# Exporting Your Data

CrowdWork lets you export your data as CSV files from several places in the dashboard — for accounting, mailing lists, attendance records, and more. This page covers all the available exports and where to find them.

{% hint style="info" %}
**This guide is for venues and ticket sellers.** If you are a customer looking to remove your data, please [contact our support team](https://docs.crowdwork.com/contacting-support) from the email address associated with your account.

## Exporting Tickets or Registrations

You can export a list of all tickets or registrations for a specific show or class, including patron names, email addresses, ticket tiers, order dates, and custom checkout field responses.

> **Direct links:** [Tickets Dashboard](https://crowdwork.com/dashboard/tickets) | [Registrations Dashboard](https://crowdwork.com/dashboard/registrations)

**To export tickets or registrations for a specific event:**

1. Go to **Dashboard → Shows** (or **Classes**) and click on the event name
2. Use the **Filter By Name** dropdown to select a specific event.
   1. Optionally, use the **Filter By Date** dropdown to select a specific occurrence, or leave as-is to include all
   2. Optionally, use the Date Range options to filter by **Date Purchased** or **Event Dates**
3. Click the **Export CSV** button

The downloaded file includes one row per admission with patron details, financial data, and any custom checkout field responses collected at checkout. The Tickets and Registrations exports share the same column structure.

**Financial — Totals**

| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `net total`          | The admission total after discounts and credits are subtracted and surcharges are added, but before fees and donations. Formula: `subtotal - discount amount - membership amount - credit amount + surcharge` |
| `refund amount`      | Total amount refunded on this admission, if any                                                                                                                                                               |

| `deposited`          | Amount deposited to your account — what your theatre receives after fees (if absorbed) and donations are included. This column does account for refunds                                                       |

**Understanding the `deposited` column**

The `deposited` column is your best at-a-glance number for what lands in your account. It starts from the net total, adds donations, subtracts fees if your theatre absorbs them, and accounts for any refunds.

**About the `refunded` status**

The status column only shows `refunded` when a full refund has been issued. Partial refunds will still show `paid` as the status — check the `refund amount` column to see if a partial refund was applied.

**Order Metadata**

| Column                       | Description                                                                                           |
| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `payment plan?`              | Whether this admission was purchased via a payment plan (`true` / `false`)                            |
| `bundle purchase?`           | Whether this admission was part of a bundle purchase (`true` / `false`)                               |
| `payment type`               | How the patron paid: `free`, `card`, `cash`, or `manual`                                              |
| `original bundled tier cost` | Original individual tier price when purchased as part of a bundle; `$0.00` when not a bundle purchase |

**Custom Checkout Fields**

Any custom checkout fields you have created will appear as additional columns at the end of the export. Each field name becomes its own column header, and the patron's response appears as the value. See [Custom Checkout Fields](https://docs.crowdwork.com/for-theatres/custom-checkout-fields) for details on creating and managing these fields.

## Exporting Your Customer or Student List

You can export your full patron list — or a filtered subset — as a CSV. This is useful for newsletters, mailing lists, and patron outreach.

> **Direct links:** [Customers Dashboard](https://crowdwork.com/dashboard/customers) | [Students Dashboard](https://crowdwork.com/dashboard/students)

2. Optionally use the **Filters** to narrow results by date, event, or other criteria
3. Click the **Export CSV** button

{% hint style="info" %}
**Customers vs. Students:** Customers are patrons who have purchased show tickets. Students are patrons who have registered for classes. Each has its own list and export. If you need both, export them separately and combine as needed.

## Exporting Custom Checkout Field Submissions

If you collect additional information from patrons during checkout using Custom Checkout Fields, you can export all responses from the Submissions page.

> **Direct link:** [Checkout Field Submissions](https://crowdwork.com/dashboard/custom-fields/responses)

1. Go to **Dashboard → Checkout Fields → Submissions**
2. Optionally filter by field or event
3. Click the **Export CSV** button

{% hint style="success" %}
**Also included in ticket and registration exports:** Custom checkout field responses are included in the Tickets and Registrations CSV exports as well — so if you're already pulling an event-level report, you don't need a separate export.
{% endhint %}

<details>

<summary><strong>Custom Field Submissions Export — Column Reference</strong></summary>

Each row represents one field response from one patron. If a patron answered multiple fields during checkout, each answer appears as its own row.
