Reorder alerts on the admin dashboard plus per-order purchase limits for WooCommerce products.

Description

Two inventory guardrails in one small plugin:

1. "Reorder needed" dashboard widget

Lists every stock-managed product whose quantity is at or below its reorder point, with SKU, current stock and threshold, sorted lowest first, with a count badge in the widget title. Out-of-stock items are highlighted in red.

The reorder point is WooCommerce's own low-stock threshold, so it is already editable in both places you'd expect:

• Per product: Product data → Inventory → "Low stock threshold"
• Store-wide default: WooCommerce → Settings → Products → Inventory → "Low stock threshold"

The list is computed with two plain SQL queries against the product lookup table (no product objects) and cached for 15 minutes; any stock change or product edit clears the cache immediately.

2. Per-order purchase limit

Caps how many units of any one product a customer can buy in a single order.

• Store-wide default: WooCommerce → Settings → Products → Inventory → "Max quantity per order" (blank = no limit)
• Per product override: Product data → Inventory → "Max quantity per order" (blank = use store default, 0 = no limit for this product)

Enforced server-side when adding to cart (including ?add-to-cart= URLs and the Store API), when changing quantities in the cart, and again at cart/checkout as a safety net. The quantity selectors on product and cart pages are capped to match. For variable products the limit applies to all variations combined.

Self-updates from GitHub Releases.

Configuration

1. WooCommerce → Settings → Products → Inventory → set "Max quantity per order" (and adjust "Low stock threshold" if needed).
2. Optionally override either value on individual products under Product data → Inventory.
