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, manual tracking management becomes a real problem: different portals, different tracking formats, different customer experiences.
A good shipment tracking plugin does not just support one or two big names. It connects your store to the entire global shipping ecosystem automatically, so whichever carrier you use, your customers get the same branded tracking experience.
Advanced Shipment Tracking Pro (AST PRO), our WooCommerce shipment tracking plugin, was built for exactly this. It supports 950+ shipping carriers worldwide plus integrations with TrackShip, PayPal, Stripe, and common fulfilment tools. This page is the full reference: which carriers are supported, and how each integration works.

Auto-detect carrier: no manual selection required
Rather than making your team pick a carrier every time a tracking number is added, AST PRO reads the tracking number format and identifies the correct carrier automatically. That saves time on every fulfilment, removes a source of human error, and ensures notifications always link to the right carrier data, even when you run several carriers at once across different orders.
TrackShip integration: real-time auto-tracking
The most capable integration in the AST PRO ecosystem is TrackShip, a dedicated tracking platform connected to 950+ carriers that monitors shipment status in real time. Here is how it works with AST PRO:
- You fulfil the order and add the tracking number in WooCommerce.
- TrackShip detects the carrier and begins monitoring the shipment.
- As status changes (in transit, out for delivery, delivered, exception), TrackShip feeds live updates back into WooCommerce.
- Customers get a branded tracking page on your store and automated email notifications at each milestone.
The result is an automated post-purchase experience that needs no manual work after fulfilment. TrackShip also powers the branded tracking page, keeping customers on your store instead of a generic carrier portal.
PayPal tracking sync: chargeback protection
AST PRO syncs tracking information to PayPal automatically, providing verified proof of dispatch inside PayPal’s dispute system. This matters for two reasons. First, chargeback protection: when a customer opens an “item not received” dispute, the tracking data is already synced and visible to PayPal, which reduces the risk of losing disputes to fraudulent claims. Second, faster fund releases: PayPal holds funds from new and high-volume sellers until delivery is confirmed, and synced tracking lets PayPal verify delivery sooner. The sync happens when a tracking number is added, with no manual exports.
Stripe tracking sync
AST PRO also pushes tracking data into Stripe’s dashboard automatically, adding a layer of dispute protection for stores processing payments through Stripe, so proof of shipment is always on record when a chargeback is raised.
CSV import and REST API: connect any fulfilment system
For stores using 3PLs, warehouse management systems, or batch fulfilment, AST PRO offers two import methods. CSV bulk import lets you upload a file of tracking numbers, carrier names, and order IDs to update hundreds of shipments at once, ideal for batch fulfilment or bulk tracking from a 3PL. REST API endpoints let external systems (shipping software, ERP, order management) push tracking data directly into WooCommerce automatically, for full integration with any stack without manual entry.
Compatible shipping label plugins
AST PRO works alongside the tools you already use to generate labels and manage fulfilment. When these add tracking numbers to your orders, AST PRO picks them up automatically with no duplicate entry:
- ShipStation, multi-carrier shipping and fulfilment
- WooCommerce Shipping, native WooCommerce label printing
- Shippo, discounted multi-carrier label generation
- WooCommerce GLS Plugin by Tehster, GLS carrier integration
- Print Label and Tracking Code for GLS, GLS label printing and tracking codes
- AliExpress Dropshipping, dropshipping fulfilment from AliExpress
- Germanized for WooCommerce, compliance and fulfilment for German stores
WooCommerce and WordPress compatibility
AST PRO is compatible with the broader WooCommerce and WordPress ecosystem:
- HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage), fully compatible with WooCommerce’s modern database architecture
- WooCommerce Subscriptions, tracking works for subscription orders
- WPML, full multilingual support for international stores
- All major themes, no conflicts with Storefront, Flatsome, Astra, Divi, and others
Regular updates keep it compatible with every new WooCommerce and WordPress release.
Partial shipments: multiple carriers, one order
For orders that ship 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, and customers receive accurate item-specific updates for each one. A single order could ship one item via FedEx and another via USPS, with each tracked separately and both surfacing correctly on the branded tracking page and in notifications.
Frequently asked questions about WooCommerce carrier tracking
How many carriers does AST PRO support?
AST PRO supports 950+ global and regional carriers out of the box, from major international couriers like FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS to hundreds of regional providers across every continent. The full list by region is above. Carrier detection can also identify the courier automatically from the tracking number format.
Does WooCommerce detect the shipping carrier automatically?
Not in core. WooCommerce core has no carrier database or auto-detection. AST PRO reads the tracking number format and identifies the carrier automatically, so you do not select one manually for each order. This also ensures the customer’s tracking link points to the correct carrier every time.
Can I use AST PRO with ShipStation or WooCommerce Shipping?
Yes. AST PRO works alongside label and fulfilment tools including ShipStation, WooCommerce Shipping, and Shippo. When those tools add a tracking number to an order, AST PRO picks it up automatically, so there is no duplicate data entry between systems.
What is the difference between a carrier and a tracking integration?
A carrier is the courier that physically delivers the parcel (FedEx, DHL, and so on). A tracking integration is how status updates flow into your store: AST PRO’s carrier detection generates the correct tracking link, and the TrackShip integration monitors each shipment and feeds live milestone updates back into WooCommerce and to the customer.
Does carrier tracking work for orders that ship in multiple packages?
Yes. With item-level partial shipment tracking, each package in a split order gets its own carrier and tracking number, even if the items ship with different couriers. Every package surfaces separately on the branded tracking page and in customer notifications, so nobody has to guess which item is where.
Conclusion
The value of a tracking plugin is not one or two big carriers; it is covering every courier you and your suppliers use, with the integrations that carry tracking through to your customers, your payment processors, and your fulfilment stack. AST PRO connects 950+ carriers, TrackShip, PayPal, Stripe, and your label tools, so tracking stays automatic no matter who carries the parcel.
