What it does
Stores that use Shipwire for fulfillment often end up copying orders, stock counts and tracking numbers between two systems by hand. That takes time and invites mistakes. This plugin links WooCommerce to Shipwire so paid orders are exported automatically, inventory levels update from Shipwire stock, and shipment tracking flows back into your store. You can schedule recurring syncs every few minutes, and you get email alerts when an order export fails, so problems surface quickly.
It requires WooCommerce and fits stores of many sizes that ship through Shipwire's network. It also handles less tidy situations. Split orders let some products go through Shipwire while others ship locally, returns can be processed from your WooCommerce dashboard, and serial number scanning helps sellers of serialized goods such as electronics. Customers see tracking details in their account and in order completed emails, and canceling an order in WooCommerce cancels it in Shipwire too.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores that fulfill orders through Shipwire
- Shops shipping some items locally and others via Shipwire
- Electronics sellers tracking serialized products
Features
Live Shipwire shipping rates
Shows Shipwire shipping quotes at checkout, with optional delivery time estimates added to each quote so customers know roughly when to expect their order.
Automatic order export
Paid orders are sent to Shipwire automatically for fulfillment, and you can also export multiple orders at once in bulk when you need to.
Inventory and tracking sync

Split order support
Lets some products in an order be fulfilled through Shipwire while other items are handled and shipped locally by your own team.
Customer tracking details
Adds tracking information to the customer's account section and to order completed emails, so shoppers can follow their shipments without contacting you.
Returns and cancellations
Process Shipwire returns from your WooCommerce dashboard, and orders canceled in WooCommerce are canceled in Shipwire automatically to keep records consistent.
Serial number scanning

Questions about WooCommerce Shipwire
Do I need WooCommerce for this plugin to work?
Yes. The plugin is a WooCommerce extension that connects your WooCommerce store to Shipwire, so WooCommerce must be running on your site. You will also need a Shipwire account, since that is where orders are fulfilled.
Can I ship some products myself and send others to Shipwire?
Yes. Split order support lets certain products be fulfilled through Shipwire while other items in the same store are handled locally, which helps when only part of your catalog is stocked in Shipwire's fulfillment centers.
How do customers see their tracking information?
Tracking details pulled from Shipwire appear in the customer's account section and in the order completed email. You can also view order and shipment tracking from the WooCommerce admin when answering customer questions.
What happens if an order fails to export to Shipwire?
The plugin sends an email alert when an order export fails, so you can spot the problem and fix it. You can also export orders manually, including several at once with bulk export.
