How to export YITH WooCommerce Delivery Date data with Store Exporter Deluxe

Your customers pick a delivery date at checkout, and now your warehouse or courier needs that list. Instead of opening every order to copy the date by hand, you can export it.

Store Exporter Deluxe reads the dates that YITH WooCommerce Delivery Date Premium saves on each order. This guide shows you how to check the integration is on, add the delivery fields to an Orders export, and filter the export by delivery date.

Prerequisites

RequirementDetails
Store Exporter DeluxeVersion 5.4.5 or later, installed and active. The Delivery Date filter in Step 3 needs this version.
YITH WooCommerce Delivery Date PremiumInstalled and active. Store Exporter Deluxe looks for this plugin when it builds the field list.
Admin accessAn account that can manage WooCommerce exports. Administrators have this by default.

What the integration adds

When YITH WooCommerce Delivery Date Premium is active, Store Exporter Deluxe adds three fields to the Orders export type:

FieldWhat it contains
Shipping DateThe shipping date YITH saved on the order
Delivery DateThe delivery date your customer picked at checkout
Delivery Time SlotThe delivery time slot, written as the start time and end time with a dash between them

It also adds a Delivery Date filter to the Orders export, so you can export only the orders due for delivery in a date range.

These fields belong to the Orders export only. Other export types, like Products or Customers, don’t get them.

Check that the integration is active

  1. Go to WooCommerce → Store Export.
  2. In the sidebar, click Export Modules.
  3. Type YITH in the Search modules… box.
  4. Find YITH WooCommerce Delivery Date Premium and check that its Status reads Active.
The Export Modules screen filtered by YITH, with the YITH WooCommerce Delivery Date Premium row showing an Active status

If the status reads Inactive and you just activated the YITH plugin, click Refresh Status to check again.

Step 2: Add the delivery fields

  1. On the Export Fields step, click Add more fields.
  2. Type delivery in the Search fields… box.
  3. Select Delivery Date and Delivery Time Slot.
  4. (Optional) Type shipping date in the Search fields… box.
  5. (Optional) Select Shipping Date.
  6. Click Save Fields.

Step 3: Filter by delivery date (optional)

Skip this step if you want every order in the file. The Filters & Sorting step opens after you click Save Fields.

  1. If the Filters & Sorting step is closed, click its header to open it.
  2. Select the checkbox next to Delivery Date.
  3. Pick Custom range.

Step 4: Run the export

  1. If you skipped Step 3, click Continue until the Export Options step opens.
  2. Under File Format, pick a format. CSV works with nearly every spreadsheet.

Send a fixed delivery date range on a schedule

A scheduled export saves the Delivery Date range as fixed dates, and the range stays the same on every run until you edit the schedule. Use a schedule when you need the same date range sent on repeat, for example a weekly copy to your accounts team. For a new day each time, run Quick Export.

  1. In the Store Exporter Deluxe sidebar, click Scheduled Exports.
  2. Click New Schedule.
  3. On the General step, enter a Schedule Name.
  4. Set Export Type to Orders.
  5. Under Export Fields, keep All Fields, or choose a template or Saved Selection that includes the delivery fields.
  6. On the Filters step, open the Date Filters group.
  7. In the Delivery date row, choose Custom Range and pick your dates.
  8. On the Method step, choose how the file is delivered after each run.
  9. On the Scheduling step, set how often the export runs.
  10. Click Create Schedule.
The Filters step of the Add New Scheduled Export form for an Orders schedule, with the Date Filters group open and the Delivery date row set to Custom Range with a date range picked

Known limitations

Date format. Shipping Date and Delivery Date follow the Date Format in Settings → General in WordPress. If your version of YITH can’t format dates this way, the date exports exactly as YITH saved it on the order.

Time slots. Delivery Time Slot is only filled when the order has both a start time and an end time. The times export as YITH saved them, with no reformatting.

One delivery plugin for the filter. The Delivery Date filter reads one delivery plugin at a time. If Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce or Order Delivery Date Pro for WooCommerce is also active, the filter reads that plugin’s dates, not YITH’s.

Troubleshooting

I can’t find the Delivery Date fields in the field list
Go to Export Modules and check that YITH WooCommerce Delivery Date Premium reads Active. If it reads Inactive, activate the YITH plugin, then click Refresh Status. Also check that you picked Orders as the export type, because the fields don’t appear on other types.
The delivery columns are empty for some orders
Open one of those orders and check whether it has a delivery date from YITH. If it doesn’t, there’s nothing to export, so the cells stay empty. Delivery Time Slot also stays empty when the order is missing a start time or an end time.
The Delivery Date filter returns no orders, or the wrong orders
Check that Store Exporter Deluxe is on version 5.4.5 or later. Then widen the date range and try again. If Order Delivery Date for WooCommerce or Order Delivery Date Pro for WooCommerce is also active, deactivate it. The filter reads that plugin’s dates before YITH’s.

Frequently asked questions

Can I export delivery dates for each order item?
No. YITH saves the delivery date on the order, so Store Exporter Deluxe exports it as an order field. Every row for the same order shows the same delivery date.
Can I change how the delivery date looks in the file?
Usually. Change the Date Format in Settings → General in WordPress. Store Exporter Deluxe passes that format to YITH when it writes the date. If your version of YITH can’t format dates this way, the date keeps the format YITH saved.
Can I sort the export by delivery date?
Sort the file in your spreadsheet after you download it. Use the Delivery Date filter in Step 3 to limit the file to the days you need first.
