Order picking is where theory meets reality.
You can have clean orders, correct totals, and well-formatted pick lists — and still lose time, make mistakes, or confuse staff if the warehouse itself isn’t part of the workflow.
Pick List for WooCommerce solves how orders are picked.
StockTrack solves where inventory actually lives.
When the two work together, fulfillment stops being guesswork and becomes predictable.
The Problem: Picking Without Warehouse Context
Many WooCommerce stores rely on pick lists that show what to pick, but not where to pick it from.
That works at first.
Then the store grows.
Suddenly:
- Products are stored in multiple areas
- Variations live on different shelves
- New staff don’t know the warehouse layout
- Orders require items from several locations
At that point, picking becomes slower, not faster.
The missing piece is warehouse context.
What Changes When StockTrack Is Installed
Pick List automatically detects when StockTrack is installed.
No manual integration.
No syncing.
No extra steps for daily use.
Once StockTrack is active, Pick List gains location awareness directly inside the Pick Order workflow.
Clear Feedback in the Pick Order View
When opening an order in Pick List, one of two things happens:
If no fulfillment location is set
Pick List shows a clear notice:
This order has no fulfillment location
You’re given a direct option to set the location before picking starts.
This prevents:
- picking from the wrong warehouse
- partial picking from mixed locations
- assumptions that lead to errors
If a fulfillment location is set
The Pick Order view becomes warehouse-aware:
- “Picking from: Location name” is clearly displayed
- A View in Warehouse Map button is available
- Each product shows its assigned location
- Local stock quantity is visible per item and variation
Everything the picker needs is visible at the moment it matters.
Seeing Orders on the Warehouse Map
Sometimes text isn’t enough.
That’s where the Warehouse Map comes in.
From the Pick Order view, you can open the Warehouse Map for the current order.
When opened this way:
- The correct warehouse loads automatically
- All locations used by the order are highlighted
- Locations briefly blink, making them easy to spot
- Quantities per location match the order
This is especially useful when:
- orders span multiple areas
- staff are new
- the warehouse layout is large or complex
Instead of explaining location codes, you can show where to go.
Accurate Picking with Local Stock Quantities
StockTrack tracks stock per location, not just totals.
Inside Pick List, this means:
- Pickers see local stock, not just global stock
- Variations show correct locations and quantities
- You avoid picking from empty or incorrect shelves
This reduces:
- backtracking
- interrupted picking flows
- manual checks outside WooCommerce
Smart, Flexible Configuration
Pick List doesn’t assume how you want to reference locations.
In the settings, under Product fields / custom fields, you can choose:
- StockTrack Location Code
- or StockTrack Location ID
Fields are clearly labeled as StockTrack fields, so setup is transparent and predictable.
Once configured, no further adjustments are needed for daily operations.
Why This Matters in Real Fulfillment
This integration isn’t about adding more features.
It’s about removing friction.
Together, Pick List and StockTrack help you:
- start picking from the correct location every time
- reduce picking errors caused by missing context
- onboard new staff faster
- scale warehouse operations without chaos
Picking becomes a guided process, not a guessing game.
Who This Setup Is For
This workflow is especially valuable if you:
- manage a physical warehouse
- use shelves, rows, or zones
- have more than one staff member picking orders
- handle growing order volumes
- want fewer interruptions during fulfillment
If your store is moving beyond “small shop” operations, this setup quickly pays for itself.
From Orders to Real Warehouse Fulfillment
Pick List handles the picking process.
StockTrack brings the warehouse into the picture.
Together, they close the gap between WooCommerce orders and real-world fulfillment — without replacing core WooCommerce functionality or adding unnecessary complexity.
It’s a natural next step for stores that want accuracy, clarity, and control in their warehouse workflows.
