Is there a way to mark an item that it must ship by itself and not have anything else on the sam invoice?
We sell pinball machines. We also sell accessories. We don't want the 2 things on the same invoice becuase it causes a shipping issue as we can't put the accessories in the machine box.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for reaching out,
I could provide you with a code snippet that would prevent customers from adding items from both categories to the cart at the same time, but it sounds like you're looking for something more advanced - e.g. automatic order splitting.
For order splitting functionality, this is quite complex, so I'd recommend looking for a dedicated WooCommerce order splitter plugin. If you search for plugins like "WooCommerce Order Splitter", you should find a few options that can automatically split orders based on your specific conditions.
Based on a quick search, this one might be able to handle your use case: https://woocommerce.com/products/advanced-split-order/ - it seems to support automatic splitting based on product categories, which could work here.
Unfortunately I don't have experience with any specific plugin to be able to make a solid recommendation.
Kind regards,
Stefan
