Overview

The WooCommerce Customer / Order / Coupon Export extension lets you export your site’s customers, orders, or coupons to a CSV or XML file. Here are a few of the features offered by this plugin to make it easier to manage your site’s data:

• Export customers, orders, or coupons, in CSV or XML format, individually or in bulk.
• Create your own custom formats to determine which fields are included and where they’re positioned.
• Automatically export and send your file to a remote server via FTP, HTTP POST, or email, such as to your fulfillment service.
• Exports run asynchronously in the background, meaning you can export thousands of records while you complete other tasks – or take a well-earned break!

Upgrade FAQs

Q: What if I’m unable to connect to WooCommerce.com? (For example, if your site sells CBD oil products.) A: You can still migrate! You’ll need a couple more steps, though:

1. Download the Customer / Order / Coupon Export plugin from your WooCommerce.com account (you will already have a new subscription for it).
2. Install this plugin under Plugins > Add New > Upload.
3. Activate this plugin.

Once this new, unified plugin is activated, it will handle migrating your settings automatically for you.

Q: What will happen to my XML Export plugin subscription? A: Your WooCommerce.com account was automatically gifted a new subscription for this plugin. Here’s how we handled the change:

• You have been gifted a subscription for this plugin that ends on the same date as your XML Export plugin subscription.
• If your XML Export subscription was set to auto-renew, we’ve turned it off, and enabled auto-renew on the new plugin subscription. If your subscription did not auto-renew, we’ve left it disabled.
• Your XML Export plugin subscription is still in your account for now, but it will end on its original date, and cannot be renewed again.

Q: What if the migration doesn’t go smoothly? A: The worst-case scenario is that we’re not able to migrate the plugin’s settings, and you would need to update them manually. This is a pretty foolproof process, though, that we have used for other plugin retirement migrations. Our support team is also happy to help out with any questions or migration concerns! 

Export data manually

You can export customers, orders, and coupons manually at any time. When you begin a bulk export or export items from the Orders or Users lists, a modal will appear to let you know the export is processing:If you leave this modal open while the export processes, you can download the file via that modal:However, since customer and order exports are processed asynchronously in the background on your site, you can feel free to close the modal or leave your site completely while the export runs. This lets you keep working while your export processes behind the scenes. Exports are batch-processed, which allows your site to process an export for thousands of records without timing out.If you leave the export modal, you can download the file from an admin notice that will appear when the export is ready or by going to WooCommerce > Exports > Export List, where we store exports for 14 days.
