This section explains how Multi Location Product & Inventory Management for WooCommerce lets you configure all product rules per location from a single screen, without switching between product edit pages.
What “Location-Based Product Configuration” Means
You can control how each product behaves per location, including:
- Stock availability
- Pricing overrides
- Backorder rules
- Location assignment
- Variation-wise inventory (for variable products)
All of this is managed from one centralized interface.
Central Management Area
WordPress Admin → Location Manage → Stock Central
This is the main hub for location-based configuration.
What You Can Configure Per Location
1. Stock Management
- Stock Quantity per location
- In-stock / Out-of-stock behavior
- Purchase Quantity (if enabled)
- Purchase Price (internal tracking)
Each location can have different stock values for the same product.
2. Location-Wise Pricing
- Regular Price per location
- Sale Price per location
- Automatic fallback to global price if empty
This allows:
- Different pricing for different stores
- Location-specific promotions
3. Backorder Rules
Backorder settings can be controlled:
- Globally (default)
- Per location (override)
Available options:
- Do not allow backorders
(additional WooCommerce backorder options apply if enabled)
Unified Popup Modal (One UI)
All location configuration actions use one shared popup modal:
- Quick Edit
- Manage Location
- Add Location
The modal automatically adapts based on:
- Product type
- Selected location
- Selected variation (if applicable)
Product Type Handling
Simple Products
- Full location-based stock and pricing
- Unlimited locations per product
Variable Products
- Configuration is variation-wise + location-wise
- Select:
- Variation
- Location
- Manage stock & price for each combination
Ideal for:
- Size/color products with different availability per store
Grouped Products
Grouped products do not have their own stock or price.
- Location configuration is limited to:
- Assigning locations
- Used for:
- Visibility rules
- Filtering
- Location-based grouping
External / Affiliate Products
- Supports location-wise stock tracking
- Pricing fields optional
- External purchase flow remains unchanged
Default vs Location Override Logic
- Default Settings act as global fallback
- Location Settings override defaults
- Empty fields → inherit default values
This keeps configuration clean and avoids duplication.
Benefits
- One screen for all products and locations
- No need to open individual product edit pages
- Faster bulk management
- Reduced configuration errors
- Scales easily for multi-store businesses
Best Use Cases
- Multi-warehouse inventory control
- Retail chains with store-specific pricing
- Location-based pickup & availability
- High-volume product catalogs
Location-Based Product Configuration gives you complete control over how products behave in each store—all from one place.
