Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 2:11 pm

When you ship an order through WooCommerce, you’ll need to add a tracking number so your customer can follow its progress. There are two ways to do this:

1. Add the tracking number to the order

To add a tracking number to an order:

  • 1. Go to WooCommerce > Orders. Select the order you want to add a tracking number to.
  • 2. Scroll down to the Order Data section and click Add Tracking Number
  • 3.

    Enter the tracking number, provider name, and date shipped. If you want, you can also enter a URL where customers can track their shipment. Click Add Tracking Number

  • 4. Save the order. Your tracking number will now appear on the order page, and your customer will receive an email notification with tracking information.

2. Add the tracking number to a completed order

If you forgot to add a tracking number when you completed the order, don’t worry! You can still add it later:

PRO TIP: If you are adding a tracking number in WooCommerce, be aware that there is a potential for errors. Make sure that you are entering the correct information for the carrier and service, and that the tracking number is valid.

  • 1. Go to WooCommerce > Orders.
  • 2.

    Now that you know how to add a tracking number in WooCommerce, you can keep your customers up-to-date on their shipments.

    By default, WooCommerce will send an email notification to your customer when their order ships that includes their tracking information. However, if you need more control over when and how tracking information is communicated to your customers, we recommend using one of our plugins for automatic shipping updates.

    Our plugins make it easy for you customize shipping update emails and automate shipping notifications for popular shipping carriers. This way, you can focus on running your business and leave the shipping notifications to us!
