What it does
Add CC or BCC recipients to WooCommerce order emails—only when the order contains certain products or categories. GoUp Conditional Email CC/BCC copies the right internal teams, suppliers, and fulfilment partners on selected WooCommerce transactional emails. Build rules around purchased products, variations, categories, email types, and optional order statuses while leaving the original To recipient, email template, and WooCommerce sending workflow unchanged.
Step-by-step guide: How to Add CC and BCC Recipients to WooCommerce Order Emails (All Orders or by Product)
Screenshots
Common use cases
- BCC a florist when a processing email contains products from the Flowers category
- Copy a fulfilment department on orders containing a specific product variation
- Notify an internal team only for completed orders in a selected category
- Add an archive mailbox to selected operational emails without sending a duplicate message
Features
- Match products, exact variations, product categories, and optional child categories
- Target dynamically discovered WooCommerce email types with an optional order-status restriction
- Add multiple CC and BCC recipients without changing the primary To recipient
- Combine matching rules safely with case-insensitive deduplication and BCC precedence
- Apply rules to automatic emails and compatible manual WooCommerce resends
- Use a no-send rule tester, JSON import/export, sanitized diagnostics, and optional privacy-safe logging
How it works
- Download the plugin ZIP from your GoUpWP account.
- Upload, install, and activate it through Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Open WooCommerce → Conditional Email CC/BCC and select Add Rule.
- Choose products or categories, email types, optional status conditions, and CC/BCC recipients, then enable and test the rule.

Frequently asked questions
How do I add a BCC to WooCommerce order emails?
Create a rule, choose the email types (New Order, Processing Order, Completed Order, and so on), and enter the BCC address. Add a product or category condition if only some orders should be copied, or leave conditions empty to BCC every email of that type.
Does this change the main WooCommerce email recipient?
No. The primary To recipient remains untouched. The plugin only appends validated CC and BCC headers to the email WooCommerce is already sending.
Does the plugin send a second email?
No. It does not call wp_mail() for rule delivery or create a standalone message, so the normal WooCommerce email remains the single send.
What happens when several rules match?
All matching rules contribute recipients. Addresses are deduplicated case-insensitively, and BCC wins when the same GoUp recipient appears in both CC and BCC.
Does it guarantee email delivery?
No. SMTP configuration, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and inbox placement remain the responsibility of the store and its mail provider.
How do the GoUp email plugins work together?
Each plugin evaluates its own focused routing rules. Recipient-routing plugins adjust their intended WooCommerce messages, while Supplier Order Notifications sends separate supplier-specific messages; test overlapping rules with a representative order before launch.

Changelog
1.0.5 27 September 2026 · tested with WordPress 7.1
- Reliability: transactional emails now keep their original headers if rule evaluation or a third-party extension fails, with a sanitized diagnostic warning instead of a broken send.
- Performance: skip order-item and category analysis when no active rule targets the current email type, and cache discovered email types/statuses during the request.
- Rule integrity: enabled rules can no longer be saved with missing products, categories, email types or order statuses; disabled rules preserve unavailable references for repair.
- Import safety: verify actual upload size and upload status, reject malformed JSON, unsupported schemas and files over 500 rules instead of silently truncating them, while supporting valid empty exports.
- Delivery safety: normalize CC/BCC overlap, limit each rule to 100 unique recipients and cap one email at 200 added recipients to prevent accidental mail amplification.
- Administration: order diagnostics require permission for the selected order, unknown actions fail honestly, duplicate import IDs are preserved with new IDs, and logging uses an explicit safe context allowlist.

- GoUpWP admin identity: every plugin screen now opens with a GoUpWP header showing the plugin name, version, documentation, support and licence status.

1.0.3 20 September 2026 · tested with WordPress 7.1
