Swiss Post shipment tracking

The plugin Track Consignments for WooCommerce connects to the Swiss Post web service to retrieve consignment data for shipments and save them in WooCommerce orders. The status of shipments is regularly updated in the background and can also be called up manually.

Actions on shipping events

Using your own rules, actions can be defined which are executed when certain events occur. For example, the status of an order can be changed or an email can be sent when a package arrives at the customer. The following actions can be executed when events of a shipment (status codes) occur:

• Changing the WooCommerce order status: Set the status of an order to one of the available WooCommerce order statuses. In combination with e.g. WooCommerce Order Status Manager, the order can be set to its own status such as “Shipment on the way” as soon as the order has been submitted to the post office.
• Sending WooCommerce emails: Sending WooCommerce admin or customer emails.
• Sending custom emails: Emails can be sent to one or more recipients using email templates with custom content.
• Custom actions: Custom actions can be defined using hook functions (programming knowledge required).

Widget

A tracking widget can be added to customer emails and to order overviews on the “My Account” page to provide customers with detailed information on the status of a shipment. By choosing from five different display types and adjusting colors and other settings, the widget can be adapted to your own needs.

Compatibility

Tracking numbers can be assigned manually to a WooCommerce order or read automatically from certain other plugins. The plugin is compatible with tracking numbers from the WooCommerce Shipment Tracking, Barcode for WooCommerce and WebStamp for WooCommerce plugins.
