The ability to add a stock locations to a product.
a Basic feature that is available in Shopify, Prestashop and even OpenCart, since 2012.
for example: A simple text entry field in the Product data > Inventory Tab. Between SKU field and GTIN, UPC, EAN, or ISBN. that would the shop owner to enter some information that would allow them to find said item in their warehouse/brick and mortar shop.
You could even allow for the creation of multi-locations, as shopify does in the starter package. for example:
Warehouse 1 : Shelf A23
Warehouse 2 : Shelf E3
High Street Shop : Under Counter
There are commercial plugins for this, but they are either overly complex with features simply not used, badly managed and have poor after-sales support. Or all three.
As a developer, it’s getting more and more difficult to steer clients towards Woo, over Shopify. This feature being one of the most common complaint we hear.

Adding native stock-location fields to WooCommerce would be a practical improvement, especially for stores managing inventory across multiple warehouses and physical locations. A simple location field in the Product Inventory tab could let shop owners record details such as “Warehouse 1: Shelf A23” or “Warehouse 2: Shelf E3,” while multi-location support would make inventory management even more flexible. This would be especially helpful for businesses storing large equipment, such as an industrial hoist system, where knowing the exact warehouse or shelf location can make picking, tracking, and dispatching products much faster.
