A WP-CLI command that facilitates the extraction of payment data from Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) platform. The command provides the capability to export payment data from a specified time frame, enabling users to generate outputs in either CSV or JSON formats.

Defaults to: customer_id, customer_email, payment_id, sequence_id, transaction_id, payment_date, payment_status, payment_amount, payment_gateway.

• --end=<date>: Export data before specified date/time. Defaults to now. Supersedes days argument.

• --status=<status>: Filter by payment status

• --minamount=<amount>: Filter by minimum purchase amount (total)

EXAMPLES

1. Export default fields to a CLI table:

   $ wp edd-export payments
   

2. Customize fields to include in the export and filter by customer IDs

   $ wp edd-export payments '--fields=["customer_id","customer_email","payment_id","customer_name","payment_notes"]' '--customer_ids=[1,2]'
   

3. Export specific customer's (by e-mail) orders to CSV in the shell and override number of days to include

   $ wp edd-export payments --output-format=csv --days=45 '--emails=["joey@test.com"]
   

4. Export only failed orders between a certain date range to CSV file

   $ wp edd-export payments --output-format=csv-file --start="2023-11-01" --end="2023-11-27 17:00:00" --status=failed
   

5. Export specific product sales to JSON file and specify custom destination, and filter orders by min/max total amount ($20 min, $110 max)

   $ wp edd-export payments --output-format=json-file --destination=/path/to/destination --minamount=20 --maxamount=110 --product_id=123
   

Automatic exporting via wp-cron

To set up the WP-CLI command to run automatically via WP Cron, you can create a custom WordPress cron event and schedule it to execute the WP-CLI command.

1. Create a Custom WP Cron Event: in a custom plugin file or in your theme's functions.php file, hook into the init action to schedule your custom cron event.

   add_action('init', 'edd_schedule_export_cron');
   function edd_schedule_export_cron() {
   	if (!wp_next_scheduled('edd_export_task')) {
   		wp_schedule_event(time(), 'daily', 'edd_export_task');
   	}
   }

2. Hook the WP cron event to the WP-CLI command: add an action hook to link your custom cron event with the export task.

   add_action('edd_export_task', function(){
   	// run the WP-CLI command, adjust the arguments as needed
   	WP_CLI::runcommand('edd-export payments --output-format=csv-file --destination=/path/to/destination --minamount=20 --maxamount=110 --product_id=123');
   });

This code tells WordPress to execute the WP-CLI command when the edd_export_task schedule is run. You can adjust the frequency of the cron event by changing the second parameter of the wp_schedule_event function. For example, to run the command every 6 hours, you would change the second parameter to 6_hours. For more information on the wp_schedule_event function, see the WordPress Codex.
