seamless transition without losing any customer data, orders, or active subscriptions, and preventing duplicate renewals. I’ve built a new WooCommerce website for a client on a temporary development domain (outside WP Engine). The client’s current live website is hosted on WP Engine and uses WooCommerce Subscriptions for recurring customer orders. I need an experienced WooCommerce professional to safely migrate the new build into the client’s existing WP Engine environment, replacing the current site without losing any customers, orders, or active subscriptions, and without triggering duplicate renewals. What needs to be done Pre-migration preparation: Check PHP, WooCommerce, and plugin versions on both sites for compatibility. Confirm whether HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) is enabled on the live site and match that setting on the new build. Add this constant to the new build so renewals don’t trigger before launch: define('WCS_IS_STAGING_SITE', true); Keep all payment gateways (e.g. Stripe, PayPal) in test or disabled mode until after go-live. Migrate the new build into WP Engine: Move all theme files, media uploads, and content from the dev site to the existing WP Engine environment. Ensure the new site is working correctly under a temporary URL or staging setup within WP Engine before swapping live. Sync dynamic e
