Hi,

I have two one-to-many related post types: Seller and Product.
I'm using WooCommerce as my E-Commerce plugin.
I want to send an email to the Seller of a Product when the product is sold.

To send the notifications I'm using Notification plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/notification/)
The Notification plugin allows me send emails to an email address that I have in a Product custom field using this merge tag: {postmeta {product_ID} seller-email}
See image attached.

I have set the Notification plugin set to send an email when the product is sold.

My question is: Is the Seller (Parent) custom field seller-email stored somewhere in the Product meta so I can retrieve using a meta key or merge tag?

Otherwise the Seller to Product relationship works beautifully.

I attached some images to illustrate what I'm trying to do.
