The 5 Best Plugins for WooCommerce Product Export to Excel

Most WooCommerce product export plugins produce CSV files you can open in Excel. That works for personal reference. When you need to deliver a true Excel file that arrives as .xls or .xlsx without a manual conversion step, then the export plugin you use has to support native Excel output.

In this article, I rerank the five plugins from The 5 Best WooCommerce Product Export Plugins based on two things: whether they export directly to .xls or .xlsx, and how much control they give you over variation and image columns: the two areas where product data gets complicated. For the full breakdown of how each plugin handles those fields, see The 5 Best Plugins for WooCommerce Product Export to CSV.

5 Best Plugins for WooCommerce Product Export to Excel

1. WP All Export
2. Woo Import Export
3. Product Import Export for WooCommerce
4. WooCommerce – Store Exporter
5. WooCommerce Product CSV Import Suite

1. WP All Export

WP All Export exports WooCommerce products directly to XLS and XLSX. The Export Type panel on the Drag & Drop screen offers Spreadsheet, and the dropdown under it includes the XLS and XLSX Excel file types, so the downloaded file is already in Excel format. WooCommerce’s built-in product exporter, on the other hand, only outputs CSV.

WP All Export exports product variations and their parent products as separate records rather than flattening variation data into a single row. The Available Data panel supplies product images along with their captions and alt text, and each image field appears in the Excel file as its own column. Both are configured on the same Drag & Drop screen used for a plain price-and-stock spreadsheet.

WP All Export also runs product exports on a schedule, either through server cron jobs or through its paid scheduling service, which triggers the export from the plugin interface and confirms completion. A Zapier connection routes a scheduled XLSX export to Dropbox, Google Drive, or an email address without anyone opening WordPress. A supplier expecting a fresh Excel catalog every Monday gets one without a manual export each week.

WP All Export and WP All Import work together as a WordPress export/import plugin pair. WP All Export exports WooCommerce products to XLSX for editing in Excel, and WP All Import reads that same file back into the store, so product data stays in Excel format through the full edit cycle.

2. Woo Import Export

Woo Import Export is a CodeCanyon plugin from vjinfotech that handles both directions of WooCommerce data movement. It covers products, orders, product categories, coupons, comments, and users. Exports run in the background, and jobs can be paused, resumed, or stopped part-way through.

The plugin exports to XLS and XLSX, alongside CSV, XML, JSON, ODS, and TXT. Export fields can be rearranged and edited before the export runs, and filters limit which records are included. A separate setting controls whether parent or child variable product records are exported.

Its main drawback is maintenance. The CodeCanyon listing records a last update of 5 March 2025, with stated compatibility reaching WordPress 6.7 and WooCommerce 9.x, both now behind current releases. The plugin costs $229 as a one-time purchase and includes six months of support, with a twelve-month extension sold separately.

3. Product Import Export for WooCommerce

Product Import Export for WooCommerce exports to XLS and XLSX, but only in the paid Pro version. The free plugin on WordPress.org is limited to CSV, and it handles simple, grouped, and external products only. Variable and subscription product support also sits behind Pro.

In Pro, the export runs from WebToffee Import Export (Pro) > Export. Supported file format options include XLS, XLSX, CSV, XML, TSV, and Google Sheets. Columns can be mapped and reordered before the export runs, and filters cover product type, category, tags, SKU, price, stock status, and created date. Images can be exported as a separate ZIP bundle, and configurations save as reusable templates.

Pricing starts at $69 per year for a single site, with $129 for five sites and $249 for twenty-five. The plugin handles products only, so orders, customers, and coupons need separate WebToffee plugins or the Import Export Suite at $129 per year and up.

4. WooCommerce – Store Exporter

Store Exporter exports to CSV in its free version. XLS and XLSX require the paid Deluxe upgrade, as do TSV, XML, and scheduled exports. Version 2.8.1 closed a gap where those Deluxe-only formats had been visible in the free plugin’s settings, replacing them with an upgrade prompt.

The plugin only supports exports. Products, orders, customers, categories, tags, subscriptions, and coupons are all covered, with native export integration for 125+ WooCommerce and WordPress plugins. Getting data back into a store means adding a separate plugin.

Deluxe starts at $39.50 per year as an introductory price, normally $79, with an agency tier at $199 for unlimited sites. Deluxe adds delivery by email, FTP/SFTP, the WordPress media library, or a remote POST endpoint.

5. WooCommerce Product CSV Import Suite

Product CSV Import Suite exports to CSV only. It produces no XLS or XLSX file, which is why it ranks last on a list measured by native Excel output. A CSV opens in Excel, so the extension still suits exports that are read manually rather than sent on to a third party.

The extension is a paid WooCommerce.com product built by the Woo team, and priced at $59 per year. It handles custom fields and custom taxonomies without code, and supports data from Product Vendors, WooCommerce Brands, WooCommerce Photography, and Google Product Feed. Variations are handled through a separate variations CSV rather than one file. Exports can be limited by row count or offset, and draft products are included.

WooCommerce’s own documentation states the extension will be phased out and its features folded into WooCommerce core.

WooCommerce Product Export to Excel — Wrap-Up

The list is ranked on one requirement: whether the plugin produces a real Excel file, and how much control it gives over the data inside it. WP All Export is the only plugin here that meets both parts without a condition attached. WP All Export exports WooCommerce products directly to XLS and XLSX from the Export Type panel on the Drag & Drop screen. Product variations and their parent products export as separate records, and the Available Data panel supplies product images as individually configurable Excel columns.

Below it, the picture is uneven. One plugin offers Excel output but has not been updated since March 2025. Two reserve XLS and XLSX for a paid tier. One produces no Excel file in any version.

WP All Export and WP All Import work together as a WordPress export/import plugin pair. WP All Export exports WooCommerce products to XLSX for editing in Excel, and WP All Import reads that same file back into the store, so a bulk edit stays in Excel format from start to finish.

Common Questions About Exporting WooCommerce Products to Excel

How do I export WooCommerce products to Excel?

To export WooCommerce products to Excel:

1. Go to All Export › New Export.
2. Select WooCommerce Products as the export post type.
3. Click Customize Export File and choose your export columns.
4. Expand the Export Type panel and select Spreadsheet.
5. Choose either Excel File XLS or Excel File XLSX.
6. Run the export and download the file.

Does WooCommerce export products to Excel by default?

No. WooCommerce’s built-in product exporter outputs CSV only, with no XLS or XLSX option in its interface. A CSV opens in Excel, but it is not an Excel file, so sending one to a supplier or marketplace that expects XLSX means converting it first. WP All Export exports WooCommerce products directly to XLS and XLSX, which removes the conversion step.

How do I export only certain WooCommerce products to Excel?

To export a subset of your WooCommerce products to Excel:

1. Go to All Export › New Export and select WooCommerce Products.
2. Expand the filtering options before continuing.
3. Set an Element, Rule, and Value to define which products are included.
4. Add further rules to narrow the selection.
5. Continue to the Drag & Drop screen and set the Export Type to Excel File.
6. Run the export and download the file.

Can I edit a WooCommerce product export in Excel and import it back?

Yes. You can edit a WooCommerce product export in Excel and import it back into your store. WP All Export exports WooCommerce products to XLSX, and WP All Import reads that same file back in, matching rows to existing products and updating the fields you changed. The data stays in Excel format at both ends, so no conversion is needed in either direction.
