Per Product Field Options
Developers
Product input fields data is saved as order meta. Here is a snippet which demonstrates how to get entered values with PHP:
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
foreach ( $order->get_items() as $item_key => $item ) {
foreach ( wc_get_order_item_meta( $item_key, '_alg_wc_pif_local' ) as $values ) {
echo $values['_value'];
}
}
This example is for “local input fields” (i.e. per product); for “global input fields” (i.e. all products) use _alg_wc_pif_global instead of _alg_wc_pif_local. If the type of the field is “file”, then it’s saved as an array, so, for example, to get the name of the file, you need to use $values['_value']['name'] (instead of $values['_value']).
Export
If you need to export the product input fields from orders to CSV or XML, we suggest using free Export WooCommerce plugin.

I’d like to clarify my review, since I can’t edit it I’ll add an additional review.
This plugin formats everything in tables. This doesn’t work for responsive designs. It takes a lot of css to get it to be mobile friendly. The options for dates and times are extremely limited. If you want to have time options from noon to five, for example, you have to find the timepicker javascript file, read jQuery documentation on it, then add in the minTime and maxTime variables.
That’s a lot of work to get a $60 plugin to work. Frankly, you are better off learning javascript and creating some custom code for your project.

This plugin is great if you can completely rewrite all of the jQuery strings that make it run. Otherwise it’s pretty much useless. Great idea, but abhorrent execution.
