The simple, lightweight solution for intelligent order routing and *confidential* notification. Perfect for stores with multiple drop shippers, vendors, and internal monitoring needs!
The **CC/BCC Per Category** plugin by www.advergroup.com is the definitive tool for any WooCommerce store that must route order notifications to specific team members or external vendors based on the product category. Now featuring both CC and BCC fields, you gain complete control over who sees which recipients.
🎯 Core Functionality: Precision Email Routing (CC vs. BCC)
This plugin solves the critical challenge of ensuring the right vendors, fulfillment centers, or auditors receive order emails without exposing all recipient addresses. It automatically includes addresses in the new order notification, but only when a product from their assigned category is purchased.
- Category-Specific Fields: Assign custom emails to any WooCommerce Product Category using dedicated fields for CC and BCC.
- CC (Carbon Copy) Routing: Use this field for **Vendors and Fulfillment Teams** who need to see the main recipients (like the store admin) and other vendors who handle different parts of the order. All recipients will see this address.
- BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) Monitoring: Use this field for **Auditing, Accounting, or Private Monitoring**. This recipient gets the full order email, but their address is hidden from all other recipients (the customer, the main admin, and any CC addresses).
- Intelligent Scanning: If an order contains products from five different categories, all unique CC and BCC addresses from those five categories are automatically merged and added to the order email headers.
💡 Why CC/BCC Per Category is **Perfect for Drop Shipping & Auditing**
1. Streamline Vendor Fulfillment (CC)
Use the **CC** field to instantly notify your specific drop shippers when a product from their category is sold. This is the fastest way to initiate fulfillment and ensures they see who else is being notified (e.g., your main fulfillment admin).
2. Confidential Monitoring (BCC)
Use the **BCC** field for confidential purposes. For example:
- Route all high-value category orders to an **Audit** email address without notifying the vendor that the audit is taking place.
- Send order copies to a **private accounting system** or a CRM that logs sales, without cluttering the main vendor’s notification.
3. Simple Setup and Scalability
Managing multiple vendors or departments is straightforward. Simply create a category for each vendor/department (e.g., “Vendor A’s Products,” “Internal Sales Team,” “High-Value Line”) and assign their email address(es) to the appropriate CC or BCC field in the category settings. The plugin handles the complex header formatting automatically.
