How to migrate from FunnelKit to Asteris Cart

To migrate from FunnelKit (formerly WooFunnels) to Asteris Cart: back up, separate your checkout features from FunnelKit's funnel and automation features, install Asteris Cart in Safe Mode, configure the replacing modules, test, then deactivate FunnelKit once confirmed. Orders stay in WooCommerce throughout. The key gap to weigh first: Asteris Cart does not run email or SMS automation and does not build funnel pages, so if you depend on FunnelKit Automations, keep FunnelKit for that or use a dedicated tool.

Before you start

Back up the database and files.
Use staging if available, otherwise a low-traffic window.
WooFunnels and FunnelKit are the same product now — this guide covers both.
Keep FunnelKit installed until the switch is confirmed.

What does not have a v1.0 equivalent

Email and SMS automation (FunnelKit Automations) — Asteris Cart does not do marketing automation. Keep FunnelKit, or move automation to a dedicated tool.
Funnel pages — Asteris Cart does not build them.
Order bumps / post-purchase upsells — Asteris Cart v1.2, not v1.0.

Migrate the checkout to Asteris Cart; keep a separate tool for automation if you need it.

Step by step

Back up the database and files.
Audit FunnelKit. Separate checkout features (migrate these) from funnel and automation features (these stay).
Install Asteris Cart and enable Safe Mode.
Configure the replacing checkout modules.
Disable Safe Mode and run a full test order on staging or in a low-traffic window. Confirm completion and pixel events.
Deactivate FunnelKit only after confirming the checkout works. If you kept FunnelKit Automations running, leave that part active.
Verify over a day or two. Roll back via Safe Mode or by reactivating FunnelKit.

In-progress orders

Orders remain in WooCommerce; deactivating FunnelKit does not move them. Asteris Cart reads orders through HPOS-compatible APIs. If FunnelKit stored custom order meta for its automation or reporting, note those keys before deactivating.
