Workparcel turns WordPress into a full shipment management and parcel tracking system — for a courier business, a freight forwarder, a fulfillment team, or any WooCommerce store that ships physical products.

Create shipments, generate tracking numbers automatically, log every status change as a tracking event, and give your customers a live, branded tracking page — right on your own site, with your own domain and your own logo. No third-party tracking service, no external subscription, no iframe.

Why Workparcel

Built for shipping and logistics businesses — manage every shipment from a professional, purpose-built dashboard instead of spreadsheets.
Branded, not generic — your company name, logo, and accent color appear on the admin dashboard, the public tracking page, and shipment emails.
Works with WooCommerce — link any WooCommerce order to a shipment and its tracking status shows automatically on the customer’s order page and order emails. High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) compatible.
Real tracking history — every status change (Pending, Processing, Picked Up, In Transit, At Facility, Out for Delivery, Delivered, Failed Delivery, Cancelled) is logged with a location, a note, and a timestamp, and shown to customers as a visual progress stepper.
Automatic email notifications — shipment-created and status-update emails can go out to the sender, the receiver, and the site admin, using a clean HTML template with your branding. By default emails only send when a working SMTP sender is detected, so you never get silent failures from unreliable default mail delivery; a setting lets you send anyway if your host or mail plugin is reliable.
Extensible for developers — filter and action hooks (workparcel_statuses, workparcel_shipment_created, workparcel_shipment_updated, workparcel_status_changed, workparcel_tracking_event_added) let you connect Workparcel to other plugins and custom workflows.
Fast and self-contained — its own database tables, its own capabilities, no bloat, no page builder dependency, and admin assets that only load on Workparcel screens.
