When customers place an order with multiple products, they may experience delays if the processing of one item takes longer than expected. This can lead to customer frustration and damage to your brand’s reputation. To minimize this issue, you should consider the Advanced Split Order for WooCommerce. The tool enables you to split an order into separate orders based on product and quantity so they can be processed and delivered separately.
You can manually split orders or create global rules to automatically split orders based on product, category, or user roles. You can also split orders by product quantity or individual products, as per your business needs.
The extension splits the order by removing the separated products and quantities from the parent order. This ensures that there is no double counting and the store analytics correctly reflect sales data.
The extension can be a handy tool for merchants in many scenarios, some of them are listed below,
Made-to-order product:
If a made-to-order product is purchased along with the other ready-to-deliver products, you can split the made-to-order product and handle its processing separately while at the same time shipping the ready products to mark the order as completed.
Bulk quantity:
If you do not have the required quantity to ship, you can split the order by quantity. For example, suppose a customer places an order with ten quantities of a particular product, and you only have six available. In that case, you can split the order into two orders of 6 and 4 quantities to easily ship the available stock and ship the rest when it’s available.
Packaging and location:
Sometimes, order items cannot be packed into one package or have to be shipped from or to different locations. In such scenarios, splitting the order would allow merchants to easily handle the fulfilment process.
Pre-order and back-orders:
Suppose the cart includes pre-order or back-order items along with the regular items. Splitting the order would allow merchants to ship products when they are available.
Once the order is placed, you can manually split the order from the admin order detail page. You can split the order based on individual products or their quantities. You can also choose to create a single order of selected products or split them into multiple orders based on individual products or their quantity.
With the Advanced Order Split extension, you can create multiple rules to automatically split orders based on product, category, and user roles. The automation rules will split orders instantly based on configured conditions.
Product & Category
You can choose split orders that contain specific products or categories in their order. The extension will create separate order(s) of only the selected products according to your settings.
User Role restriction:
You can restrict the automatic order split rule to specific user roles only. This will ensure the order splits for specific customer types only, offering you better control if you have segregated customers into different user groups.
You can choose to split into a single or multiple orders at once with a single click.
With this extension, you can split the order by quantity or individual product.
For example, if you receive an order containing five quantities of product A and three quantities of product B.
