An official WooCommerce extension that sends order and stock emails to extra recipients such as staff, suppliers or drop shippers. It is used by stores where different people handle different products or categories. If you only need part of it, you can get a focused plugin built for your own site and pay once.
Advanced Notifications for WooCommerce: $39 a year for one site (1-year subscription (one production site)).
Your own plugin on Pluginora: from $9 once, with 5 free changes. Try it first for $1.
What Advanced Notifications for WooCommerce does
- Extra notification recipients with names and emails
- New order, low stock, no stock and backorder notifications
- Filter by product category, shipping class or product
- Include or exclude prices and totals
- Each recipient sees only their relevant items
Free version: No.
What you can build instead
A Pluginora plugin does one job for your site. For Advanced Notifications for WooCommerce, that could be:
- Email a supplier when an order contains their category
- Show only that supplier's items, without prices
- A low-stock email to one address for selected products
A small custom plugin would not replace a recipient manager for many suppliers with different filters and notification types.

When Advanced Notifications for WooCommerce is the better choice
- You have many suppliers or staff and change recipients often
- You want recipients managed in the admin without code
- You want an official extension kept compatible with WooCommerce emails
When your own plugin makes more sense
- You use one or two of its features, not the whole package.
- You would rather pay once than renew every year.
- You want it to work exactly the way your site needs, and to change it on request.
How to get your own
- Describe it. For example: “When an order includes products in the 'Candles' category, email supplier@example.com a list of just those items and quantities, without prices.”
- See the plan and price. Ora replies with what it will build and a fixed price. Nothing is built until you approve.
- Try it for $1. Test it on a practice site for 7 days, then keep it and pay the rest once.
