Stripe Tracking

The PayPal Tracking integration for WooCommerce allows you to link your WooCommerce store to the Stripe Tracking API. This integration will automatically transfer the tracking number, shipping provider, and shipment status from WooCommerce to Stripe transactions when orders are marked as “Shipped/Completed”. This information will be displayed in the shipping section of the Stripe Transaction.

How it works

• Obtain your Stripe Tracking API keys:
  • The first step is to obtain your Stripe Tracking API keys and enter them into the extension’s settings.
• Add tracking information to the order and change the order status:
  • To export tracking information to Stripe transactions, you need to add the tracking information to an order in WooCommerce and change the order status to “Completed (Shipped)”.
• Export tracking information to Stripe:
  • Once you have added the tracking information and changed the order status, the tracking information will be exported to the corresponding Stripe transaction. The tracking information will be displayed in the “Shipping Information” section of the Stripe transaction.
• Update shipment status with TrackShip:
  • If you use TrackShip to track your orders, the shipment status on the Stripe transaction will be updated to “Delivered” once the order is delivered to the customer. This will happen automatically once the shipment status is updated in TrackShip.
• Delete tracking information from an order:
  • If you delete the tracking information from an order after it has been shipped, the plugin will update Stripe and cancel the shipment. This is to ensure that the tracking information in Stripe is always accurate and up-to-date.

The Display of Tracking Information on Stripe Transactions

When you update an order with a tracking number and change the order status to Shipped (Completed), the tracking information is automatically exported to Stripe and can be viewed in the Shipping Details section of the corresponding Stripe transaction.

Settings

The Stripe Tracking settings can be found in the WooCommerce > Shipment Tracking > Stripe Tracking section of your store’s administration panel.

• Enable Stripe Tracking – Enable this option to synchronize tracking information between your store and Stripe transactions. When you fulfill an order and add tracking information, the tracking number, shipping provider, and date will be sent to the corresponding Stripe transaction. If you later delete the tracking information from an order, the plugin will update Stripe accordingly and cancel the shipment.
• Enable Sandbox – If you are using the Stripe Sandbox for testing purposes, enable this option.
• Client ID – Enter your Stripe REST API Client ID.
• Client Secret – Enter your Stripe REST API Client Secret. Information on how to obtain these keys can be found in the “How to get the Stripe Tracking API keys” section.
• Stripe Payment Methods – Select the Stripe payment methods for which you want to synchronize tracking information with the Stripe Tracking API.
• Send Email to Customer from Stripe – If you want to send an email notification to your customer when tracking information is added to their Stripe transaction, enable this option.
• Enable Logs – Enabling this option will save logs of any errors that may occur when syncing tracking information with the Stripe Tracking API. This can be helpful for troubleshooting any issues that may arise.

The Stripe Tracking integration with WooCommerce adds order notes in the order notes panel when the tracking information is exported to Stripe. Additionally, a new column labeled “Stripe Tracking” is added to the Orders Admin to display the status of the tracking export to Stripe. This allows you to easily keep track of the information sent to Stripe for each order.

Orders List – The Orders List will display that the tracking information has been exported to Stripe.

TrackShip compatibility

The integration with TrackShip allows for automatic updates to the shipment status on Stripe transactions. When the shipment status changes in TrackShip, from On Hold to Delivered for example, the extension will reflect this change on the corresponding Stripe transaction in the shipping information section.
