Kitgenix

<p>Customers don’t just want a tracking number — they want confidence.</p>
<p>After purchase, the questions are predictable:<br />
“Has it shipped yet?”, “Is this coming in multiple parcels?”, “Which courier is it with?”, and “Can I track it right now?”</p>
<p><strong>Kitgenix Order Tracking for WooCommerce</strong> gives you a clean, reliable way to manage <strong>WooCommerce shipment tracking</strong> without bloated shipping suites. Add <strong>multiple shipments</strong> to a single order (split deliveries, replacements, multi-parcel, different carriers), show tracking clearly to customers, and reduce “where is my order?” support tickets with a self-service tracking page.</p>
<p>It also includes a <strong>Tracking Analytics</strong> screen inside WooCommerce so you can understand shipping speed, exceptions, and how often customers check tracking.</p>
<h4>Built for real-world shipping workflows</h4>
<p>This plugin is especially useful if you:<br />
– ship orders in more than one box (multi-parcel / multi-shipment),<br />
– part-ship items while the rest are backordered,<br />
– use multiple couriers (Amazon Logistics, An Post, DHL, DPD, DX, Evri, FedEx, Parcelforce, Royal Mail, UPS, Woodside, Yodel, etc.),<br />
– want a branded tracking page instead of sending customers to random courier sites,<br />
– want tracking shown in emails (cleanly, without duplicate blocks),<br />
– want a “Partially shipped” workflow and email for staged fulfilment.</p>
<h4>What the plugin does</h4>
<ol>
<li>Add one or more shipments to a WooCommerce order (carrier + tracking number + optional shipped date + per-item quantities).</li>
<li>Generate courier tracking links from built-in carrier URL patterns (plus an “Other” courier option for custom links).</li>
<li>Display tracking for customers:
<ul>
<li>in emails,</li>
<li>and on a public tracking page via shortcode.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Optionally show an approximate delivery route map (Leaflet + OpenStreetMap; no Google Maps, no API key, no CDN).</li>
<li>Monitor operations with a Tracking Analytics dashboard (ship speed, totals, breakdowns, lookups, recent shipments).</li>
</ol>
<h4>Key features</h4>
<h3>Multiple shipments (multi-parcel, split deliveries, replacements)</h3>
<p>Add as many shipments as you need to a single order. Each shipment can include:<br />
– carrier (optional; if omitted, no carrier tracking link is generated),<br />
– tracking number,<br />
– shipped date (optional),<br />
– shipped items + quantities (line-item allocation for partial fulfilment).</p>
<p>This makes partial shipments and multi-parcel deliveries accurate and customer-friendly.</p>
<h3>Built-in carriers (UK & Ireland friendly)</h3>
<p>Includes a carrier registry with icons and tracking URL patterns, so customers get direct “Track shipment” links.</p>
<p>Built-in carriers include:<br />
– Amazon Logistics<br />
– An Post<br />
– DHL<br />
– DPD Ireland<br />
– DPD UK<br />
– DX<br />
– Evri<br />
– FedEx<br />
– Other (custom link / no pattern)<br />
– Parcelforce Worldwide<br />
– Royal Mail<br />
– UPS Ireland<br />
– UPS UK<br />
– Woodside Distribution<br />
– Yodel</p>
<h3>Customer tracking page (self-service)</h3>
<p>Add a tracking page anywhere using:<br />
[kitgenix_tracking_form]</p>
<p>The tracking form supports:<br />
– Order-based lookup (order number + billing email + postcode), and<br />
– Tracking-number lookup (useful when the customer only has parcel details)</p>
<p>Great for reducing support tickets and giving customers a consistent experience.</p>
<h3>Tracking in WooCommerce emails (done cleanly)</h3>
<p>Tracking is appended to:<br />
– WooCommerce Completed Order email, and<br />
– the plugin’s own Partially Shipped email</p>
<p>Includes duplicate-guarding so tracking blocks aren’t repeated if templates/hooks are customised.</p>
<h3>“Partially shipped” order status + email (included)</h3>
<p>The plugin registers:<br />
– a custom order status: <strong>wc-partially-shipped</strong> (“Partially shipped”), and<br />
– a custom email: <strong>Kitgenix Partially Shipped</strong></p>
<p>Ideal for stores that ship in stages and want to send tracking early without marking the whole order completed.</p>
<h3>Optional route map (OpenStreetMap + Leaflet)</h3>
<p>If enabled, the tracking view can show an approximate route map using:<br />
– Leaflet (bundled locally — no CDN),<br />
– OpenStreetMap tiles,<br />
– Nominatim geocoding (endpoint + contact email are filterable)</p>
<p>Includes fallbacks if geocoding fails (shows what it can, or hides the map with a message).</p>
<h3>Tracking Analytics dashboard (inside WooCommerce)</h3>
<p>Adds an admin screen under the Kitgenix hub with practical metrics:<br />
– shipped vs unshipped orders,<br />
– total shipments,<br />
– exceptions,<br />
– average/median time-to-ship,<br />
– carrier/status breakdowns,<br />
– recent shipments,<br />
– customer tracking lookup totals,<br />
– date range selection (predefined windows like 7–180 days)</p>
<p>Calculations are batched and cached briefly (transients) to keep the dashboard fast.</p>
<h4>How it works (quick overview)</h4>
<p>1) Add tracking in wp-admin<br />
Edit an order and use the <strong>Order Tracking</strong> meta box. Create shipments using the “Add tracking” modal:<br />
– tracking number<br />
– carrier dropdown (explicit selection, or leave blank)<br />
– shipped date<br />
– item quantities (loaded via AJAX)<br />
– optional order status update after save (don’t change / partially shipped / completed)</p>
<p>2) Tracking appears for customers<br />
If shipments exist, customers see a clear “Shipment Tracking” section in key emails and via the tracking page.</p>
<p>3) Customers can track without contacting you<br />
Use the shortcode page so customers can look up tracking by order details or by tracking number.</p>
<p>4) You can measure shipping performance<br />
Open Tracking Analytics to see speed, breakdowns, and customer behaviour.</p>
<h3>Quick Start</h3>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Create a page called “Track Your Order” (or similar).</li>
<li>Add this shortcode:<br />
[kitgenix_tracking_form]</li>
<li>Edit any order and add a shipment in the Order Tracking meta box.</li>
<li>Send a Completed Order email (or use Partially Shipped) and confirm tracking is shown.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Developers</h3>
<p>Text domain:<br />
kitgenix-order-tracking-for-woocommerce</p>
<p>Shortcode:<br />
[kitgenix_tracking_form]</p>
<p>Data model (high level):<br />
– Shipments are stored as order meta under <code>_kitgenix_tracking_shipments</code> (array)<br />
– Tracking numbers are indexed for fast lookup via repeated order meta <code>_kitgenix_tracking_number</code> (one meta row per tracking number)<br />
– Admin UI stores the last chosen “update order status” action as order meta <code>kitgenix_order_status_action</code> (values: <code>no_change</code>, <code>partial</code>, <code>completed</code>)<br />
– Carrier settings are stored in the option <code>kitgenix_order_tracking_for_woocommerce_carriers_settings</code><br />
– Counter option: <code>kitgenix_order_tracking_for_woocommerce_tracking_numbers_added</code> (privacy-safe total)<br />
– Counter option: <code>kitgenix_order_tracking_for_woocommerce_lookup_count</code> (successful tracking-page lookups)<br />
– Analytics aggregates are cached briefly in transients prefixed <code>kitgenix_order_tracking_for_woocommerce_analytics_...</code><br />
– Activation redirect uses transient <code>kitgenix_order_tracking_for_woocommerce_do_activation_redirect</code> (about 30 seconds)<br />
– No custom database tables are created<br />
– Uninstall does not automatically remove order meta (to preserve historical tracking)</p>
<p>Nonces / capabilities (summary):<br />
– Order edit tracking save uses nonce action <code>kitgenix_order_tracking_save</code> (<code>kitgenix_order_tracking_nonce</code>) and requires <code>edit_shop_order</code>.<br />
– Order-items modal loads via AJAX action <code>kitgenix_order_tracking_for_woocommerce_get_order_items</code> using nonce action <code>kitgenix_order_tracking</code>.<br />
– Tracking form submissions use nonce action <code>kitgenix_tracking_lookup</code> (<code>kitgenix_tracking_nonce</code>).<br />
– Carriers (Shippers) settings form uses nonce action <code>kitgenix_order_tracking_for_woocommerce_save_carriers</code> (<code>kitgenix_order_tracking_for_woocommerce_carriers_nonce</code>).</p>
<p>Hooks / filters:<br />
– kitgenix_order_tracking_for_woocommerce_debug_save( bool $enabled, int $order_id ): bool (enable debug order note on save)<br />
– kitgenix_order_tracking_for_woocommerce_nominatim_email( string $email ): string (supply/override Nominatim email param)<br />
– kitgenix_order_tracking_for_woocommerce_nominatim_endpoint( string $endpoint ): string (override geocoding endpoint)</p>
<p>Admin AJAX endpoints:<br />
– wp_ajax_kitgenix_order_tracking_for_woocommerce_get_order_items (load order items into the shipment modal)</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin may connect to external services in two situations:</p>
<p>1) When customers click courier tracking links<br />
Tracking links open the carrier’s tracking page (e.g. Amazon Logistics, An Post, DHL, DPD, DX, Evri, FedEx, Parcelforce Worldwide, Royal Mail, UPS, Woodside Distribution, Yodel) or a custom “Other” URL. These links may contain the tracking number.</p>
<p>2) When the optional map is enabled<br />
The tracking view may request:<br />
– OpenStreetMap tile images<br />
– Nominatim geocoding requests (to convert store/customer address details into coordinates)</p>
<p>Map implementation notes:<br />
– Leaflet is bundled locally (no CDN fallback).<br />
– Map tiles are loaded from <code>https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png</code>.<br />
– Geocoding defaults to <code>https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search</code> and may include the full store and delivery address string in the <code>q</code> parameter.</p>
<p>3) In wp-admin (Kitgenix hub)<br />
This plugin includes a shared “Kitgenix hub” component in wp-admin which may fetch publicly available plugin metadata from WordPress.org using WordPress core’s <code>plugins_api()</code> function.</p>
<p>Caching:<br />
– Transient: <code>kitgenix_hub_wporg_active_installs_v1</code><br />
– Transient: <code>kitgenix_hub_wporg_ratings_v1</code></p>
<p>Leaflet assets are bundled locally (no CDN).</p>
<p>No personal data is sold or shared by this plugin. Where external services are used, requests may include data required to perform the function (for example, a tracking number in a carrier link, or address data used for geocoding). Review the relevant provider policies for your use case.</p>
<h3>Trademark Notice</h3>
<p>All carrier names and logos are trademarks of their respective owners. This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by any courier, carrier, OpenStreetMap, or Nominatim service.</p>
<h3>Support Development</h3>
