I am seeking a plugin that will enable woo commerce to track inventory from two distribution centers. The site ships books from two fulfillment warehouses. All orders for addresses in the U.S. ship from Virginia. All orders for addresses outside the US ship from India. 

I found, bought and installed this plugin:

But it only lets me set up warehouses by setting stock depletion priority.   I have written to the developers in Portugal to ask if they have a workaround. Could a custom programmer (Paul Menard, are you seeing this?) take the woocommerce-warehouses plugin and add to it a way to override the warehouse priority based on delivery address? 

I would also like to be able to filter the Woocommerce product orders by country to which the products will be shipped.

I’m looking at a service like TechGecko, but it seems very expensive and overly complex for our needs.

This article that describes the problem well, but doesn’t present a solution.

All ideas welcome and appreciated. Thanks.

Karen,

Since you mentioned my name I felt I needed to read and response. 

Very interesting concept. Is that the only failing point with the plugin you purchased from Code Canyon? How are the warehouses receiving their orders? Does that all work satisfactorily? 

Not that I have bandwidth for this I can maybe help you deep a little deeper.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply. Hope you are well!

Yes, the new plugin seems satisfactory, otherwise.

We would also like if it could print a packing slip. 

Now, I forward the email w the order notification to the right warehouse and update the shipping status as they say it changes. 

I want to get out of the middle. 

Site is live but in-announced till Dec 22. Then it will get lots of use. The books are all free w free shipping.
We have had 40 orders so far due to word of mouth leaks.

I can send you access privately this afternoon, when back at my desk.

This client will gladly pay for your time. Or, a young programmer I work with who has yet to write or alter plugins could maybe try to do it w your direction and guidance.

Thanks Karen, I've been having system problems all day so trying to get that clears up. Then I'll take a look at this. Any chance you can provide the plugin zip file you purchase from CodeCanyon? I can take a look under my local WooCommerce site.

Hi Paul,

I just sent you wp-admin login for lightinnerlight.com

It’s another Yoga-related site, but this time the client is a benefactor rather than a not-for-profit.  I have not heard back yet from the plugin developer in Portugal and can’t think of a way to achieve our goals other than custom programming. I hope you will be intrigues and able to spare a bit o’ bandwidth. 

The site is on wpengine.com. If you want FTP access, please let me know. 

Thank you.
