How to Export WordPress eCommerce Products to a New Blog
WordPress is a free, highly customizable, PHP-based publishing platform that is used to create blogs. One way to customize WordPress is by installing plug-ins that allow you to add additional features to your blog. WP e-Commerce, a free shopping cart plug-in, enables you to set up an online shop where customers can purchase products. When you want to move to a new WordPress-powered blog, export and move your e-Commerce shop and products along with the rest of your WordPress files by using the Export and Import tools in WordPress.
