Why is WooCommerce shipment tracking important to your e-commerce business?<\/h2>\n

You are probably wondering, why bother adding a shipment tracking link in WooCommerce, and what is its impact. Due to the high competition in online stores, customers are paying more and more attentive not only to the prices themselves, but also to the service in online stores. There is a very popular term for this – Customer Experience. Order tracking provides customers with peace of mind and can even win over hesitant buyers. A pleasant purchase experience builds customer loyalty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is best practice to make the tracking number as visible as possible after customer purchase<\/strong>. Some companies send a confirmation email that also includes the tracking number. Unfortunately, WooCommerce by itself does not have this option, so an additional solution is needed to add a tracking link to WooCommerce purchase emails. This solution is the simplest and most popular one. To be honest, that’s the all you need when it comes to shipment tracking.<\/p>\n

How to enable a WooCommerce UPS Shipment Tracking in your store?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you have the UPS WooCommerce Labels and Tracking plugin installed and active, let’s move on. I will try to walk you through the process step by step.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Connect UPS with WooCommerce via API<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Before you can enable a WooCommerce UPS shipment tracking, you must properly configure the plugin. In the case of UPS WooCommerce Labels and Tracking plugin, it is effortless. You have to provide your UPS API credentials. To reach the plugin <\/span>General settings,<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0go to\u00a0<\/span>WooCommerce \u2192 Settings \u2192 Shipping \u2192 UPS Labels<\/span><\/strong>. To connect your WooCommerce store with the UPS API, you have to enter\u00a0<\/span>Client ID, Client Secret, and UPS Account Number<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0in the appropriate fields.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"UPS<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you have completed all fields, save your changes<\/strong>. If all the entered data is correct, you will get the message<\/span> Connected\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>in the<\/span>\u00a0API connection status<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0field, as shown in the image above.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you do not have a UPS account yet, check\u00a0<\/span>how to create it step by step<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>How to get API connection \u2192<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

Now the most important thing. As I promised, to enable UPS Shipment Tracking in WooCommerce you only need one click, basically checking one checkbox. Under the API Setting<\/strong>, you’ll find the Advanced Options<\/strong>. There, you have the Tracking number<\/strong> checkbox. Just check it to add UPS parcel number with tracking link to WooCommerce transactional emails and order details<\/strong>. Remember to save the changes!<\/p>\n

\"Add<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the plugin is configured, we can proceed to create UPS shipments. I described exactly how to do this in an article on how to create and print UPS Shipping Labels in WooCommerce<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These settings will ensure that the parcel tracking link will be added to the WooCommerce transactional emails sent to your customers<\/strong> once their order is shipped. This should have a positive impact on the customer experience in your WooCommerce store. I hope this small element will boost your sales.<\/p>\n

Tips and hints<\/h3>\n

As a bonus, I can hint that it’s not just UPS Flat Rate that makes it easy and fast to create UPS shipping in WooCommerce. If you want to use more advanced delivery cost calculation, you can use dedicated plugins for that:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
