Advanced Shipment Tracking (Free)

Advanced Shipment Tracking (AST) for WooCommerce lets you add tracking information to orders and gives your customers an easy way to track them. AST helps WooCommerce shop owners manage and automate their order flow, reduce time spent on customer service and increase customer satisfaction.

Key Features

Add Tracking Information to Orders

Easily add tracking information to your orders. AST lets you add tracking from the WooCommerce orders list or from a single order, and it can mark the order as Completed at the same time.

Customize the Tracking Display in Order Emails

You can fully customize how tracking information appears in order emails and in your customers’ accounts. The customizer has a live preview, so you can choose the layout, show or hide tracking details, and edit the content, fonts and colors.

List of 1010+ Shipping Carriers

AST provides a list of 1010+ shipping carriers from around the world, each with a predefined tracking link. AST generates the tracking link sent to your customers automatically when you ship their orders. See the full shipping carriers reference.

Keep Your Tracking Links Up To Date

We maintain the carrier list for you. Sync the shipping carriers at any time to pick up new carriers and any changes to existing tracking links.

Can't Find Your Carrier?

If your carrier isn’t on the list, you can suggest it and we’ll add it. Adding your own custom carriers with your own tracking URLs is available in Advanced Shipment Tracking PRO.

WooCommerce REST API Support

AST adds a shipment tracking WooCommerce REST API endpoint, so you can update tracking information in your WooCommerce orders from any external system or shipping label service and automate your daily workflow.

Bulk Upload from CSV

If your shipper sends tracking information in files and you don’t want to add them to orders by hand, AST gives you a quick way to import tracking numbers in bulk from a CSV.

Custom Order Statuses

Improve your order management flow with custom order statuses. Enable Partially Shipped for orders you ship in separate packages at different times, or enable the Delivered status to mark orders as delivered. To have orders move to Delivered automatically, you also need TrackShip for tracking and delivery automation.

Advanced Local Pickup Pro

Kuldip Navadiya — Wed, 02 Mar 2022 05:34:07 +0000

Advanced Local Pickup Pro (ALP PRO) extends the WooCommerce Local Pickup shipping method into a complete store-pickup workflow: multiple pickup locations, pickup appointments, a dedicated order-status flow with customer notifications, a fulfillment dashboard, QR-code handoff, curbside mode, and more.

Requirements

WordPress 5.5 or higher
WooCommerce 4.0 or higher
PHP 7.4 or higher

INFO

ALP PRO works with both the classic checkout and the block-based Cart & Checkout — including the checkout block’s own “Local pickup” method (pickup_location) as well as the classic zone-based Local Pickup method. See Getting Started for which one your store uses.

Store Pickup Workflow

Customer places a pickup order — at checkout they choose a pickup location and, if appointments are enabled, a pickup date and time slot.
Processing LP — the order enters the pickup workflow (automatically, if the Processing → Processing LP automation is enabled). An optional Processing LP email with the store pickup instructions is sent.
Ready For Pickup — your team prepares the order and updates the status; the customer gets a notification that the order is ready for collection. Pickup instructions for the chosen location appear on the order received page, the view order page, and in the emails.
Picked Up — when the customer collects the order, the status changes to Picked Up: manually, or by scanning the order’s QR code with the QR Code Pickup Handoff system. An optional Picked Up notification can be sent.

What PRO Adds Over the Free Plugin

The free Advanced Local Pickup plugin covers a single pickup location with basic instructions. PRO adds:

Unlimited pickup locations with business hours, holidays, contact details, and per-location products
Pickup appointments with time slots, capacity, and preparation time
The full status workflow (Processing LP → Ready For Pickup → Picked Up) with customizable customer emails
Local Pickup (fulfillment) Dashboard and the daily “Today” pick-list board
QR Code Pickup Handoff, Curbside Pickup Mode, and the Map-Based Location Picker
Force Local Pickup per product or category, pickup per item, and mixed pickup/shipping orders

Advanced Local Pickup

Kuldip Navadiya — Wed, 02 Mar 2022 05:33:55 +0000

The Advanced Local Pickup plugin extends the WooCommerce Local Pickup shipping method to give you a complete store pickup workflow — from checkout through to customer collection.

With the free plugin you can set up one pickup location, configure business hours and special instructions, add custom order statuses (Ready for Pickup and Picked Up), and send automated email notifications to customers at each stage of the pickup process.

How does it work?

Local Pickup is a built-in WooCommerce shipping method that lets customers choose to collect their online order from your store or another location instead of having it shipped.

Advanced Local Pickup builds on top of that method to add a fulfilment workflow:

Customer selects Local Pickup at checkout and places the order.
You prepare the order and change its status to Ready for Pickup — this triggers the Ready for Pickup email to notify the customer.
The pickup instructions for your location appear on the order confirmation page and in the email.
When the customer collects the order, you change the status to Picked Up — confirming fulfilment and optionally sending a confirmation email.

Need more?

Advanced Local Pickup PRO adds multiple pickup locations, pickup per item, per-product location assignment, pickup appointments, calendar views, curbside support, and more. See the PRO documentation for details.
