External Services

This plugin displays courier tracking links to customers and administrators. When a tracking number is saved against a WooCommerce order, the plugin generates a direct link to the relevant courier’s public tracking page using a pre-defined URL template.

What data is used: Only the tracking number entered by the store admin is included in the tracking URL. No personal customer data (name, email, address, etc.) is transmitted.

When it is used: A tracking link is generated when a tracking number is saved to an order, displayed in the customer’s order confirmation email, and shown on the My Account > Order Details page.

How it works: The plugin holds a local library of 200+ courier tracking URL templates (e.g., https://www.indiapost.gov.in/...?c=TRACKINGNUMBER). The tracking link is constructed locally — no data is sent to any third-party API by this plugin. The customer’s browser opens the courier’s website directly when they click “Track Shipment” or “Open Tracking Page”.

Courier websites used (examples): India Post (indiapost.gov.in), TrackOn (trackon.in), TCI Express (tciexpress.in), VRL Group (vrlgroup.in), Posta Slovenije (sledenje.posta.si), ELTA Greece (elta.gr), and 200+ other couriers worldwide.

Each courier operates its own tracking service. Please refer to the respective courier’s website for their privacy policy and terms of service.

No data is sent to Softhexa Solutions or any centralised tracking API. All tracking URLs are resolved client-side by the end user’s browser visiting the courier’s own website.

Installation

Upload the softhexa-orders-tracking folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install via the WordPress plugin screen.
Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active.
Go to Orders Tracking and enable your preferred couriers.
Go to WooCommerce > Orders and use the Tracking column to add tracking info.

Faq

Does this work with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?

Yes. The Tracking column is added to the HPOS-compatible wc-orders screen.

Which couriers are supported?

Softhexa Orders Tracking includes 200+ courier tracking URL templates. Use the Orders Tracking settings page to enable only the couriers you want in the order dropdown.

Will the customer receive an email when I save tracking?

Yes. Saving a tracking number, or changing an existing one, automatically sends a “Completed Order” email with the tracking number and a link to the courier tracking page.

Does saving the tracking number change the order status?

Yes. The order status is automatically changed to Shipped when a tracking number is saved.

Can I use this without WooCommerce?

No. Softhexa Orders Tracking requires WooCommerce to function.

I tested several WooCommerce order tracking plugins, and this one feels very clean and easy to use. The interface is simple, setup is quick, and adding tracking details to orders works smoothly.

What I liked most is that it focuses on the essential features without unnecessary complexity. It integrates well with WooCommerce and gives customers a better tracking experience.

A good lightweight plugin for store owners who want an easy order tracking solution. Recommended!
