To export customers from WooCommerce, go to WPFactory > Export (also at WooCommerce > Settings > Export) in Export Products, Orders & Customers for WooCommerce. Export Customers lists registered accounts, and Export Customers from Orders lists everyone who bought, including guests. Both tools are free and download as CSV or XML.
Can WooCommerce export customers without a plugin? #
Partly. WooCommerce core lists customers under WooCommerce > Customers, and that report has a Download button that saves the list as a CSV file. It is limited to the columns in that report and has no XML option, so if you need to choose fields, export by user role or pull buyers from orders by date, use a dedicated export tool.
How to export WooCommerce customers to CSV or XML #
Pick the right customer tool #
| Tool | Reads from | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Export Customers | WordPress users table (registered accounts) | A list of registered users by role. |
| Export Customers from Orders | Orders, grouped by billing email | Everyone who bought, including guests, filtered by date. |
Run Export Customers (Free) #
- Go to WPFactory > Export (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Export) and open the Customers section.
- Select your fields in Export Customers Fields and click Save changes.
- Click Open Tool to reach the Export dashboard at WooCommerce > Export, then Download CSV or Download XML.
By default this exports the WooCommerce customer role. Changing the User Roles option to other roles is a Pro feature. This section has no date filter; use Customers from Orders if you need to filter by order date.
Run Export Customers from Orders (Free) #
- Open the Customers from Orders section.
- Select your fields, set a Date Filter if you want, and click Save changes.
- Use the section’s own Preview and Export buttons to download.
Choosing CSV or XML #
- CSV opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers. Best for lists and analysis.
- XML suits system-to-system imports. Set it with the section’s Download File Type option, or use the dashboard’s Download XML button.
What to do with the export #
- Segment your customers for targeted campaigns.
- Import into a CRM or email tool.
- Analyze purchase behavior and spot repeat buyers.
