Using StockTrack Locations in Other Tools (No Coding Required)
StockTrack locations aren’t just for StockTrack itself.
They can also be used automatically by other plugins and tools in your store — without any custom setup.
What this means for you
When a product has a StockTrack location, that location can be reused by:
- Pick List & order fulfillment tools
- Reports and exports
- Other plugins that read product data
- Custom workflows built on WooCommerce
You don’t need to duplicate locations or manage extra fields.
Smart, context-aware locations
StockTrack always returns the right location at the right time:
- When picking orders → the fulfillment location is used
- When working in StockTrack → the selected warehouse/location is used
- When no location applies → nothing is returned
This avoids confusion and ensures accurate data across your store.
Pick List integration (current behavior)
Pick List for WooCommerce supports StockTrack locations via custom product fields.
When using Pick List together with StockTrack, you can display location data by selecting one of StockTrack’s location fields as a custom product field in Pick List settings.
You can choose to show:
- StockTrack Location ID, or
- StockTrack Location Code (recommended)
This allows pickers to see where products are located during fulfillment.
Important to know
- Pick List does not automatically resolve locations
- The selected field is displayed as-is
- No additional logic or filtering is applied by Pick List
This approach keeps Pick List lightweight and predictable.
Future versions may introduce deeper StockTrack-aware behavior in Pick List, such as smarter location handling or visual tools.
Important to know
- Locations are stored per warehouse or location, not as one global field
- Other tools don’t need to know how StockTrack stores data internally
- This keeps your setup flexible and future-proof
In short
✔ One location system
✔ Works across plugins
✔ No duplication
✔ No technical setup
StockTrack locations are designed to be reused safely and intelligently throughout your WooCommerce store.
