Your Step-by-Step WooCommerce to CSV Export Process
Cart2Cart simplifies the process of exporting your WooCommerce store data to a CSV file. Follow these straightforward steps to ensure a smooth and accurate data transfer:
-
Connect Your Source WooCommerce Store
Begin by selecting WooCommerce as your source platform in the Cart2Cart wizard. You'll then provide your store's administrative URL and choose a secure connection method. Options include API access (using Consumer Key and Secret), providing admin credentials for an auto-upload bridge, or manually uploading a connection bridge via FTP/SFTP.
-
Configure Your CSV Export
Next, you'll configure your export settings. Select 'CSV File' as your target platform. While the screenshot below illustrates a general target store setup, for a CSV export, this step focuses on defining the output file, and specific target store credentials would not be required.
-
Select Data Entities for Export
Choose precisely which data entities you wish to export from your WooCommerce store. This includes essential data like products, customers, orders, categories, and more. The wizard clearly outlines available entities and any dependencies to ensure a complete export.
-
Choose Additional Export Options
Enhance your export by selecting additional options. These can include preserving SEO URLs, migrating image links embedded in descriptions, or exporting hashed customer passwords. These options ensure your CSV file contains all the critical data you need.
-
Run a Demo Export & Review Results
Before committing to a full export, run a free demo. This transfers a limited number of entities, allowing you to review the CSV file structure and data accuracy. You can then verify that everything meets your expectations.
-
Initiate Full Data Export
Once you're satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch your full WooCommerce data export to CSV. Cart2Cart will process all your selected data, providing a comprehensive and ready-to-use CSV file.

This app performs greatly. The service is very reliable and the support is superb. The service is quite costly for me but in the end, it's worth its money. There is also an automated shopping cart migration and I'm very happy about that! I'm really satisfied.
