For CSV migrations, this step is crucial. You will map the fields from your source CSV file to the corresponding fields in your WooCommerce store. This includes mapping required fields, additional fields, and product attributes. You can also map customer groups and order statuses.

This app performs greatly. The service is very reliable and the support is superb. The service is quite costly for me but in the end, it's worth its money. There is also an automated shopping cart migration and I'm very happy about that! I'm really satisfied.
