# How to Export WooCommerce Order Items

To export a line-by-line breakdown of what was in each order, use the Orders Items section of [Export Products, Orders & Customers for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/export-woocommerce/). Each row is one item, with its order's context attached. This guide covers the setup.

### Step 1: choose your order-item fields

1. Go to **WPFactory > Export** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Export**).
2. Open the **Orders Items** section.
3. In **Export Orders Items Fields** (`alg_export_orders_items_fields`), select the fields you want, then click **Save changes**.

### What you can export

- **Order context** (repeated on every item row): order ID, number, status, date, time, currency, total, taxes, shipping total, payment method, and billing and shipping details.
- **Item details:** Item ID, name, SKU, Item Product Input Fields, Item Meta, Item Variation Meta, quantity, tax class, product ID, and variation ID.
- **Item money:** line subtotal, line total, line subtotal tax, line tax, and both "plus tax" combinations.

**Pro field:** **Backend Order Notes** is a Pro-only field here, the same as on the Orders section.

### Step 2: add custom item meta (optional)

The **Additional Export Orders Items Meta Fields** option (`alg_export_orders_items_fields_additional_total_number`, default 1) lets you add columns from meta keys. For each field you set **Enabled**, **Title**, a **Type** (**Order Meta** or **Product Meta**), and **Value** (the meta key). The free version allows one; Pro removes the limit.

### Step 3: run the export

Click **Open Tool** to go to the Export dashboard at **WooCommerce > Export**, pick a date range, and click **Download CSV** or **Download XML**.

### What this is good for

- Per-product sales analysis across many orders.
- Fulfillment and picking lists.
- Accounting exports that need per-line tax detail.

### Get more control

Order item export is free. [Export Products, Orders & Customers for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/export-woocommerce/) Pro adds the Backend Order Notes field and unlimited custom meta columns (order or product meta per line).
