Stock Locations for WooCommerce

Stock Locations for WooCommerce will help you manage your products stock across multiple locations easily. If you have multiple physical stores or storage locations, like warehouses, this plugin may help you.

You can print the locations inside a product page on the frontend, with this shortcodes:

[slw_product_variations_locations show_qty="yes" show_stock_status="no" show_empty_stock="yes" collapsed="yes" stock_location_status="all|disabled|enabled"]
[slw_product_message is_available="yes" only_location_available="no" location="location-slug"]Your custom product message/HTML here[/slw_product_message]

Cart page

[slw_cart_message qty_from_location="location-slug" only_location_available="no"]Your custom cart message/HTML here[/slw_cart_message]

    How to allow editing location values on orders after being reduced?

3.1.7

• Fix: Variable products showing out of stock even when inventory exists – resolved stock status handling for variations without manual location stock entry [Thanks to Ben Croft][28/05/2026]

3.1.4

• Fix: Bug with variation stock status querying (PR #171). Variations were getting their is_in_stock queried, and reporting incorrectly they were out of stock. [Thanks to kennydude / Joe Simpson][30/04/2026]

3.1.1

• Fix: Corrected stock status calculation when all locations have zero stock to prevent false “in stock” state. [Thanks to @armanuniverse][06/04/2026]
• Fix: Ensured proper handling and saving of _stock_status (instock/outofstock) in database.
• Improvement: Replaced unreliable stock status checks with aggregated per-location stock calculation.
• Improvement: Standardized return values to boolean for accurate WooCommerce compatibility.
• Props: Thanks to armanuniverse for identifying and sharing the fix.

3.1.0

• Resolved ‘get_variation_default_attribute’ fatal error and out-of-stock display issue caused by Stock Locations plugin update, ensuring variable and simple products now show correct stock status. [Thanks to Renzo Westenbroek | Webreturn][12/03/2026]

3.0.9

• Fixed: Including API response and optimized approach to DB writes, backorder related status and a few more improvements suggested in support threads since October 2025. [07/03/2026]

3.0.8

• Fixed: Compatibility issue with Woodmart theme where early returns in slw_wp_head() prevented closing of tag, causing invalid HTML and breaking mobile viewport (meta viewport ignored, pages rendering in desktop mode on mobile). Refactored dynamic CSS output to collect rules first and only inject block when content exists; bumped hook priority to 20 for safer execution after theme styles. [Thanks to Spikee] [22/02/2026]

3.0.7

• Added: JSON payload-based API for bulk updating stock and price per location for products and variations. [Thanks to Mark Boorman][12/01/2026]

3.0.6

• Added: WooCommerce variation availability now respects location stock for swatch-based themes like Woodmart. [Thanks to Renzo Westenbroek][05/01/2026]

3.0.4

• Tested: WooCommerce variation availability now respects location stock for swatch-based themes like Woodmart. [Thanks to Renzo Westenbroek][05/01/2026]

3.0.2

• Fixed: Only enabled/active stock locations will contribute in total stock value but it would still be editable. [Thanks to @josephkallinit][21/10/2025]
• Fixed: Prevented potential PHP error when $slw_api_valid_keys is null during API validation. [Thanks to Tushar Tajane][21/10/2025]
• New: Order notes can be turned off from the settings. [Thanks to Rob Wood][21/10/2025]
• Fixed: Incorrect price range display for variable products when location-based stock prices are higher than variation base prices. The location price now overrides confusing WooCommerce default range formatting.
• Improved: Sale price logic now fully respects location-based pricing — ensuring both range and sale indicators are hidden when local price is higher. [21/10/2025]

3.0.1

• Added: Conditional CSS injection for WooCommerce Blocks to hide sale and del elements when location price exceeds the base or sale price.
• Improved: Price hiding logic refactored for better compatibility across all product types (simple, variable, grouped). [20/10/2025]
