Exclude Back-Ordered and Virtual Items from WooCommerce Picklist

Last updated on December 9, 2024

Excluding back-ordered and virtual items from WooCommerce picklists ensures that picklists include only products physically available for shipment. This eliminates confusion for warehouse staff and allows them to focus solely on fulfilling ready-to-ship items. This is possible with WebToffee’s WooCommerce Picklists Plugin.

  1. Access Picklist Settings
    • Navigate to Invoice/Packing > Picklist > General from your WordPress dashboard.
