cause I sell products that I don’t have in stock How can I add the entry: in request to the warehouse status? or modify the written back order in upon request

thanks for your help

I am looking for the most simple and cost effective solution to create a catalog-like website where the customers can browse the products, see their availability and units available, but don’t have an option to purchase. This is to do sales in the physical location only, and the catalog is just for seeing the availability. On top of that, I need an integrated warehouse management system that could update the product units automatically, preferably with barcodes – we scan a product, mark it as sold and it automatically updates the WMS and the catalog.

Has anyone had any experience with something similar?

I have some services lined up, but before I go for it I’d love to hear other opinions. Perhaps this can be done cheaper etc?

1 – It seems that I need WooCommerce to add products. Perhaps I don’t if the site works as catalog only? I’m asking this due to hosting expenses, so if I don’t need woo, I could save a bunch on hosting.
2 – For WMS, I’m looking at WP Factory’s EAN generator. Does anyone know for sure if this updates the stock count automatically? https://wpfactory.com/item/ean-barcodes-woocommerce/
3 – I’ve read that in order to enable “catalog mode”, I would need a theme with such functionality (I learned this from chatGPT lol). Some of those on the list were Flatsome, Astra, Shopkeeper, OceanWP, Divi. Does that mean if I purchase one of these themes, I would have catalog mode available out of the box or would I still need to invest in a plugin?

Or am I just making things complicated and the same result can be achieved in a different way? I would highly appreciate your input.

Thanks! <3

Salute to the developers that provide the best plugin.

I have an idea if you guys can add Local Pick-up feature to your plugin, it would be the feature.

Where we can add single or multiple Pick-up locations by the products, SKUs, Shipping Class etc..

*Similar concept through the link attached for the team.

Feel free to ask any question, you may have.

Would this integrate with the PGH WooCommerce UPS Shipping and Print Label Plugin? Documentation on the site only refers to using an additional add on for Multi Vendor together with Print Label and a WC Vendors type plugin. These seem to do too much and I don’t need vendors. Just multi warehouse support.

My company rents and sells campervans. We also have a webshop where we sell some components that go in the vans. With Woocommerce we’ve found a proper tool to manage our webshop and its inventory, but now the idea is to use the same system as a warehousing/manufacturing system as well. The problem is that the more inforamtion I search, the more I realize that woocommerce might not have the tool I want, because it works just as a back end to a webshop.

In other words, our company has the webshop as a way of drain some of the components we’ve decided not to use or just have to much stock. Our core business though, is van conversion. This means that most of the times, we need a system that allows to track every item that “leaves the warehouse” without being sold.
For example: when we build a piece of furniture that’s supposed to go in a van, how do we let the system know: “ok, this list of items is commited to this piece of furniture, I just built one, so the furniture stock goes up, but each item’ stock goes down. I can’t seem to find a way of doing it instead of a “ficticious sale”.

Can someone help me please?

P.S. we also have ATUM inventory platform, but the problem is similar, and after talking to their costumer support, I’ve found out that in fact they don’t have the add ons I need

first, thank you for that amazing plugin.

We’ve been playing quite a bit with the demo of the premium add-on: Multi Inventory.

We have two warehouses (EU and US) and want to show our customers one or the other based on their location. Your add-on offers that possibility, So far so good.

However, we need a fallback. Default for empty regions is the default country, but this doesn’t work for us. We need to let our visitors manually select their country with a simple selector. If I am not wrong, this is not possible with ATUM.

We are using the “famous” booster for Woocommerce plugin, and they have a great solution.

Detection by IP then by user selection. The selector then set the default Checkout billing country. This is a super simple solution and is bulletproof.

How… easy would it be to implement that?

Thank you very much in advance for your answer

Little example:

SKU: Blue Shoes | Location: Warehouse | In stock: 5 | ID order: #222,#234
