Update Tracking Number Directly from WooCommerce UPS Shipping Plugin
We have integrated the WooCommerce UPS Shipping plugin with the WooCommerce Shipment Tracking Pro plugin. With this new integration, you and your customers would be able to view the Live Tracking status of your UPS shipments. This view is available within your store on the Custom Tracking Page generated by the WooCommerce Shipment Tracking plugin.
To use this feature, we’ve provided a dedicated option inside the plugin settings. The PluginHive UPS Integration in the WooCommerce Shipment Tracking Pro plugin settings enables this feature. Please refer to the following image.
And here’s a video for you to see how exactly this integration works.
Improvements made to the WooCommerce Shipment Tracking Pro
As mentioned before, we’ve introduced a few new changes to the overall user interface of the plugin.
1. The Tracking Number is now displayed as a placeholder in the Tracking field meta as shown in the image below. Next to it is the Track which triggers the API to display the live tracking status.
2. We’ve introduced a hyperlink on the Store Owner’s Tracking page. With this, you can view the tracking details on the carrier website. And to do that, you would have to enable the View on Shipment Carrier’s Page option in plugin settings as shown in the image below.
With this new enhancement, you will see a hyperlink at the bottom of the Custom Tracking Page.
When the indicated option is clicked, it will redirect you to the corresponding shipping carrier’s website to track the shipment. Refer to the screenshot below.
Benefits of WooCommerce Shipment Tracking plugin for UPS Shipments

Seamless integration with WooCommerce
As discussed earlier, the process of tracking your packages becomes very tiring and time-consuming. It’s largely due to the fact that you have to visit another website and provide order details to get tracking IDs.
With this integration, it’s a much simpler process as everything happens with just one click. You no longer have to prepare a CSV file with tracking numbers and upload it to your Shipment tracking plugin, the plugin does it for you.

Now that the complete tracking process has taken a big leap, you’ll soon find yourself fulfilling 100s of orders in no time.
The added advantage is your customers don’t have to go to the carrier’s website to track the package every time. They can simply do that on your website which gives a better yet simpler order tracking experience.
