<h4>Official WooCommerce 9.6 Brand Migration Tool</h4>
<p><strong>With WooCommerce 9.6 launching on January 20th, 2025, all stores will have the Brands feature enabled by default.</strong> This creates a migration challenge for stores that already use brand attributes – your existing brand data won’t automatically transfer to the new system.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Unlike manual migration that risks data loss, our plugin:<br />
* Preserves all brand relationships and hierarchies<br />
* Transfers brand images automatically<br />
* Provides complete backup and rollback functionality<br />
* Shows real-time progress with detailed statistics<br />
* Handles stores of any size with batch processing</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>

<li><strong>Universal Image Transfer</strong>: Automatically detects and transfers brand images from 30+ different themes including Woodmart, Porto, Flatsome, XStore, Electro, and more.</li>
<li><strong>Theme Compatibility</strong>: Full support for popular WooCommerce themes – your brand images will transfer regardless of which theme you use.</li>
<li><strong>Custom and Taxonomy Attribute Support</strong>: Works with both custom and taxonomy-based brand attributes.</li>
<li><strong>Batch Processing</strong>: Process products in batches to avoid timeouts on large stores.</li>
<li><strong>Backup System</strong>: Built-in backup and rollback functionality for risk-free transfers.</li>
<li><strong>Analysis Tool</strong>: Analyze your brands before transfer to identify potential issues.</li>
<li><strong>WooCommerce Integration</strong>: Automatically uses the brand permalink settings from WooCommerce.</li>
<li><strong>HPOS Compatible</strong>: Fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage.</li>

<h3>Additional Information</h3>
<h4>How to test before transferring</h4>

<li>Ensuring you have a recent database backup</li>
<li>Testing on a staging site if possible</li>
<li>Verifying that the backup feature is enabled in settings</li>
</ol>
<h4>Transfer Process</h4>
<p>The transfer process operates in three phases:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Backup</strong>: Creates a backup of existing brand data</li>
<li><strong>Terms Transfer</strong>: Creates or maps taxonomy terms</li>
<li><strong>Product Assignment</strong>: Associates products with the new taxonomy terms</li>
</ol>
<h4>After Transfer</h4>
<p>After completing a transfer, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Keep both the old attribute and new taxonomy (default)</li>
<li>Remove the old brand attribute data (optional)</li>
<li>Further customize your brand taxonomy</li>
</ul>
