How to Assign Locations to Orders

The Multi Location Product & Inventory Management for WooCommerce plugin allows admins to manually assign store locations to customer orders. This ensures products are dispatched from the correct location with available stock.

Step 1: Enable Manual Assignment

  1. Go to Location Manage > Settings > Order & Cart.
  2. Find the option Order Assignment Method.
  3. Select Manual Assignment.
  4. Click Save Changes.
