With this guide, we will show you the easiest way to add the WooCommerce Tracking Number to your Order Completion email for carriers like UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.,

The need to add WooCommerce Tracking Number in the Order Completion Email

Once an order is marked as ‘completed’, WooCommerce sends an order completion email to the customer. This email includes all the necessary and useful details regarding that order.

Many store owners use this opportunity to share the tracking number/ID with their customers that they get from the shipping service company(UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.,). This tracking number allows customers to know the whereabouts of their package.

Let’s take a real example and see how you can add the WooCommerce tracking number for your UPS Shipments to your order completion email.

I am considering buying the WooCommerce UPS Shipping plugin because I want to include the UPS tracking number in the ‘Completed order’ email from my website, in addition to the tracking email generated from UPS Express itself. Could you please help me with that?

Solution using the WooCommerce UPS Shipping plugin

The WooCommerce UPS Shipping plugin is equipped with seamless order tracking features that automatically attach the tracking information to the order completion email.

Let’s go through the following steps and see how it’s done.
