About WooCommerce Shipment Tracking 2.4.2
WooCommerce Shipment Tracking is an extension from the WooCommerce team for stores that ship physical goods. You add a carrier and tracking number to an order, and the customer can see where the parcel is without writing to you. It is filed in the store under customer service.
The listing says little about the exact fields and email behaviour, so read the documentation in the package for the details. The file on record is version 2.4.2 from October 2022, even though the page address and the old description mention an earlier number. Test it on a staging site with your current WordPress, PHP and WooCommerce first.
Requirements
- WooCommerce
Key features
- Tracking on orders
- Attach a tracking number and carrier to each WooCommerce order.
- Customer-facing tracking
- Customers can look up their shipment details from their order, so fewer 'where is my parcel' emails reach you.
- WooCommerce extension
- Made by the WooCommerce developers and designed to sit inside the normal order screens.
- Small package
- The file is about 42 kilobytes, so it adds one focused feature rather than a full shipping suite.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Shops that ship physical products and want customers to see tracking details
- Stores that want to cut down on delivery status questions
Look elsewhere if
- Stores that sell only downloads or services and never ship anything
- Shops that need automatic carrier rates or label printing, which the listing doesn't mention
How to install WooCommerce Shipment Tracking 2.4.2

- 2

Notes for this product
- The listing doesn't state which carriers are built in or whether you can add your own. Check the documentation in the package.
Setup: using WooCommerce Shipment Tracking 2.4.2
- Check WooCommerce is active. This is a WooCommerce extension, so WooCommerce has to be installed and running first.
- Open a test order. In WooCommerce, open an order and look for the shipment tracking box on the edit screen.
- Add a tracking number. Choose a carrier, enter the tracking number and save, then mark the order as shipped using your usual status.
- Check the customer view. View the order as the customer, from the account page and the order email, and confirm the tracking details appear.
Common problems and fixes
Tracking details don't show in the customer's email or account page
- Why it happens
- The order was saved without tracking data, or a theme or email template override hides the extra block.
- How to fix it
- Re-save the tracking entry on the order, then test with the default WooCommerce email templates to rule out a custom override.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
