What it does
Customers who can't see where their package is tend to email the store, and answering those messages one by one takes time. This plugin connects your shop to AfterShip's tracking network using your AfterShip API key. The short description says it syncs with over 500 carriers, so you can pick the courier that matches each shipment. Once a tracking number is saved, the plugin keeps the status updated on its own, which means fewer repetitive questions about order status.
The work happens inside the WooCommerce order details page you already use. Admins enter the courier and tracking number there, and the plugin handles the rest by pulling in status changes and showing them on the customer's order page as a visual timeline. For stores that want tracking available elsewhere, the [wcafw_order_status] shortcode places an order tracking form on any page, so visitors can look up their order status without opening their account. It requires WooCommerce.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores shipping physical products
- Shops using several courier companies
