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.
  • WooCommerce export without a plugin
  • 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.

With Smart Manager, you can filter, customize, and export exactly the order data you need in just a few clicks.  

For example, imagine you want to review all refunded orders from Canada. Refunds are normal in eCommerce, but if they keep coming from a particular country, that’s a red flag worth investigating.  

Here’s how to do this:

Automate WooCommerce export orders

Sometimes you don’t just want a one-time export, you need your orders sent out regularly without lifting a finger.   

That’s where Smart Manager’s scheduling option helps.  

For example, say your accountant needs a list of all Completed orders every 30 days.   

Here’s how to set it up:

  • Go to Smart Manager > Orders dashboard.
  • Under Export CSV, click Schedule Export.
  • In the dialog, set:
    • Start time > today’s date.
    • Interval > every 30 days.
    • Email to > your accountant’s email address.
    • Order status filter > Completed
  • Automate WooCommerce export orders
  • Click Create.

Done. Smart Manager will now automatically generate and send the orders CSV every month.  

You can also manage multiple schedules with different intervals and recipients, so the right people always get the right data on time.

Export WooCommerce users and customers

Customer exports aren’t just spreadsheets, they’re the foundation of targeted marketing, loyalty rewards, and better engagement.   

By segmenting and exporting the right customers, you can run campaigns that actually connect.  

For example, you’re planning a 4th of July sale and only want to reach customers based in the US.   

Instead of scanning through orders one by one, Smart Manager makes it simple:

  • Go to Smart Manager > Users dashboard.
  • Open Advanced Search.
  • Set the filter: Billing Country > is > US.
  • Export WooCommerce users and customers
  • Once results load, select them and click Export CSV.

You now have a clean list of US customers ready for your Independence Day promotion.  

Not only this, you can also export customers by order count, lifetime spend, last purchase date, and more.

Export WordPress posts and pages

Exporting posts and pages can be handy for content audits, for example, to spot underperforming articles that don’t get much engagement.  
Let’s say you want to find all posts with comment count ≤ 5 so your team can review and improve them.   

Here’s how to do this:

  • Go to Smart Manager > Posts dashboard.
  • Click Advanced Search.
  • Set the filter: Comment Count > <= > 5.
  • Click Search, then Export CSV.

For example, you want to export all members in your Gold Membership plan so you can extend their benefits.   

Here’s how to do this:

  • Go to Smart Manager > Memberships dashboard.
  • Click Advanced Search.
