Where Is WooCommerce Order Data Stored?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:05 pm

WooCommerce is a popular eCommerce platform for WordPress. One of the benefits of using WooCommerce is that it makes it easy to manage your orders and customers. But have you ever wondered where your WooCommerce order data is stored?

The answer is that it depends. If you’re using the default WooCommerce settings, then your order data is stored in your WordPress database. However, if you’re using a third-party plugin or service to manage your orders, then your data may be stored elsewhere.

PRO TIP: WooCommerce order data is stored in the WordPress database (typically wp_posts table). This is why it’s important to back up your WordPress database.

For example, if you’re using a tool like Zapier to connect WooCommerce with other apps, then your order data will be stored in Zapier’s database. Or if you’re using a service like Shipstation to print shipping labels, then your order data will be stored in their system.

The bottom line is that it depends on how you’re managing your WooCommerce orders. If you’re using the default settings, then your data is stored in your WordPress database. But if you’re using third-party tools or services, then your data may be stored elsewhere.
