How to Export Orders with WooCommerce

If you own an online store, you know how important it is to keep track of your orders and customers. Knowing where your orders are coming from and who your customers are can help you make more informed business decisions and better serve your customers. Fortunately, with WooCommerce, exporting orders is simple and straightforward. Let’s take a look at the process.

Step One: Log in to Your WordPress Dashboard

The first step is to log in to your WordPress dashboard using the username and password associated with your website. Once logged in, click on the “WooCommerce” tab located on the left-hand side of your dashboard.

Step Two: Export Your Orders

Once you have clicked on the “WooCommerce” tab, select “Orders” from the dropdown menu that appears. Then click on “Export” which will be located on the top right-hand corner of your screen. This will open up a pop-up window prompting you to choose an export format for your orders. Select either CSV or XML depending on what type of file you need for further use in another program or application such as Microsoft Excel or QuickBooks. Once selected, click “Generate CSV/XML File” located at the bottom of this window before hitting “Done” to return back to your dashboard.

Step Three: Download Your File

Now that you have generated an exportable file for your orders, it’s time to download it so that you have it saved onto your computer or device. To do this simply click on “Download Exported File” which is located beneath the “Export Orders” heading within WooCommerce (you may need to refresh the page if this doesn’t appear automatically). You should now find a file downloaded into a folder designated by whatever web browser or internet service provider you use—this folder should be easy enough for you to locate given its name (e.g., Chrome Downloads). Now open up this folder, select the file containing all of your exported orders, and save it wherever makes sense for future use!

Conclusion

Exporting orders from WooCommerce is incredibly easy! Just log in to WordPress dashboard, go into WooCommerce > Orders > Export > Generate CSV/XML File > Download Exported File; then save it wherever makes sense for future use! Once done correctly, exporting orders through WooCommerce provides website owners like yourself with valuable insights into customer purchase patterns which can help inform future decisions related to product offerings and customer service initiatives. It’s just one more great tool available through WooCommerce so why not give it a try? Good luck!
