WooCommerce Order Splitter

Split selected items from a WooCommerce order

Need to ship available products while others are backordered? Plugnition Order Splitter lets you select items in an existing WooCommerce order and move them into a new, linked child order from the admin order screen. The remaining items stay in the original order, so you can manage each part separately. You can also use it when items ship from different warehouses or require separate fulfillment.

Why Use Order Splitter for WooCommerce?

WooCommerce does not include a simple built-in way to split an order into multiple orders. When part of an order needs to be shipped separately, handled by another supplier, or delayed due to stock availability, store admins often have to work around the limitation manually.

This plugin gives you a clean admin-side tool to split order items while keeping a clear relationship between the original parent order and the newly created child order.

Key Features

• Split selected order items into a new WooCommerce order.
• Create child orders directly from the order edit screen.
• Preserve customer details, billing address, shipping address, currency, and payment method.
• Keep parent and child orders linked for easy tracking.
• Add automatic order notes to document the split history.
• Recalculate order totals after splitting items.
• Admin-only workflow designed for store managers and fulfillment teams.
• Lightweight implementation using WooCommerce CRUD methods.

Perfect For

• Partial shipments
• Backordered products
• Supplier-based fulfillment
• Multi-package orders
• Warehouse workflows
• Stores that need cleaner order organization

How It Works

1. Open a WooCommerce order in the admin area.
2. Select the items you want to move into a new order.
3. Click the split order button.
4. The plugin creates a new child order with the selected items.
5. The original order and child order are linked with order notes for traceability.

Parent and Child Order Tracking

After splitting an order, the original order keeps a reference to the new child order, and the child order stores a reference back to the parent order. This makes it easy to understand where each order came from and how the fulfillment process was divided.

Lightweight and Admin-Focused

We’ve built the Plugnition Order Splitter for WooCommerce to do one job clearly: help admins split order items into a separate order. It avoids unnecessary frontend features, complicated workflows, and heavy interfaces.
