CUSTOMIZE EMAIL AND ORDER DETAILS HTML SNIPPET

Would you like to customize the HTML snippet included in the email Template and Order details page? It’s possible! You can customize templates directly from the admin menu.

TRACK SHIPPING PROGRESS STATUS VIA A VISUAL TIMELINE ON THE ORDER DETAILS PAGE.

The Shipping Tracking plugin allows also showing shipping progress status with a timeline directly on site. To do that just use the special [shipping_timeline] shortcode inside the Order details message through the special menu.
Once done, a tracking info widget will be displayed showing every step the shipping has performed until the current day on every Order details page!
Optionally you can show the “track in site” widget on any page. To do that just use the following shortcode with the special “track_in_site” parameter: [wcst_tracking_form track_in_site=”true”]. It will render a form where once the user has entered a tracking code, the “track in site” widget will be shown displaying the shipping progress.

TRACKING INFO ON ALL OUTGOING WOOCOMMERCE EMAILS AND ORDER DETAILS PAGE

Once the tracking info is saved on the order admin page, all the info will be displayed on the order details page. Furthermore, info will be also embedded in all outgoing woocommerce emails according to the order status. By default tracking info is only embedded in the emails only when the status is set as “completed” but you can choose to display info also for other statuses. Go to the General options menu to choose for which status(es) the info has to be embedded into the emails.
You can also specify custom statuses!
In this way, the customer can have all the needed info at his fingertips!

EMAIL NOTIFICATION FOR SELECTED TRACKING CODES

The admin can also send active notification emails by just selecting the tracking code for which he wants the user to be notified. Once selected, he has just to click on the Order update button, the plugin will then send an email containing the selected tracking codes. The tracking code email templates can be customized by using the special options menu. You can also use a shortcode to display the user’s first and last name in order to customize the message!

MULTILANGUAGE CUSTOM MESSAGES

WooCommerce Shipping Tracking supports WPML, this lets the shop admin define HTML Snippets for every language installed.
To add a message for a language, the shop admin has only to select the desired language in the WPML selector, enter the text and save!

QUICK ASSIGN MENU

The shop admin can now assign shipping info to an order directly using the “Quick assign” menu without editing every order. Using this menu in just a few clicks you can assign shipping info to an order, set its status, and optionally resend a status notification email to the customer!

FAVORITE SHIPPING COMPANY

You can also select a “favorite” shipping company on the options menu. This will be preselected during tracking code submission!

DELIVERY ESTIMATION FOR SHIPPING RATES

For each shipping rate defined using the native WooCommerce functionalities, the Table Rate Shipping for WooCommerce or the Table Rate Shipping by WooThemes you can define a delivery estimation.

AUTOMATIC SHIPPING ESTIMATION FOR PRODUCT

The WooCommerce Shipping Tracking plugin has another useful feature: Estimated shipping dates (shipping date: the date on which the package is delivered to the courier). The shop admin, simply using a shortcode or setting the automatic estimated date display option (in the plugin options menu), can show on product pages the estimated shipping date. This is calculated automatically on the basis of the “Estimation rule” that matches that product. The plugin can show both a specific shipping date and a date range in which the product will be shown.
Furthermore, if the product is out of stock, the estimated date will not be displayed!


Optionally estimated dates can be also shown on the Cart/Checkout pages after each item showed in the product table. To do just enable the special option you find in the plugin options menu.


Last but not least, you can also configure a customized label (translatable via WPML) to be displayed before the estimated date!


How does it work? it’s simple! You have only to do two steps:


FIRST STEP: Estimated dates configuration Using the “Estimated shipping configurator” under the “Shipping tracking” menu, the shop admin can create multiple “Estimation rules”.
For each of them he can select:

1. Products / Categories / Tags: Selection of products, categories, or tags to which the rule applies.
2. Dispatch / Shipment days: days in which the goods are shipped/dispatched to the courier.
3. Cut-off hour: if an order is placed before that hour, the shipment takes place on the same day (if it is a dispatch/shipment day).
4. Dispatch delay: If this value is specified, the estimated date will be computed starting from the first dispatch day available after the delay (expressed in days).
5. Holidays / Non working days: days in which shipments cannot take place.

SECOND STEP: Use the shortcode (or setting the automatic estimated date option) on product page On the product page, on the description or short description or any tab, the shop admin can use the special [wcst_show_estimated_date] shortcode to display the estimated shipping date.
As an alternative, the shop admin can enable the automatic estimated date option display (in the plugin options menu).


The plugin will then calculate the date finding the “Estimation” rule that matches the item. The plugin will automatically find the next working day when the item can be shipped.
Furthermore, on the product list, a new column is added displaying the Estimated shipping rule that matches the product.

TRACKING FORM SHORTCODE

Using the special shortcode [wcst_tracking_form] a tracking form can be displayed on any post/page that will allow the user to choose the shipping company (using a select menu) and input the tracking code and be redirected to the shipping company tracking page.
The tracking code can also be used with the parameters:

1. company_id (company id can be retrieved in the company configuration page): [wcst_tracking_form company_id=”“] In this way the shipping company will be already selected (the shipping company select menu is thus hidden).
2. button_classes: [wcst_tracking_form button_classes=”class1 class2”] in this way the specified classes will be added to the tracking button.

Additionally, you can also use the special track_in_site paramenter to directly show shipping current status directly in site! read more about it in the previous Track shipping tracking in site paragraph!

WooCommerce Shipping Tracking simplifies the process of estimating product shipping and delivery dates. It enables you to conveniently assign a shipping company and tracking number to each order.
