WooCommerce inventory by location

WooCommerce multi-location
inventory management

Track stock by shop floor, warehouse, back room, van, supplier, or any custom location. Stokkap adds multi-location inventory for WooCommerce while keeping your storefront stock total in sync.

WooCommerce multi-location inventory breakdown
The problem

WooCommerce shows
one stock number

But your real-world inventory is split across shelves, stockrooms, warehouses, vans, and suppliers. One number hides the truth. Stokkap gives WooCommerce stores proper multi-location inventory management without replacing WooCommerce.

Problem 1

No location visibility

Staff can't see if stock is on the shop floor, in the back room, or on a delivery van.

Problem 2

Transfers are a black hole

Stock moves between locations but nobody logs it, so counts drift and trust breaks.

Problem 3

Reordering is guesswork

You don't know what's low where, so you reorder late or move stock too late.

Problem 4

No accountability

When stock is missing, there's no trail to see who changed what, where, and why.

The solution

Stokkap tracks every stock location, not just the total

See inventory by location

Each product shows stock across shop floor, warehouse, back room, supplier, van, shelf, or any location structure you use. WooCommerce keeps the total, Stokkap shows the operational detail.

Use it for shelves, stockrooms, warehouses, vans, and suppliers

Multi-location inventory is not only for businesses with multiple stores. Use it to organise the exact shelf, rack, bin, upper/lower area, stockroom, warehouse, supplier, or van where each product actually sits.

Shelves, racks, and stockrooms

Track stock on Shelf A, upper rack, lower rack, back room, display, damaged, and return areas instead of relying on one store-wide quantity.

Stores and warehouses

Manage stock across a shop floor, stockroom, main warehouse, overflow storage, dispatch zone, or multiple warehouse buildings.

Supplier, van, and remote stock

Keep supplier-held stock, mobile stock, event stock, and off-site storage visible without mixing it into one unreliable total.

Location types can power smarter shipping

When stock locations are organised properly, Stokkap can use location types to control depletion, shipping methods, delivery messages, and optional fast-dispatch fees.

Override depletion by shipping zone

Use one depletion order for local orders and a different order for distant zones. For example, sell from shop floor first locally, but prefer warehouse stock for another delivery zone.

Show shipping methods based on stock source

If a cart contains one product from a fast shop-floor location and another from a slower supplier or warehouse location, Stokkap can restrict or adjust the shipping options shown.

Add fast-location surcharges

Offer faster dispatch when stock is available in a fast location, and add a configurable surcharge when that shipping option costs more to fulfil.

Built for internal inventory operations

Stokkap is for staff, warehouse, and store teams, not customer-facing location pickers.

Unlike frontend plugins for pickup locations, multiple addresses, or store selectors, Stokkap focuses on knowing where inventory is, how it depletes, and who changed it.

WooCommerce multi-location inventory FAQs

Answers for WooCommerce store owners managing multiple stock locations, warehouses, stockrooms, vans, and suppliers.

How many inventory locations can I create?

Unlimited. Create as many locations, stockrooms, shelves, warehouses, vans, supplier locations, or sub-locations as you need on any plan.

Does WooCommerce still show the total stock?

Yes. WooCommerce keeps the total stock value, while Stokkap tracks the inventory breakdown by location behind it.

How many locations can a product have?

Unlimited. A product can have as many locations as you need, including multiple locations of the same type.

Will transfers sync back to WooCommerce?

Transfers update the total stock in WooCommerce instantly, so your storefront stays accurate.

Can I set a stock depletion priority by location?

Yes. Set priority so stock sells from shop floor first, then warehouse, back room, supplier, or any other location order you choose.

Does multi-location inventory work for variable products and variations?

Yes. You can enable inventory locations for variations and manage stock by location at the variant level.

Is this the same as a pickup location or multiple address plugin?

No. Stokkap is internal inventory management for WooCommerce. It tracks stock across physical locations; it is not a checkout address, delivery zone, or customer pickup-location selector.
