Order Status & Tracking Emails for WooCommerce (OSTE) is a powerful yet lightweight plugin that allows you to create custom order statuses, send transactional emails, and insert tracking codes with carrier links directly from your WooCommerce store.

Main Features:

Create and manage custom WooCommerce order statuses with colored badges and order-list action buttons.

Rename WooCommerce core status labels and customize status colors without writing code.

Keep custom status slugs stable after creation, with protected deletion and order reassignment tools.

Recover orders assigned to orphan custom statuses left behind by old slug changes or deleted statuses.

Configure custom email templates per order status, with subject, heading, intro text, extra content, footer content, and per-product tracking text.

Choose a WooCommerce fallback email for each custom status when the plugin template is disabled.

Add global tracking or per-product tracking to orders, including carrier selection and direct tracking links.

Show tracking information in customer emails and in the customer’s My Account order details.

Resend the current customer status email from the order screen without changing the order status.

Assign icons to carriers and control icon display in Cart, Checkout, Email, and My Account.

Map WooCommerce shipping methods to carriers to show the correct icon in Cart/Checkout labels.

Use custom shipping-method icons for Cart/Checkout when a single carrier mapping is not enough.

Customize WooCommerce email styles with a live preview and send the preview to a test email address.

Compatible with HPOS order screens and legacy WooCommerce order tables.

Fully translatable and GPL licensed, with no third-party services required.

Perfect for store owners who want full control over order management and customer notifications.
