Description
Who This Is Built For
Store owners who have moved past the point of typing a tracking number into an email by hand will feel the relief of this plugin almost immediately. If you run a WooCommerce store shipping five orders a day or five thousand, if you manage a warehouse team entering tracking in batches, or if you coordinate with a 3PL that writes CSV files to an FTP folder every night, Advanced Shipment Tracking Pro was built around how your fulfillment actually happens rather than how a generic plugin imagines it should happen.
It also suits multi-vendor marketplaces running Dokan, WCFM or WC Vendors, where individual sellers need to fulfill their own orders without someone else standing between them and the customer. Stores that lean on fulfillment services like ShipStation, Sendcloud, Shippo or EasyPost will find a plugin that slots in next to those tools instead of competing with them. And any merchant tired of PayPal holding funds over “Item Not Received” claims has a direct reason to look at what this plugin does with tracking sync.
What Advanced Shipment Tracking Pro Does
At its core, Advanced Shipment Tracking Pro is the fulfillment manager for WooCommerce — the layer that sits between buying a shipping label and telling your customer where their parcel actually is. It doesn’t calculate rates or print labels itself. Instead, it owns everything that happens after the label exists: recording the tracking number, moving the order through its stages, and notifying the customer in a way that matches your brand.
Tracking numbers can arrive through almost any workflow a fulfillment team could want. Add them one at a time from the order edit screen, paste rows in bulk when you’re processing a batch, upload a CSV from your warehouse software, or set up a scheduled FTP or SFTP import that collects files automatically from a folder your 3PL writes to. Systems that prefer to push data instead of waiting to be pulled from can use the Shipment Tracking REST API. However the number gets in, the result is consistent: the order status updates and the customer gets notified the same way every time.
The fulfillment dashboard gives you a single screen listing every order still waiting to ship, which matters more than it sounds once your order volume grows past the point where scrolling through the main WooCommerce orders list is practical. From there you can add tracking directly, print packing lists and picking lists, and watch orders move out of the “unshipped” pile in real time.
Key Capabilities
- Multiple ways to add tracking — manual entry, bulk paste, CSV import, scheduled FTP/SFTP, or the REST API, so the method matches your actual operation instead of forcing you into one workflow
- Over 1,020 supported carriers, each with its own tracking link format, plus the option to add a custom carrier with your own tracking URL and logo for white-label or regional couriers not already listed
- Carrier list control — reorder manually or sort alphabetically, and filter by country so staff only see carriers relevant to where you actually ship
- Partial shipment support, complete with its own order status and a dedicated customer email, for orders that go out in more than one box
- Custom order statuses — rename “Completed” to “Shipped,” set up “Partially Shipped,” or build statuses that match your internal fulfillment stages
- Packing lists and picking lists formatted for printing, useful for warehouse staff working through a batch of orders
- Branded notification emails — separate templates for shipment, partial shipment, and delivery, built with an email customizer that shows a live preview as you adjust it
- Three tracking widget designs so the tracking information shown in emails and on the My Account page actually looks like it belongs to your store
- Tracking visibility for customers on both the My Account order page and the order confirmation page, cutting down on “where is my order” messages
- PayPal and Stripe tracking sync, which can help release held funds faster and reduce “Item Not Received” disputes, with bulk export to PayPal for stores catching up on a backlog
- Multi-vendor compatibility with Dokan, WCFM and WC Vendors, letting individual vendors fulfill and track their own orders
- Integration with fulfillment and automation tools including ShipStation, ShipWorks, Dianxiaomi, ReadyToShip, AutomateWoo, ShopMagic, PDF invoice plugins, and the WooCommerce order notes API
Getting Results
The practical payoff of running the Advanced Shipment Tracking Pro WordPress plugin shows up in a few places you can actually measure. Fewer support emails asking where an order is, because the tracking widget on the My Account page and in the confirmation email already answers that question. Fewer payment disputes, because PayPal and Stripe already have the tracking number synced before a customer thinks to open a case. Faster warehouse turnaround, because picking lists are ready to print and tracking import runs on a schedule instead of waiting on someone to log in and upload a file.
For a store doing low volume, the manual entry and bulk paste tools are probably all you’ll ever touch. For a warehouse or 3PL relationship, the scheduled FTP/SFTP import removes the daily back-and-forth of sending tracking spreadsheets over email. For a marketplace built on Dokan or WCFM, vendors handling their own fulfillment means the store owner isn’t the bottleneck for every tracking number entered. Each of these is a different shape of business, and the plugin bends to fit rather than asking the business to bend to it.
None of this requires abandoning tools already in place. The plugin is explicit about staying in its lane — it doesn’t replace your label-buying or rate-calculation plugin, it picks up right where that tool leaves off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this plugin replace my shipping or label plugin?
No, and it isn’t trying to. Advanced Shipment Tracking Pro works alongside whatever tool you already use to buy labels or calculate rates. It takes over the next step: recording the tracking number once a label exists, updating the order, and notifying the customer.
Can tracking numbers be imported directly from a warehouse system?
Yes. You can upload a CSV manually, or point a scheduled FTP or SFTP import at the folder your warehouse or 3PL writes to, and the plugin collects the file automatically on its schedule. For systems that prefer to send data rather than have it pulled, the REST API handles that too.
What happens to tracking data if I deactivate the plugin?
Deactivating removes nothing. Your tracking records stay exactly where they are in the database. Data is only deleted if you explicitly choose that option during uninstall.
If I’m upgrading from the free version, do I keep my existing tracking history?
Yes. The Pro version reads the same underlying tracking data as the free plugin, so anything already recorded against your orders carries over without needing to be re-entered.
Is this plugin released under the GPL license?
Yes. Advanced Shipment Tracking Pro is distributed under the GPL, consistent with the licensing terms you’d expect from a WordPress plugin built to work inside the broader WordPress and WooCommerce ecosystem.
