As a start, I would add a new field to products.txt to designate the
warehouse for that item. Maybe use one letter or number, or the whole name,
or whatever you like.

I would find the place where the order is sent to the store owner and add in
a few lines with some if/else statements. If warehouse=a then email =
abcd@domain.com
(that's not the right verbiage or the right syntax.) I have no idea if this
will work
