Shipment Tracking for WordPress
Adds tracking numbers to orders with carrier links and an automatic customer email.
Shipment Tracking, in practice.
One order can carry several tracking entries for partial shipments, with six pre-seeded carriers whose URL templates turn a number into a live link. Adding the first entry can flip the order to shipped and write an order note; every entry can email the customer. Shipments show on the admin order and the customer’s account.
Talks to: Carrier tracking links (no API calls)
- Multiple tracking entries per order
- Six pre-seeded carriers — UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, Royal Mail, Australia Post — plus Other
- Optional auto-mark-shipped on the first entry, with an audit note
- Optional customer notification email
- Duplicate entries return the existing row instead of re-emailing
- Customers see only their own shipments
- Deleting the last shipment reverts the fulfillment status

Turn it off without losing anything
Disable the add-on from the same screen. Its settings and data stay in place, and a lapsed license pauses it the same way — the store keeps running.
Part of the physical products story.

About Shipment Tracking.
Does it call carrier APIs for live status?
No. It stores the number and builds a link from a per-carrier URL template.
Can one order have several tracking numbers?
Yes — designed for partial shipments. Only the first entry flips the order to shipped.
Can a customer see someone else’s tracking?
No. Non-staff callers must own the order or the request is refused.
Also on the same license.
