Export Orders for WooCommerce – AI & MCP for Claude and ChatGPT

Export Orders for WooCommerce lets you create order reports in CSV, Excel (XLSX), PDF, XML and JSON from WordPress or through Claude and ChatGPT. Filter orders, select customer and product fields, and download the results.

The built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets connected AI assistants discover export fields, check order counts and create export files through conversation.

Start with Lite. Automate with Pro. Lite includes all five export formats, core MCP connections and the AI Export Assistant. Upgrade to Export Orders Pro to turn repeated reporting tasks into scheduled exports, deliver files automatically and include custom order metadata. Your AI provider’s account requirements, subscription charges and usage limits are separate. Manual exports work without an AI account.

Need recurring reports, custom fields or automatic delivery? Explore Export Orders Pro for scheduling, reusable column templates, cloud delivery and export history.

WooCommerce order export features

Upgrade to Export Orders Pro for automation and delivery

Stop repeating the same export setup and file handoffs. Upgrade to Export Orders Pro to schedule your reports, reuse column templates and send generated files directly to your team’s destinations. Spend less time preparing reports and more time running your store.

Scheduled exports and background processing

• Schedule exports hourly, daily, weekly or monthly.
• Choose how many previous days of orders each scheduled report includes.
• Generate exports in the background and retrieve the file after leaving the export screen.
• View scheduled runs on a dedicated page with run times, status, order counts, errors and downloads.

Automatic delivery and notifications

• Upload generated export files to FTP, Dropbox or Google Drive.
• Select multiple configured destinations for the same export.
• Send export-ready notifications to Zapier webhooks.
• Email a recipient when an export completes, with an optional file attachment.
• Review delivery success or failure messages for each destination.

Reusable templates and custom metadata

• Save, update and delete reusable column-selection and column-order templates.
• Start with built-in Tax Report, Shipping Labels and Customer Mailing List column layouts. These are field presets, not postage-label generation services.
• Discover custom order and order-item metadata from recent orders.
• Add order and item meta keys manually for fields such as delivery dates, gift messages or personalization details, where those values are stored as supported metadata.
• Discover Pro’s additional metadata fields through the AI/MCP field tools.

Export history and new-order integrations

• Review background exports with job status, order counts, destination results and download links.
• Download retained export files again from history.
• Delete selected history entries or all entries, including their generated files on your WordPress server. Copies already delivered to external destinations are not removed.
• Append new orders to a configured Google Sheets tab and range.
• Send new-order events to a configured Zapier webhook.

External destinations require your own accounts and connection settings. Scheduled processing depends on WordPress scheduled tasks or Action Scheduler running on your site. Google Sheets new-order sync is separate from uploading export files to Google Drive.

Schedules and destination credentials are configured in WordPress. AI-controlled schedule creation and credential configuration are not included in the current tool set.

• Keep track of every run. Review background export history, delivery results and scheduled run status in WordPress.

Both editions support WooCommerce HPOS. Pro adds the automation and reporting-management features listed above; Lite retains its existing export formats and core AI/MCP tools.

Upgrade to Export Orders Pro and make your next recurring report an automated workflow.

Export orders with Claude and ChatGPT

Connect either assistant to your store’s MCP URL and approve access through WordPress. Both can have active connections at the same time.

The tools read order information and generate files; they do not provide actions to edit or delete WooCommerce orders.

The AI Export Assistant in the WordPress export screen also accepts supported plain-language requests and fills the form for review. This local request interpreter is separate from connecting an external AI assistant.

Example requests

• “List the available order export fields and formats.”
• “Preview five completed orders from last month.”
• “Export completed orders from 2026-08-01 to 2026-08-31 as CSV with order ID, date, customer email and total.”
• “Create an Excel export with product SKUs and quantities.”
• “Check the status of my export.”

Review interpreted filters and fields before exporting.

Available MCP tools

• eowc-get-fields: discover available export fields.
• eowc-get-formats: list supported export formats.
• eowc-query: preview matching orders and their count.
• eowc-generate-export: create an export job.
• eowc-get-export-status: check job progress.
• eowc-export-orders: export using structured parameters.
• eowc-ai-export-orders: interpret a supported export request.

Includes native HTTP/STDIO MCP and WordPress Abilities API support; no WordPress MCP Adapter plugin required. Other clients need compatible authentication and transport.

Authentication and access

Remote connections use OAuth authorization codes with S256 PKCE, administrator consent, expiring access tokens and rotating refresh tokens. ChatGPT client metadata discovery and Claude dynamic client registration are supported. Enter your WordPress password only on your store’s sign-in page.

Authorization requires the WordPress manage_options capability, normally held by administrators. Open Export Orders > AI Connections > Revoke my AI connections to revoke all connections approved by your current WordPress user. Revocation does not erase data already returned to an assistant.

External services and privacy

Connecting an AI assistant is optional. The MCP server and OAuth endpoints run on your WordPress site; this version does not require a publisher-hosted discovery service.

OpenAI / ChatGPT: During client verification, WordPress may retrieve the public client metadata document from chatgpt.com. This sends a network request, including the server IP and normal HTTP request information, but does not include order data. Once you authorize ChatGPT and it calls tools, your site returns the requested results, which can contain order/customer details and export download links. OAuth exchanges also pass authorization codes and tokens between your site and the client. OpenAI terms and privacy policy.

Anthropic / Claude: If you connect Claude, it communicates with your site’s discovery, registration, authorization, token and MCP endpoints. After authorization, requested tool results can contain order/customer details and export download links. The browser returns to a Claude callback with the authorization result. Anthropic terms and privacy policy.

Share only the fields needed for your task. An assistant or anyone receiving a valid export download link may obtain the file. Your chosen provider’s policies and account settings govern its handling of received data.

Optional connection diagnostics record step names, UTC times and HTTP status codes for 10 minutes. Results expire after one hour and can be cleared by an administrator.
