AST PRO

Bring shipment details into WooCommerce

AST PRO is the paid edition of Advanced Shipment Tracking for WooCommerce. It adds automation to the shipment tracking process, helping stores bring tracking data into orders from shipping and fulfillment tools. Supported integrations can import tracking from shipping label services, while scheduled CSV imports over FTP or SFTP can bring in entries from an external fulfillment process.

Give customers a place to find tracking

The underlying extension works with tracking numbers added manually, in bulk by CSV, or through a shipment tracking REST API. It includes more than 1,010 pre-configured carriers, Shipped and Partially Shipped order statuses, and a customizable tracking widget. Customers can follow clickable tracking links in order emails and on the My Account page. The add-on is compatible with HPOS and WooCommerce Cart and Checkout blocks.

Connect shipping and payment processes

AST PRO integrates with services including ShipStation, WooCommerce Shipping, Ordoro, Royal Mail Click & Drop, Sendcloud, Pirate Ship, Stamps.com, and Printful. Tracking data from supported shipping label tools can be imported into matching orders.

PayPal Tracking Sync automatically exports tracking information to PayPal. Stripe Tracking Sync syncs tracking data with Stripe transactions. Auto-Detect Carriers identifies a carrier from the tracking number format. If a store needs a carrier that is not on the pre-configured list, AST PRO supports custom and white-labeled carriers with custom names, logos, and tracking URLs.

Manage split shipments and notifications

Item-Level Tracking assigns tracking numbers to specific order line items and quantities, which is useful when products in one order ship separately. A fulfillment dashboard includes a central view for managing shipments, and custom email templates let stores tailor shipping notification emails.

Tracking notifications are sent when an order changes to Shipped or Completed. Real-time notifications for carrier milestones such as in transit or delivered are available through the separate TrackShip for WooCommerce plugin.
