WooCommerce TrackingMore 4.3

**WooCommerce TrackingMore** integration refers to connecting your WooCommerce store with the **TrackingMore** platform, a third-party shipment tracking aggregator that supports over 1,200 global carriers (including USPS, DHL, FedEx, and China Post). 

This integration is primarily used to provide customers with a branded tracking page and real-time shipment updates, reducing "Where is my order?" (WISMO) support tickets.

### 1. Primary Ways to Integrate 

There are two main ways to use TrackingMore with WooCommerce: 

#### **A. Official TrackingMore Plugin** 

TrackingMore provides its own dedicated plugin (available on WordPress.org or via their site). 

* **How it works:** You enter your TrackingMore API key in the plugin settings. When you add a tracking number to a WooCommerce order, it automatically syncs to the TrackingMore dashboard. 
* **Key Feature:** It adds a "Track" button directly to the customer’s "My Account" page and sends automated email notifications as the parcel moves through different statuses (In Transit, Out for Delivery, Delivered). 

#### **B. Via "Orders Tracking for WooCommerce" (VillaTheme)** 

Many developers prefer using the **Orders Tracking for WooCommerce** plugin because it is more "all-in-one." 

* **Integration:** In the plugin settings, you can select **TrackingMore** as your preferred tracking service. 
* **Advanced Features:** It supports **Webhooks**, which means TrackingMore can "push" updates to your site instantly when a status changes, rather than your site having to check for updates manually.

### 2. Key Features of the Integration 

* **1,200+ Carriers:** One integration covers almost every shipping provider worldwide. 
* **Branded Tracking Page:** Instead of sending customers to a carrier's website (like UPS.com), you can host a tracking page on your own domain (e.g., `yourstore.com/track-order`). 
* **Automatic Status Mapping:** It maps carrier statuses to WooCommerce order statuses (e.g., when TrackingMore detects "Delivered," it can automatically mark the WooCommerce order as "Completed"). 
* **Estimated Delivery Dates (EDD):** Displays a predicted delivery date based on historical data from that specific carrier.

### 3. Setup Requirements 

To get started, you will need: 

1. **TrackingMore API Key:** You must sign up for an account at [TrackingMore.com](https://www.trackingmore.com). They offer a free tier (usually up to 50–100 shipments per month) and paid plans for higher volume. 
2. **Carrier Activation:** In your TrackingMore dashboard, you must "Enable" the specific carriers you use (e.g., Royal Mail, FedEx) so the API can recognize the tracking numbers. 
3. **Permalinks:** Your WordPress Permalinks must be set to anything other than "Plain" (e.g., "Post name") for the API and tracking pages to function correctly.
