WooCommerce Advanced Notifications

WooCommerce Advanced Notifications (GPL)

WooCommerce Advanced Notifications is an extension that gives WooCommerce store owners more control over how order, product, and inventory information is communicated. Instead of directing every notification to the primary store administrator, you can create targeted alerts for suppliers, warehouse teams, staff members, drop shippers, and other business contacts.

Notifications can be configured around specific products, categories, order conditions, and stock situations. This makes it easier to ensure that each person receives only the information relevant to their responsibilities, helping reduce unnecessary communication and improve day-to-day order fulfillment.

The package available through 5ivecode.com is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) and includes lifetime free updates and limited email support, subject to the applicable offering terms.

📖 Detailed Overview

WooCommerce Advanced Notifications is designed for stores where different people or organizations need different types of order and inventory information.

A single WooCommerce order may involve several stakeholders. A supplier might only need details about products they provide, while a warehouse employee may need shipping or stock information. Sending the complete order notification to everyone can create unnecessary work and expose information that is not relevant to their role.

This extension allows store administrators to create targeted notification rules so that relevant information reaches the appropriate recipient.

Supplier Notifications

Create dedicated notifications for suppliers and configure them around the products or categories they handle. This can make supplier communication more organized in stores with multiple vendors.

Staff and Warehouse Alerts

Warehouse and fulfillment teams can receive relevant order or stock information without relying on the primary administrator to forward messages manually.

Product and Category Rules

Build notification rules around specific products or categories. This is particularly useful when different suppliers or departments are responsible for different parts of the catalog.

Stock Notifications

Set up alerts related to inventory levels so responsible team members can be informed when products reach configured stock conditions.

Flexible Email Formats

Notifications can be prepared using plain text or HTML formats, allowing you to choose between simple messages and more structured email layouts.

Multi-Recipient Workflows

Create separate notification rules for different business contacts. This can help coordinate communication between suppliers, fulfillment teams, warehouse personnel, and store administrators.
