How Do I Export WooCommerce Orders to CSV?
How to Export WooCommerce Orders
The built-in export tool respects whatever filters are currently applied to the Orders list — a specific status, a date range, a search term — so narrowing the list first before clicking Export produces a file containing exactly the intended subset, rather than needing to export everything and filter afterward in a spreadsheet.
Things Worth Knowing
- The default export includes core order fields (order ID, date, status, customer details, totals, line items), which covers most accounting and reporting needs without additional configuration.
- Custom fields or meta data added by other plugins may not be included in the default export automatically, requiring either a more advanced export plugin or custom development to include them.
- Large exports (a very high order volume) may need to be done in date-range batches if the export process times out or produces an unwieldy single file.
- Third-party export/reporting plugins offer more advanced filtering and custom field inclusion if the built-in tool doesn't cover a specific need.
Running the Export
- Filter the Orders list to the specific date range or status needed before exporting.
- Click the Export button to generate and download the CSV.
- For custom fields not included by default, look into a dedicated export plugin or custom development.
