Quick Export

Quick Export is a one-page tool for exporting WooCommerce data.

Page URL: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wkaie-export

Page title: "Quick Export"

Subtitle: "Export WooCommerce data to a downloadable file. Pick an entity, choose a format and click Run Export."

Quick Export — engine selector, entity dropdown, format dropdown, preview, and run buttons.

1. Engine Selector (3 Radio Buttons)

Pick which export engine to use.

Pick one of three engines: Plugin pipeline, WordPress native, or WooCommerce native.

For most use cases, stick with Plugin pipeline.

• Pick WordPress native when you need WXR format (for the built-in WP importer)
• Pick WooCommerce native when you want WC's standard CSV format for products only

2. Entity Dropdown

Label: "Entity"

All 15 entity options: Products, Orders, Customers, Users, Coupons, taxonomies, and more.

3. Format Dropdown

Label: "Format"

Format options include CSV, JSON, XML, and WXR (locked to the WordPress native engine).

Format Locking

• Plugin pipeline — all 3 formats available
• WordPress native — format locks to WXR
  • Shown message: "WordPress native export uses the WXR (XML) format only. Format selection is locked."
• WooCommerce native — format locks to CSV
  • Shown message: "WooCommerce native exporter outputs CSV only. Format selection is locked."

Buttons

Two buttons at the bottom:

Preview Button

Label: "Preview"

Click to see what will be exported before running.

What shows after clicking:

A blue-bordered box appears with:

• Heading: "[Entity name] — [X] rows total"
• Line: "Columns to export: [X] columns"
• Monospace list of column names

This is a good sanity check before the full export.

The preview panel shows real row counts and the full column list before you run.

Run Export Button

Label: "Run Export" (primary blue button)

Click to run the export.

What happens:

1. Spinner appears next to the button
2. Plugin queries the data
3. Writes a file to wp-content/uploads/wkaie-exports/
4. Green result panel appears

Green Result Panel

Shows after successful export:

• Success message: "Export completed. [size] bytes."
• Download File button — click to save the file

After a successful run, a green panel shows the file size and a Download File button.

Red Error Panel

Shows after a failure:

• Error heading: "Export failed:"
• Error message below

Product Export — Extra Features

When you pick Products with the Plugin pipeline engine, you get:

WC-Standard CSV Format

By default, products export in WooCommerce's 88-column CSV format. This file re-imports cleanly through any WC importer.

Compat Fields Included

If compat plugins are enabled in Settings → Third-Party Compatibility, extra columns are added:

• Yoast SEO (10 fields)
• RankMath (9 fields)
• AIOSEO (6 fields)
• ACF custom fields
• Meta Box custom fields
• Brand taxonomy
• Polylang language
• Vendor IDs (Dokan, WCFM, WC Vendors)

Streaming Mode (For Large Exports)

For 2,000+ rows, the plugin auto-streams output. Memory stays flat no matter how many rows you have.

A 1 million product export uses about the same RAM as a 100-row export.

No setting to change — it just works.
