Data runs every WooCommerce store.
Products, orders, customers, coupons, every click and purchase creates information you’ll eventually need outside your dashboard. Maybe it’s for accounting, maybe for marketing, maybe just to keep your records clean.
And here’s the truth: exporting that data should be simple, but in WooCommerce it rarely feels that way.
You either end up with CSVs full of gaps, fields you don’t need, or hours wasted trying to clean and filter spreadsheets.
WooCommerce exports aren’t just about “getting data out.” They’re about making your store manageable, reporting accurate, and growth decisions faster.
In this guide, we’ll go step by step through WooCommerce’s default export options, what you can and can’t export, and then explore a smarter way to handle everything from products to orders to memberships without the usual CSV chaos.
How to export in WooCommerce without a plugin?
WooCommerce core only gives you a basic product exporter. If all you need is a quick CSV of products, it works fine.
Here’s how to export all of your products:
- Go to
WordPress Admin > WooCommerce > Products
. - At the top, click
Export
. - Choose which columns (fields) you want to export.
- Select product types (simple, variable, grouped) and product categories and custom meta, if needed.
- Click
Generate CSV
.
This will give you a spreadsheet with product data like name, SKU, price, stock, categories, and tags.
For orders, customers, or users, WooCommerce doesn’t provide a built-in CSV exporter. The only option in core is through WordPress Tools > Export
, which generates an XML file.
You can export things like:
- Orders
- Customers (users)
- Posts, pages, or custom post types
But XML exports are mainly for site migration or backups, they’re not practical if you just want a clean spreadsheet for analysis or campaigns.
Basically, you can use WooCommerce default options to export product only for small stores, and having a very small product catalog.
But as soon as you need variations, filtered lists, recurring exports, or third-party data, the cracks start to show.
That’s where Smart Manager comes in, giving you flexible, powerful export options that go way beyond basic CSVs.
