 * Hello. Is there a way of creating a crontab that would export a CSV of all products
   to a specified file location on a regular schedule?
 * Thank you

 * Hi [@thesupportguy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thesupportguy/)
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * This is a bit of a complicated topic that would need some customization to address.
   Unfortunately, [custom coding](https://woocommerce.com/support-policy/) is not
   something we can assist with directly. However, I’ll keep this thread open for
   a bit to see if anyone from the community can lend a hand.

   hesitate to reach out to some of the great resources we have available for support.

 * Thanks for reaching out. After posting this I went down a rabbit hole looking
   for a wordpress plugin and ended up writing a PHP script that executes via a 
   crontab. Ultimately it was a simpler solution, I was just hoping to keep it insular
   with WordPress.
 * All the best and thanks again.

 * Hi,
 * Glad to know you found a work-around.
 * Using crontab typically involves writing code or scripts and configuring the 
   server settings. If you wanted to use crontab to automate a task in WooCommerce,
   you would need to write a script that performs the task (such as exporting product
   data), and then use crontab to schedule when that script should run. This is 
   out of the scope we can provide in the forums as per our support policy: [https://woocommerce.com/support-policy/](https://woocommerce.com/support-policy/)
 * However, please note that setting up a crontab can be a complex task and should
   be carried out by someone who is familiar with server management and programming.
 * If you need further assistance, you might want to hire a vetted expert at [WooCommerce Customizations Page](https://woocommerce.com/experts/).
