Now, let’s consider the Advanced Import method, which offers more control with its advanced options. After selecting this method, upload the CSV file you just exported and choose a delimiter from the drop-down menu to separate the columns in the CSV file.
Then, click on the Map import columns button to proceed.

Once finalized, click Import to upload your WooCommerce products from the CSV file.
Once the import process is complete, all your WooCommerce products and their details will be successfully transferred to your new store, keeping your data intact and making the setup easier.
