DOCUMENTATION

WCST allows your clients to easily track their orders. You will be able to associate to every order a shipping company and a tracking number. WCST will display tracking info (Company URL and trackin code) directly in “Complete Order” email and “View Order” page.
Your clients just clicking on the link generated by WCST will easily track their orders. Trackin URL (where possible, if the company allows that) will automatically redirect to the comapany site where the user can automatically track the shipping status according the associated tracking code.

Note: The plugin, like WordPress, requires a minimum 5.5 PHP version.

DEFINE YOUR OWN COMPANIES

WCST has defined more tha 40 shipping companies. Don’t you find the one you need? Don’t worry!!
WCST allows you to define your own custom shipping companies (Name and Tracking URL),
just add it from WooCommerce -> Shipping tracking -> Add Custom company page

MULTIPLE TRACKING CODE, SHIPPING COMPANIES, DISPATCH DATES AND CUSTOM TEXT!

WCST allows you to associate one or more tracking codes and shipping companies for each order.
Furthermore, for every shipping can be also specified a dispatch date and custom text. In this way both the shop admin and customer can easily keep track of the shipping timings!

CUSTOMIZE EMAIL AND ORDER DETAILS HTML SNIPPET

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

Track shipment progress status with a timeline in site

The Shipping Tracking pluging allows also to show shipment progress status with a timeline directly in site. To do that just use the special [track_shipping_in_site] 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 in every Order details page!
Optionally you can show the “track in site” widget in 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 showed displaying the shipping progress.

Note: The AfterShip will tries to detect the shipping company using just the tracking code, this process however in some cases may fail. To avoid detection just pass the company slug in this way: company_slug###tracking code.
Example: dhl###28492021
Tracking companies slug can be found here: httpss://www.aftership.com/couriers . Just click in the one you need, the slug can be found in the url after the /curriers/ string.

Note: this feature is powerd by AfterShip service. It requires at least a free profile (by which you can only pefrom 100 shipping tracking per month). Info on how to connect to AfterShip profile are reported in the plugin options page (it just requires 2 steps!). The service
will automatically detect the carrier from the tracking code (if supported) without the requirement of any further code.

Once the tracking info are saved on the order admin page, all the info will be displayed in the order details page. Furthermore, info will be also embedded in all

DELIVERY ESTIMATION FOR SHIPPING RATES

Fore 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 WCST plugin has another useful feature: Estimated shippings dates (shipping date: date in which the package is delivered to the courrier). The shop admin, simply using a shortcode or setting the automatic estimted date display option (in the plugin options menu), can show on products pages the estimated shipping date. This is calculated automatically on the basis of “Estimation rule” that matches that product.
The plugin can show both a specific shipping date or a date range in which the product will be showed.

Furthermore if the product is out of stock, the estimated date will not be displayed!

Optionally estimated date can be also showed in 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 (translable via WPML) to be showed before the estimated date!

How it works? 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:

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

SECOND STEP: Use the shortcode (or setting the automatic estimted date option) on product page
In 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.
In alternative the shop admin can enable the the automatic estimted date option display (in the plugin options menu).

The plugin will tehn calculate the date finding the “Estimation” rule that matches the item. The plugin will automatically find the next working day where the item can be shipped.
Further more, 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 in any post/page that will allow the user to choose the shipping company (using a select menu) and input the tracking code and to be redirected to the shipping company tracking page.
The tracking code can also be used with the parameters:

company_id (company id can be retreived 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).
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!

Retrieve order tracking data programmatically

To retrieve order tracking data programmatically you can use the special wcst_get_order_tracking_data($order_id) function that will retrieve all the tracking data associated to the order.
The result will be an array that will have the following format:

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  array(6) {
    ["tracking_number"]=>
    string(5) "12332" 
    ["dispatch_date"]=>
    string(0) "" 
    ["custom_text"]=>
    string(0) "" 
    ["company_name"]=>
    string(6) "Aramex" 
    ["company_id"]=>
    string(6) "ARAMEX" 
    ["tracking_url"]=>
    string(70) "http://www.aramex.com/track_results_multiple.aspx?ShipmentNumber=12332" 
  }
  [1]=>
  array(6) {
    ["tracking_number"]=>
    string(5) "12312" 
    ["dispatch_date"]=>
    string(10) "2019-01-08" 
    ["custom_text"]=>
    string(2) "aa" 
    ["company_name"]=>
    string(15) "Correos España" 
    ["company_id"]=>
    string(14) "CORREOSESPAGNA" 
    ["tracking_url"]=>
    string(128) "http://www.correos.es/ss/Satellite/site/aplicacion-4000003383089-localiza_busca_encuentra/detalle_app-sidioma=es_ES?numero=12312" 
  }
}

In the previous example the order has associated two tracking codes.

Actions and Hooks

The plugin triggers two action before and after sending an active notification email. The can be hooked in the following way:

add_action('wcst_before_active_notofication_email', 'your_custom_function_name', 10, 2);
function your_custom_function_name($recipients, $order)
{
   [...]
}

and

add_action('wcst_after_active_notofication_email', 'your_custom_function_name', 10, 2);
function your_custom_function_name($recipients, $order)
{
    [...]
}

AFTERSHIP AND TRACKINGMORE TRACKING URL SUPPORT

Create a custom company and then enable the “Aftership service” or the “TrackingMore” option. The plugin will automatically generate the tracking url using the Aftership/TrackingMore service and the tacking code inserted in the order page! (Note: The standard track.aftership.com and track.trackingmore.com url are used. Make sure the shipping company you are using is supported by Aftership/TrackingMore)

AUTOFOCUS ON TRACKING INPUT FIELD AND SEARCH BY TRACKING CODE AND SHIPPING COMPANY NAME!

Optionally can be enabled the option to autofocus on main tracking code input field when editing the order page. This could be useful for bar code scanners (Note: Some 3rd party plugin could breake this feature).

Furthermore, the plugin lets the shop admin to search orders by tracking code and shipping companies by using the default “Search Order” input box already present on the WooCommerce orders page!
