How to Extract Emails from WooCommerce Order Exports

Export and import options vary by plan, permissions and product version. Check the platform’s current help documentation if a menu or format differs. Use only contact data you are authorized to process; an extracted address is not proof of marketing consent.

Things to Know

Contact data is not preserved

Email Extractor outputs email addresses only. Names, addresses, order amounts, products, dates and other WooCommerce fields are not carried over.

Billing vs. shipping email

WooCommerce records the billing email address. There is typically no separate shipping email field.

Guest vs. registered customers

WooCommerce allows guest checkout. Guest customers provide an email at checkout but do not create an account. Both guest and registered customer emails appear in order exports.

Refunded orders

Refunded or cancelled orders still have billing email addresses. Depending on your export settings, these may be included.
