Automatically Add Tracking

Hi, we are happy to add compatibility with shipping services, do you use a plugin for the ShipStation integration?

That would be amazing! Here is the plugin that is used for ShipStation:

Thanks so much – you are awesome!

Hi, I think that the plugin should work with ShipStation plugin – they say that they support the WooCommerce Shipment tracking plugin, we use the same tracking meta fields for the tracking number and provider and if they are compatible, it should be working with our plugin as well.

Let me know if I can be more help
Thanks

Glad it sounds like it will work! I guess I’m just stuck on how to make the tracking show up in your plugin and not just the notes. I’m guessing it has something to do with the functions.php file but I’m pretty new to edits on an integration front. Any extra help would be greatly appreciated!

Since we use the same meta fields you can check with the the ShipStation plugin support how to make it save the tracking info into the Shipment Tracking fields, this way, it should be compatible with our plugin as well
Please let me know what they say
Thanks

Thank you! I just submitted a question for their support. I’ll follow up when I get an answer ??

They are asking what meta data would need to be passed along…can you help with that question?

Thanks!

ShipStation is saying that tracking info is already passed to WooCommerce at the time of shipment. I guess I’m lost as to what code needs to go where to put the tracking into in the right place

Hi.ok, did you check if the free plugin is maybe limited? you should contact the plugin developer, I would look into this free plugin code and let you know

I have posted in the support forum for this plugin:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/woocommerce-shipstation-integration/

and am awaiting response. I started with the ShipStation support themselves, which was not correct. I have since posted to the plugin’s support.

Does seeing this help? This is from the help doc for the ShipStation plugin:

// Add this code to your theme functions.php file or a custom plugin
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_shipstation_export_custom_field_2’, ‘shipstation_custom_field_2’ );

function shipstation_custom_field_2() {
return ‘_meta_key’; // Replace this with the key of your custom field
}

// This is for custom field 3
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_shipstation_export_custom_field_3’, ‘shipstation_custom_field_3’ );

function shipstation_custom_field_3() {
return ‘_meta_key_2’; // Replace this with the key of your custom field
}

Actually, I think I found the code for the Shipment Tracking integration in the ShipStation plugin. See below. What would need to happen to make this work for your plugin?

// Tracking information – WC Shipment Tracking extension.
if ( class_exists( ‘WC_Shipment_Tracking’ ) ) {
if ( function_exists( ‘wc_st_add_tracking_number’ ) ) {
wc_st_add_tracking_number( $order_id, $tracking_number, strtolower( $carrier ), $timestamp );
} else {
// You’re using Shipment Tracking < 1.4.0. Please update!
update_post_meta( $order_id, ‘_tracking_provider’, strtolower( $carrier ) );
update_post_meta( $order_id, ‘_tracking_number’, $tracking_number );
update_post_meta( $order_id, ‘_date_shipped’, $timestamp );
}

$is_customer_note = 0;
} else {
$is_customer_note = 1;
}

$order->add_order_note( $order_note, $is_customer_note );

// Update order status.
if ( $order_shipped ) {
$order->update_status( WC_ShipStation_Integration::$shipped_status );

Hi, ok, we created a code snippet that you can use in functions.php and should add the tracking info to our plugin fields:

Please let me know if this works.
Thanks

Hello!

Wow. Thank you so much. I will add the code to functions.php and run a shipment batch later today. I’ll let you know how it goes. Again, your support is amazing and much appreciated.

Jeff

Sure ?? I close this topic, if it does not work let me know.
If you enjoy the plugin, I will appreciate if you can review it ??
