Prepare the supplier order
Create the purchase-order paperwork from the WooCommerce order.
Follow each supplier
Track supplier progress with chase, track and cancel actions.
Plan the dispatch
Use warehouse views to decide what is ready and what still needs attention.
Illustrative use case based on the reference build. Configuration depends on your site.
What it does.
Once a store drop-ships or orders in from suppliers, WooCommerce runs out of road. Purchase orders live in email threads, chasing suppliers is a memory game, and dispatch planning happens on paper.
Order Manager grew inside our own motorsport group, feature by feature, around how a real warehouse day works. Supplier POs go out as PDFs straight from the order screen, every order shows what has been ordered and chased, and overdue suppliers get chased automatically if you want them to be.
It is the deepest plugin we have, which is why the subscription includes us installing and configuring it around your suppliers rather than handing you a zip.

Before you get started.
Answers about the build, the setup and what to check.
Why early access?
It has run our own stores for months, but every business orders differently, so we set each new store up personally and shape the rough edges as we go. Early access pricing reflects that.
What does setup involve?
A short call about how you order from suppliers, then we install it, load your suppliers and templates, and stay close for the first weeks.
What should I check before using this?
Supplier details, email wording and any automatic chasing rules are configured and tested with you. Automation should follow your agreed purchasing process.
How is this supplied?
This subscription includes a managed installation. We agree the connection and configuration with you before launching it on the store.
Will it work with my current setup?
The catalogue requirements are WordPress 6.0+, WooCommerce 7.0+. Check your theme, connected plugins and the workflow described above. Send us your site and the integrations you use if you need a compatibility review.
Is this part of the Penguin Toolkit?
Yes. The Toolkit covers subscribable plugins for up to five stores. An individual subscription covers one store.
