Last updated on January 12, 2023 @ 6:22 pm

Are you looking to move your WooCommerce products to a new site? Maybe you’re just wanting to create a backup of your current products.

Either way, you’ll need to export your products from WooCommerce to a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file. CSV files can be opened in most spreadsheet programs, like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, etc. Keep reading to learn how to export your WooCommerce products to a CSV file.

There are two ways that you can export your WooCommerce products to a CSV file. The first way is by using a plugin, and the second way is by using the WooCommerce built-in export tool. We’ll cover both methods in this article.

Method 1: Export Products Using a Plugin

There are quite a few plugins available that will allow you to export your WooCommerce products to a CSV file. For this example, we’ll be using the Export Product for WooCommerce plugin.

Once you’ve installed and activated the plugin, head over to WooCommerce > Tools > Export Products. On this page, you’ll be able to choose which product fields you want to export and which type of file you want to export as. For our purposes, we’ll choose CSV as the file type.

That’s it! Once you click the “Export” button, the plugin will generate a CSV file of your products which you can then download and use as needed.

Method 2: Export Products Using the Built-in Export Tool

If you don’t want to use a plugin, or if you’re just looking for a more lightweight solution, then you can use the built-in export tool that comes with WooCommerce. Head over to WooCommerce > System Status > Tools.

On this page, scroll down to the “Exports” section and select “Products”. You can then choose which product fields you want to export and which type of file you want to export as.

And that’s it! Once you click the “Export”> button, WooCommerce will generate a CSV file of your products which you can then download and use as needed.

Conclusion:

Exporting your WooCommerce products is simple whether or not you use plugins.

If you’re looking for an easy way to export your products, then we recommend using one of the many plugins available. If you’re looking for a more lightweight solution, then you can use the built-in export tool that comes with WooCommerce.

PRO TIP: When exporting WooCommerce products to a CSV file, it is important to ensure that all products are correctly formatted and free of any errors. Otherwise, the CSV file may not be accepted by the receiving system.
