Export WooCommerce Products to Excel (with Images)
Excel is still the king of e-commerce management. Whether you are calculating margins, bulk editing descriptions, or sharing catalogs with sales reps, everyone wants data in .xlsx format.
But WooCommerce hates Excel.
Its default export tool gives you a CSV that, when opened in Excel, often turns into a broken mess of special characters (like €) and misalignment.
Why Excel Breaks WooCommerce Exports
- Encoding: WooCommerce uses UTF-8. Excel sometimes tries to read it as ANSI, breaking currency symbols and accents.
- HTML: Descriptions are full of
<p>and<div>tags that look awful in a spreadsheet cell. - Variations: WooCommerce puts parent and child products on separate rows in a way that makes filtering impossible.
The WooScraperPro Fix
WooScraperPro exports data that is Excel-Ready. We handle the encoding and formatting so you can just double-click and work.
How to Get a Clean Excel File
- Scrape the Store: Use WooScraperPro to extract the product data derived from the frontend (which is often cleaner than the database raw data).
- Select "CSV" Export: Download the file.
- The "Import Wizard" Trick:
- Open Excel (Blank Workbook).
- Go to Data > From Text/CSV.
- Select your exported file.
- Crucial Step: Set "File Origin" to 65001: Unicode (UTF-8).
- Click Load.
Now you have a perfect table. Currency symbols are correct. Columns are aligned.
