<hr />
<p>Gives you a simple way to control backorders across your WooCommerce catalog without touching product data in the database.</p>
<p>Choose a global backorder policy for your store, apply it to the entire catalog or only selected product categories, and fine-tune how backordered items appear on the storefront. You can also let individual products opt out when you need an exception.</p>
<p>Built for stores that want more control and less clutter, this plugin helps you keep your backorder policy consistent, visible, and easy to manage.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>WHAT DOES IT HELP YOU DO</h2>
<p>• Set backorder behavior globally in one place<br />
• Apply rules to the whole catalog or selected categories<br />
• Choose how backorders behave: Allow, Allow but notify, or Disable<br />
• Keep important products visible even when WooCommerce hides out-of-stock items<br />
• Let specific products ignore the global rule<br />
• Restrict settings access by user role<br />
• Adjust filter priority when you need to win conflicts with other inventory plugins</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>WHY MERCHANTS USE IT</h2>
<p>Instead of editing products one by one, you can manage backorder behavior at the store level and keep your product catalog easier to maintain. That means fewer manual changes, a cleaner admin experience, and more consistent storefront behavior.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>BUILT FOR A NATIVE WOOCOMMERCE WORKFLOW</h2>
<p>• Settings are managed inside <em>WooCommerce > Settings</em><br />
• Product-level opt-out is available on the product edit screen<br />
• Overrides run at runtime, so your admin product data stays native and editable</p>

Backorder Manager: Global and Category Rules

<p>Control backorders across your WooCommerce store from one clean settings screen. Set global rules, target specific categories, and keep product-level exceptions in place without changing your product data.</p>

Live On-Screen Pickin</b>g</h2>

<p class="p1">Pick orders digitally with a clear, visual picking interface. See products, quantities, and progress instantly, with visual indicators showing what’s completed and what remains. This makes it easy to handle multiple orders at the same time without losing overview.</p>
<p class="p1">Ideal for teams that want real-time feedback while picking.</p>
<h2 class="p1">Barcode-Verified Fulfillment</h2>
<p class="p1">Scan barcodes or QR codes to confirm the <b>correct product and quantity before packing</b>. If something doesn’t match, Pick List alerts the user immediately — helping prevent shipping mistakes before they happen.</p>
<p class="p1">Supports common barcode formats and WooCommerce’s <b>Global Unique ID</b> field.</p>
<h2>Smart Order Management</h2>
<p class="p1"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/picklist-2.6.4-orders.png"><img class="alignnone wp-image-18734006424181 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/picklist-2.6.4-orders.png?w=896" alt="Pick List - orders" width="896" height="628" /></a></p>

<p class="p1">Pick smarter, not one order at a time. Batch picking lets you group multiple orders and collect all items in a single round, reducing walking time and improving efficiency. Use barcode scanning or manual controls, print batch lists, and move seamlessly to packing and shipping.</p>

When StockTrack is installed, Pick List becomes location-aware. Pickers see whether an order has a fulfillment location, view local stock quantities per item and variation, and open the Warehouse Map directly from the Pick Order view to visually locate products. <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/stocktrack/">Read more about StockTrack…</a></p>
