Docs Advanced Shipment Tracking Enable Shipping Carriers

Enable Shipping Carriers

When you first install AST, no shipping carriers are enabled. Before you can add tracking numbers to orders, enable the carriers your store actually ships with — only enabled carriers appear in the dropdown on the add tracking form.

How to enable shipping carriers

  1. Go to WooCommerce > Shipment Tracking > Shipping Carriers.
  2. Click Enable Carriers.
  3. A panel opens from the side with the full list of available carriers.
  4. Search for a carrier by name, or scroll the list to find it.
  5. Click Add next to each carrier you want to enable.
  6. The carriers you added now appear in your active carrier list and are available when you add tracking to an order.

  • You can come back to this screen at any time to add or remove carriers.
  • Can’t find your carrier? Sync the carrier list first — new carriers are added regularly.
