PayPal Tracking

The PayPal Tracking feature lets you automatically sync tracking information from WooCommerce to PayPal when orders are marked as Completed (Shipped). This helps reduce disputes and ensures your PayPal transactions always reflect accurate delivery status.

🔧 How It Works

1. Add Tracking in WooCommerce
   Add a tracking number to an order and change its status to Completed or Shipped.
2. Tracking is Sent to PayPal
   AST PRO automatically exports the tracking number, shipping carrier, and status to the PayPal transaction.
3. Automatic Shipment Updates with TrackShip
   If you’re using TrackShip, the shipment status (e.g., Delivered) will be updated on PayPal once the package is delivered.
