📖 Detailed Overview

After placing an order, customers naturally want to know when their package will arrive and where it is in the delivery process. Without accessible tracking information, they may need to contact the store repeatedly for updates.

Shipping Details Plugin for WooCommerce provides a convenient way to attach shipment information to WooCommerce orders. Store administrators can add tracking numbers and courier details so customers have useful delivery information available after their purchase.

📦 Add Tracking Information to Orders

When an order is ready for shipment, administrators can add the relevant tracking information to the order. This creates a central location for shipment details within the WooCommerce order workflow.

Depending on the configured setup, tracking numbers can be accompanied by carrier information or tracking destinations.

🚚 Manage Different Shipping Carriers

Online stores may use several logistics providers depending on destination, product type, shipping method, or fulfillment location.

The plugin supports workflows involving multiple carriers and can accommodate custom courier information where the available settings allow it. This provides greater flexibility than relying on a single predefined shipping provider.

📧 Keep Customers Informed

Customers should not have to contact support simply to ask whether their package has shipped.

By including available shipment information in customer-facing order communications, stores can make delivery updates easier to access. Automatic notifications depend on the plugin configuration and the underlying WooCommerce/WordPress email system.

👤 Improve the Post-Purchase Experience

The customer relationship does not end when checkout is completed. Clear shipping information can make the period between purchase and delivery more transparent.

When customers can access relevant tracking information from their account or order communications, they have a clearer understanding of what is happening with their order.

⚙️ Simplify Order Administration

Rather than maintaining tracking information separately from WooCommerce, administrators can work with shipment details as part of their existing order-management process.

This can help keep order and delivery information organized and reduce repetitive manual communication.
