Whether you’re backing up your catalog, feeding a channel, or handing a supplier a price list, Store Exporter Deluxe lets you export exactly the product data you need, in the format you need it, straight from your WordPress admin.
This article covers a one-off Quick Export of your products. If you need the same export to run automatically on a schedule, see How to schedule exports instead.
Prerequisites
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Plugin | Store Exporter Deluxe is active and licensed |
| WooCommerce | Active, with at least one product to export |
| Administrator access | You’ll need an account with access to the WordPress admin dashboard |
Where to find Quick Export
Open WooCommerce → Store Export from the WordPress admin menu. This opens the Store Exporter Deluxe dashboard. Click the Quick Export button near the top of the sidebar to start a new export.
Step 1: Choose what to export
On the Select Export Type step, choose the Products tile. Each tile shows a live count of the matching records in your store, so you can confirm you’re exporting from the right data set before continuing.
Step 2: Select your export fields
On the Export Fields step, the fields you’ll export appear as chips. Common fields include:
- Product Name, SKU
- Regular Price and Sale Price
- Stock Quantity and Stock Status
- Categories and Tags
- Featured Image and Product Gallery
- Description and Short Description
- Click the Add more fields tile to open the field picker and add any field not already included.
- Click the pencil icon on a chip (or double-click it) to rename that column’s header without changing the underlying data.
- Click the X on a chip to remove that field from the export.
- Use Reset to Default to discard your changes and start over with the default field set.
Custom fields: the plugin can include custom product meta and custom product attributes, but it doesn’t auto-detect them. Add the exact meta key or attribute name as free text in the relevant field on this step.
Step 3: Filter and sort your export
On the Filters & Sorting step, expand any of the filter cards to narrow down your export:
- Categories, Tags, Brands, Shipping Class
- Product Types: Simple, Variable, Grouped, External, or Variation
- Product Status: Published, Draft, Pending Review, or Private
- Stock Status and Stock Quantity
- Featured
- Published Date and Modified Date: pick a preset (Today, Yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days) or a Custom range
- User Role
Leave a filter card collapsed and untouched to skip it. With no filters applied, the export includes every product in your store.
Step 4: Choose your export format and finish up
On the Export Options step, choose a file format:
| Format | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CSV | General use, Google Sheets, bulk editing | Most universal; opens in Excel, Google Sheets |
| TSV | Tab-separated workflows | Useful when your data contains commas |
| XLS | Excel 97-2003 compatibility | Legacy format support |
| XLSX | Modern Excel workflows | Native Excel 2007+ format |
| XML | Data feeds, integrations | Structured format for automation |
CSV is recommended for most tasks.
If you’ve already saved an Export Template, apply it from the dropdown on this step to reuse the same fields, filters, and format instead of setting them up again.
To build a reusable template, use Create Template (it reads Manage Templates once you have templates). This opens a separate template builder where you choose the fields to save; it does not carry over the selections from your current export.
Click Export to generate and download your file.
