WooCommerce Multiple Email Recipients v1.2.14

The WooCommerce Multiple Email Recipients allows for a single email address to receive new order notifications by default. This can be limiting for stores requiring alerts to be sent to multiple staff members or departments. Managing this efficiently is crucial for timely order processing and customer service. A common solution is to use a plugin designed to add multiple recipients.

Several dedicated plugins exist to address this specific need. These plugins typically add a settings field within the WooCommerce email configuration panel. In this field, you can enter a comma-separated list of email addresses. Every time a new order is placed, all specified emails will receive the notification simultaneously.

An alternative method involves adding a custom code snippet to your site’s functions.php file. This approach requires modifying the ‘woocommerce_email_recipient_new_order’ filter hook. The code can check conditions and append additional email addresses to the recipient list. This method offers more control but requires comfort with basic coding.

Choosing between a plugin and custom code depends on your technical expertise and needs. A plugin provides a user-friendly interface and is easier to manage for most users. Custom code is lightweight and can be tailored for complex scenarios. Both methods effectively ensure that sales, management, and fulfillment teams all receive immediate order alerts.
