Troubleshooting: Split Results Look Wrong

Troubleshoot WooCommerce order split results that look wrong, including missing items, unexpected quantities, or incorrect child orders.

Applies to 1.7.3+ Stable Verified July 29, 2026

Unexpected split results usually come from product setup, selected split mode, shipping settings, or notification settings.

Check Product Data

If splitting by category, tag, attribute, stock status, vendor, or bundle, confirm the product has the expected data before placing the order.

Check Product Group Settings

If group splitting is selected, confirm the products are selected in Product group. Empty or outdated groups can make the split look incorrect.

Check Shipping Fee Behavior

If Excluded fee is enabled, split orders will not receive shipping charges. If disabled, the plugin copies or recalculates shipping depending on the split.

Check Status Settings

Original and split order status settings can make orders look like they skipped a workflow. Review Original order status and Split order status.

Check Bundles and Mix-and-Match Products

Bundle and Mix and Match products can have parent/child line items. Test these product types separately before enabling automation for them.
