Is it possible to schedule automatic exports of WooCommerce order data to Google Sheets at regular intervals, and if so, how can I configure this?
I’m sure there is. Did you check the woo commerce documentation? The answer is probably contained there.

You can look at the WooCommerce API WooCommerce REST API Documentation - WooCommerce and then look at Google’s system for sheets and scheduling scripts (Apps Script – Google Apps Script).
Although it might be a lot easier to schedule python jobs to parse the data as you need.
Either way Google Scripts offers scheduled runs of jobs on whatever timeline you set. If you just wanted to do it from your computer you could configure CRON jobs or TaskScheduler jobs (depending on your OS) to trigger a python script to call the api and output excel/csv files which can then be uploaded to Google Sheets. Up to you to figure out what works best for your use-case and what is comfortable for you to pick up.

Thank you for providing such a great source of information! The suggestions about the WooCommerce API and Google Apps Script are really helpful for Lauren Daigle. I appreciate the insight into using Python for scheduled jobs as well.
