Question from Tim from North Carolina
Is there a way to have multiple WooCommerce sites but have all the orders go to one single backend or a CRM plugin that all orders are in one WordPress backend? I can't figure out how to do this.

Answer:
You need to check out the new Woo MultiStore plugin. https://woomultistore.com/ It allows you a whole lot of different options to use one single store as your checkout, even if you have hundreds of domains that have different products listed on them.

Publish and Manage Products
Manage and publish products across a WordPress multiSite environment with multiple web shops at different domains, sub domains or sub directories. There is a main product manage panel where you can manage all products for all the stores. Still, at each store you can manage other store specific products.

Manage Stock
The stock management is handled automatically. You have the option to synchronize the stock quantity of the same products across all your stores. If you need the stores to have different stock quantities that’s also possible.

Manage Orders
Order management is made simple as the WooCommerce Multistore plugin uses one main order panel – displaying orders from all the shops.

Export Orders
Orders can be exported to CSV or XLS files. You can also choose to export all orders or only orders from single shops

Each store can use a different language, currency, payment options, in addition to other options that are included in a standard standalone WooCommerce store. You can even have different product descriptions for each store.

Unique product stock management for an easy inventory evaluation. The stock synchronization option allows you to synchronize the stock values of the same products across all the stores in the network.

This is a premium plugin, but I'm sure you will agree it does everything you want and then some. Well worth the cost.

This plugin lets you easily create custom page templates for WooCommerce Products. It lets you convert product pages into Landing Pages and a lot more. Do you want to add a Left or Right Sidebar to a Product Page? This plugin makes it easy to do. Want to add sidebars above or below the product description? This one has you covered. The product pages generally look really bad out of the box in WooCommerce.
