Your WooCommerce store might ship with FedEx today, DHL tomorrow, and a regional carrier for international orders next week. The moment you add a second carrier to your workflow, manual tracking management becomes a serious problem — different portals, different tracking formats, different customer experiences.
The best shipment tracking plugins don’t just support one or two big names. They connect your store to the entire global shipping ecosystem, automatically — so no matter which carrier you use, your customers always get the same seamless, branded tracking experience.
AST PRO — Advanced Shipment Tracking for WooCommerce — was built for exactly this reality. With support for 950+ shipping carriers worldwide and deep integrations with TrackShip, PayPal, and your existing fulfillment tools, it’s the most connected tracking solution available for WooCommerce. Here’s a full breakdown of what it supports and how each integration works.
950+ Shipping Carriers — Global Coverage, One Plugin
AST PRO connects your WooCommerce store to over 950 global and regional shipping carriers out of the box. This includes every major international carrier as well as hundreds of regional and local providers across every continent.
Some of the most popular carriers supported include:
- FedEx — international express and freight
- UPS — domestic and international parcel delivery
- DHL — global express shipping
- USPS — US domestic and international mail
- Royal Mail — UK domestic and international
- Australia Post — Australian domestic and international

- And hundreds more across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and beyond
Whether you ship locally, nationally, or internationally across multiple regions, AST PRO has your carrier covered — without needing separate plugins or custom development.
Auto-Detect Carrier — No Manual Selection Required
One of AST PRO’s most practical features is its automatic carrier detection. Rather than requiring you or your team to manually select a carrier each time a tracking number is added, AST PRO reads the tracking number format and automatically identifies the correct carrier.
This saves time on every single fulfillment, eliminates human error, and ensures tracking notifications always link to the correct carrier data — even when you’re working with multiple carriers simultaneously across different orders.
TrackShip Integration — Real-Time Auto-Tracking for Every Shipment
The most powerful tracking integration in AST PRO’s ecosystem is TrackShip — a dedicated shipment tracking platform that connects to 950+ carriers and monitors shipment status in real time.
Here’s how it works with AST PRO:
- You fulfill the order and add the tracking number in WooCommerce
- TrackShip automatically detects the carrier and begins monitoring the shipment
- As the shipment status changes — in transit, out for delivery, delivered, exception — TrackShip feeds live updates back into WooCommerce automatically
- Customers receive a branded tracking page on your store and automated email notifications at each status milestone
The result is a fully automated post-purchase experience that requires zero manual intervention from your team after fulfillment. TrackShip also powers the branded tracking page — keeping customers on your store rather than redirecting them to a generic carrier portal.
PayPal Tracking Sync — Chargeback Protection Built In
AST PRO automatically syncs shipment tracking information with PayPal — providing verified proof of dispatch directly within PayPal’s dispute resolution system.
This integration matters for two key reasons:
Chargeback protection: When a customer opens an “Item Not Received” dispute in PayPal, the tracking data is already synced and visible to PayPal’s team. This dramatically reduces your risk of losing disputes to fraudulent claims — particularly valuable for high-volume or high-value stores.
Faster fund releases: PayPal holds funds from new sellers and high-volume accounts until delivery is confirmed. With tracking automatically synced, PayPal can verify delivery faster — releasing your funds sooner.
The PayPal sync happens automatically when a tracking number is added to an order. No manual exports, no logging into PayPal to add tracking — it’s all handled in the background.
Stripe Shipment Tracking Sync
Similar to PayPal, AST PRO also supports Stripe shipment tracking sync, automatically pushing tracking data into Stripe’s dashboard. This provides an additional layer of dispute protection for stores that process payments through Stripe, ensuring proof of shipment is always on record when a chargeback is raised.
CSV Import & REST API — Connect Any Fulfillment System
For stores using third-party logistics providers (3PLs), warehouse management systems, or batch fulfillment workflows, AST PRO offers two powerful import methods:
CSV Bulk Import: Upload a CSV file containing tracking numbers, carrier names, and order IDs to update hundreds of shipments at once. This is ideal for stores that fulfill orders in batches or receive tracking data from a 3PL in bulk.
REST API Endpoints: AST PRO exposes REST API endpoints that allow external systems — shipping software, ERP platforms, order management systems — to push tracking data directly into WooCommerce automatically. This enables full, seamless integration with any tech stack without manual data entry.
Compatible Shipping Label Plugins
AST PRO is designed to work alongside the tools you already use to generate shipping labels and manage fulfillment. It’s compatible with the following plugins for WooCommerce:
- ShipStation — multi-carrier shipping and fulfillment
- WooCommerce Shipping — native WooCommerce label printing
- Shippo — discounted multi-carrier label generation
- WooCommerce GLS Plugin by Tehster — GLS carrier integration for WooCommerce
- Print Label and Tracking Code for GLS — GLS label printing and tracking code management
- AliExpress Dropshipping — dropshipping order fulfillment from AliExpress
- Germanized for WooCommerce — WooCommerce compliance and fulfillment for German stores
When these tools add tracking numbers to your orders, AST PRO picks them up automatically — no duplicate data entry, no manual copy-pasting between systems.
WooCommerce & WordPress Ecosystem Compatibility
AST PRO is fully compatible with the broader WooCommerce and WordPress ecosystem:
- HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) — future-proof and fully compatible with WooCommerce’s modern database architecture
- WooCommerce Subscriptions — tracking works seamlessly for subscription-based orders
- WPML — full multilingual support for international stores
- All major WooCommerce themes — no conflicts with Storefront, Flatsome, Astra, Divi, or other popular themes
Regular updates ensure compatibility with every new WooCommerce and WordPress release, so you never have to worry about breaking changes.
Partial Shipments — Multiple Carriers, One Order
For stores that ship orders across multiple packages — potentially with different carriers — AST PRO supports item-level partial shipment tracking. Each package in a split order gets its own tracking number and carrier assignment, and customers receive accurate, item-specific updates for each package.
This means a single order could have one item shipped via FedEx and another via USPS, with each tracking separately and both surfacing correctly on the branded tracking page and in customer notifications.
