Products export from their own section, while orders, order items, and customers run from the dashboard at WooCommerce > Export, as CSV or XML. [![Export Products, Orders and Customers for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/Products-Order-Customers-Export-for-WooCommerce-1024x333.webp)](https://wpfactory.com/item/export-woocommerce/) ### Step 1: install the plugin Download Export WooCommerce from your [WPFactory](https://wpfactory.com/) account (or install the free version from WordPress.org) and activate it on your site. ![Installing Export WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-export-WooCommerce-products-Step1-1024x724.webp) ### Step 2: open the settings Once activated, go to **WPFactory > Export** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Export**). This is where you choose what to export. To run an export for orders, order items, or customers you will also use the dashboard at **WooCommerce > Export**. ### Step 3: General options The **General** section controls how every file is written: - **CSV Separator:** the character between columns. A comma is the default; change it to a semicolon for some locales. - **CSV Wrap:** a character that wraps each value, for example a double quote. - **UTF-8 BOM:** adds a byte order mark so spreadsheet apps detect UTF-8 and show accented characters correctly. - **Content Length Header:** sends the Content-Length header with CSV and XML downloads. Turn it off if a download never finishes. - **User Capability:** the capability required to export. Default `manage_options` (administrators); set `manage_woocommerce` to include shop managers. ![Export WooCommerce General options](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-export-WooCommerce-products-Step3-1024x495.png) ### Step 4: Secondary Separators These define the character used inside a single column when it holds several values (for example, several order items in one cell, or a value and its label). ![Export WooCommerce secondary separators](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-export-WooCommerce-products-Step4-1024x495.png) ### Step 5: Advanced options - **Block Size:** the number of items processed per iteration (not bytes). The default is 1024. Lower it if large exports run out of memory. - **Time Limit:** the maximum export time in seconds. `-1` means the option is ignored and the server default is used; `0` means no time limit. - **Ajax Download:** downloads high-volume data in the background. It currently applies to the Product CSV export only. - **Confirm HPOS enabled:** enable this if your store uses High-Performance Order Storage and no orders show up in the export. ![Export WooCommerce advanced options](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-export-WooCommerce-products-Step5-1024x495.png) ### Step 6: Export Products Open the **Products** section, select the fields you want on the left, and move them to the sortable list on the right to set the column order. Click **Save changes**, then use **Preview** or **Export** right on this screen. ![Export WooCommerce product fields](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-export-WooCommerce-products-Step6-1024x495.png) #### Additional Export Products Meta Fields Add columns from custom fields (product meta keys). The free version allows one; Pro removes the limit. ![Export WooCommerce additional meta fields](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-export-WooCommerce-products-Step62-1024x495.png) #### Export Products Filter Options Filter the export by date, from Today through Last 36 months, or a custom range. ![Export WooCommerce product date filter](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-export-WooCommerce-products-Step63-1024x495.png) ### Step 7: Orders Choose the fields to include when exporting orders, then save.

By default this exports the WooCommerce customer role. ![Export WooCommerce customers](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-export-WooCommerce-products-Step9-1024x495.png) ### Step 10: Customers from Orders Export buyers extracted from orders and identified by billing email, so guest checkouts are included. This section has its own date filter and its own Export button. ![Export WooCommerce customers from orders](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-export-WooCommerce-products-Step10-1024x495.png) ### Final thoughts With your fields chosen and options set, you can export any part of your store to CSV or XML whenever you need it, ready to analyze in a spreadsheet or hand off to another system. ### Get more from your exports Every export tool is free.
