Keep operations simple
Avoid child orders and duplicate payment workflows while retaining one WooCommerce order and one financial record.
A product by Open Doors Technology Limited
Manage mixed-release orders without splitting the WooCommerce order.
Ready & Release for WooCommerce helps stores communicate future product release timing and provides an operational fulfilment workflow for mixed orders containing ready-to-dispatch and future-release products.
Ready & Release Lite provides release timing and read-only staff visibility. Ready & Release Pro adds internal fulfilment groups, scheduling, tracking, shipment workflows, and group-aware customer communication.
One order. One payment. A clearer delivery plan.
Ready & Release Pro uses internal fulfilment groups to give your team a clearer plan while preserving the customer’s order and payment.
One WooCommerce order
One payment
Pro: internal fulfilment groups
Built for mixed-release orders
A customer may buy an in-stock product alongside a product that cannot be released until a later date. Standard WooCommerce order handling can make that difficult to manage without creating duplicate orders, duplicate payment workflows, or manual workarounds.
Ready & Release keeps the financial and customer order record together while giving your team a clearer fulfilment plan for ready and future-release items.
Ready & Release Pro
A practical fulfilment workflow for one parent order
These capabilities are provided by Ready & Release Pro.
Manage release timing
Create internal fulfilment groups for ready and future-release items. Scheduled groups become ready at their configured release time.
Keep fulfilment records clear
Each fulfilment group records its items and release timing when the order is processed, helping preserve a consistent fulfilment record if product settings change later.
Record tracking per fulfilment group
Add carrier and tracking details to each group through native WooCommerce order-editor controls.
Keep customers informed
Show a clear delivery plan and provide group-aware shipment communication without exposing internal administrative notes.

What Ready & Release does not do
- It does not create child orders or split payments.
- It does not alter checkout totals or calculate separate shipping charges.
- It does not replace your carrier, warehouse, 3PL, WMS, or ERP system.
- It does not send telemetry or use remote licence validation.
Fits alongside your existing fulfilment process
Continue using your existing carrier, shipping-label platform, warehouse, 3PL, WMS, or ERP.
Ready & Release Pro provides the mixed-order fulfilment structure within WooCommerce: it identifies which order items are ready and which remain scheduled until their release date. Your team can then continue using its normal dispatch and warehouse process.
Version 1 supports manual tracking entry for each fulfilment group.
