Orders Export and import

In general, Magento 2's Import and Export feature enables you to transfer any quantity of data and back up crucial information.

Magento 2 Orders Export

The export feature is standard in Magento 2 apart from the previous Magento 1. You may export order information in either .csv or .xml format.

Supported Data Formats

The.csv file format stores plain text as a sequence of comma-separated values. Use any basic text editor to open and read this format. You could also use a text editor, your browser, Excel, or just any XML Viewer to open.xml files.

Therefore, the.csv format is easier to work with and more user-friendly, whereas.xml data allows you to store a greater quantity of information, including photos, graphs, etc.

Magento 2 Orders Import

Unfortunately, Magento lacks the 'Order Import' functionality by default.

You may import orders from Magento 1 to Magento 2 using Magento's official data migration tool. A third-party solution is required in all other instances.
