This view is available within your store on the Custom Tracking Page generated by the WooCommerce Shipment Tracking plugin.
To use this feature, we’ve provided a dedicated option inside the plugin settings. The PluginHive UPS Integration in the WooCommerce Shipment Tracking Pro plugin settings enables this feature. Please refer to the following image.
And here’s a video for you to see how exactly this integration works.
Improvements made to the WooCommerce Shipment Tracking Pro
As mentioned before, we’ve introduced a few new changes to the overall user interface of the plugin.
1. The Tracking Number is now displayed as a placeholder in the Tracking field meta as shown in the image below. Next to it is the Track which triggers the API to display the live tracking status.
2. We’ve introduced a hyperlink on the Store Owner’s Tracking page. With this, you can view the tracking details on the carrier website. And to do that, you would have to enable the View on Shipment Carrier’s Page option in plugin settings as shown in the image below.
With this new enhancement, you will see a hyperlink at the bottom of the Custom Tracking Page.
When the indicated option is clicked, it will redirect you to the corresponding shipping carrier’s website to track the shipment. Refer to the screenshot below.
