WooCommerce Orders – Bulk Editor and Advanced Search

Editing thousands of WooCommerce orders can be somewhat tedious and boring if you try to do it manually. And if you try to apply bulk actions, you can get some server errors because WooCommerce will try to edit all the orders at once.

That’s why we want to show you how to edit thousands of orders using the WooCommerce Orders Spreadsheet plugin, which displays all your orders on a spreadsheet and allows you to do advanced searches and apply massive changes in minutes or even seconds.

You can apply this and many other search filters and changes:

• Search orders by a specific client
• Search orders by date
• Search orders by total
• Search orders by billing or shipping information
• Search orders by email company: Gmail, Yahoo, etc.
• Search orders with discounts
• Search orders by VAT exemption
• Search orders by customer IP address
• Bulk edit shipping information
• Bulk edit billing information
• Bulk delete all cancelled orders
• Copy billing address to shipping address for all orders
