Workparcel is a self-hosted shipment management and parcel tracking plugin for WordPress. It helps courier companies, delivery businesses, freight teams, and online stores create shipments, manage delivery progress, and let customers track parcels on their own website.

Create a shipment, generate a tracking number, record status updates, and share the tracking number with the customer. Customers can enter it on your branded tracking page to see the shipment’s current status and tracking history — without being sent to a third-party tracking website.

Workparcel keeps shipment records in your WordPress database, so you manage the tracking experience on your own site and under your own domain.

Why use Workparcel?

Manage shipments from WordPress — create, edit, search, and organize shipments from a dedicated dashboard with shipment statistics and status filters.
Give customers branded parcel tracking — publish a tracking page on your website with your company identity and a clear shipment progress timeline.
Connect WooCommerce orders — link a shipment to a WooCommerce order and display its tracking information in the customer’s order view and order emails. Compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
Keep a complete tracking history — record shipment status changes with locations, notes, and timestamps so staff and customers can follow progress.
Notify the right people — send branded HTML emails when shipments are created or their status changes, with separate notification options for senders, receivers, and administrators.
Support scanning workflows — use a USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner to create shipments, update statuses, and assign registered drivers or customers from a front-end Scan page.
Connect other systems — use the toggleable REST API and developer hooks to integrate shipment workflows with other WordPress plugins and external applications.
Keep control of your data — shipment and tracking records are stored in your own WordPress database. Workparcel does not require a separate third-party tracking subscription.
