Navigate your WooCommerce data with the precision of a master mariner. Sextant Export & Import is the essential navigational tool for store owners who need to move order data, products, and customer records between vessels without losing their way.

Just as a traditional sextant allows a sailor to find their exact position by the stars, this plugin gives you total orientation over your store’s data. Whether you are migrating to a new “port” (website) or simply need to keep your “logbooks” (spreadsheets) updated, Sextant ensures a smooth voyage.

Key Features for a Smooth Voyage

  • Precise Navigation: Export exactly what you need with granular filters—no more drifting in a sea of unnecessary data.
  • Steady Course: Import data with confidence. Our mapping system ensures every piece of information lands exactly where it should.
  • Lightweight Vessel: Built for speed and efficiency, ensuring your server’s performance stays on an even keel.
  • Clear Horizon: A clean, intuitive interface that doesn’t require a captain’s license to operate.

Stop guessing your position and start exporting with professional accuracy. Set your course with Sextant Export & Import today.

Export

  • All products exported to a clean .xlsx file — opens in Excel, LibreOffice, Google Sheets
  • Simple and variable products supported — variants go on a separate sheet, linked to their parent
  • Choose which fields to include: ID, SKU, name, prices, stock, categories, tags, images, permalink
  • Filter by product type, status, or category before exporting
  • Product count validation — compares raw database count against WooCommerce API count and warns if they differ

Import

  • Upload the exported .xlsx file (or any file matching its column structure) to update products in bulk
  • Choose which fields to import — only the columns you select will be updated
  • Supported fields: SKU, product name, status, short description, full description, regular price, sale price, stock status, stock quantity, weight, categories, tags, and permalink (slug)
  • Preview changes before committing — see exactly what will be updated
  • Products are matched by WooCommerce ID — safe and unambiguous

Built for reliability

  • Three-layer safety system — disengages automatically if something goes wrong, protecting your store from downtime
  • Built-in error reporting — email a diagnostic report to the developer directly from your admin panel
  • No Composer dependencies, no external libraries, no bloat
