Change stock email notifications recipient in WooCommerce


This can be set at the Woocommerce settings page.

Admin -> Woocommerce -> Settings -> Products -> Inventory

Its a bit hidden but its there.


To change stock email recipient, try the following:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_recipient_backorder', 'change_stock_email_recipient', 10, 2 ); // For Backorders notificationadd_filter( 'woocommerce_email_recipient_low_stock', 'change_stock_email_recipient', 10, 2 ); // For Low stock notificationadd_filter( 'woocommerce_email_recipient_no_stock', 'change_stock_email_recipient', 10, 2 ); // For No stock notificationfunction change_stock_email_recipient( $recipient, $product ) {    // HERE set your replacement email    $recipient = 'thename@email.com';    return $recipient;}

Code goes on function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). It should works.


This apparently has to be done in the database directly as there is no backend option to change this and woocommerce apparently simply uses the admin e-mail address from the time it's installed. simply search the table wp_options (or different if you chose another prefix than wp_ for your tables) for the option_name: woocommerce_stock_email_recipient and change it to the new one.
