With this tutorial, we’ll show you how to add the WooCommerce Tracking Number for your FedEx Shipments in the order completion email using the WooCommerce Shipping Plugin for FedEx with Print Label.

The need to add WooCommerce tracking number in the order completion email

WooCommerce lets you sell products online with ease. However, when you’re required to ship products to your customers, you would require some additional help.

For instance, to attach the shipment tracking number to the order completion email, you will have to do it manually. This is not recommended since it’s not a vaible solution, especially for a longer run.
