About ParcelCue Tracking for WooCommerce
From the official readme · v1.1.5Description
ParcelCue Tracking for WooCommerce is a lightweight shipment tracking workflow for small WooCommerce stores.
It helps store owners add tracking number, carrier, and shipped date to WooCommerce orders, optionally mark orders as Completed, include tracking details in the WooCommerce completed-order email, and sync shipment tracking to PayPal when the order was paid through PayPal.
Core features:
- Simple shipment tracking box on the WooCommerce order page
- Tracking number, carrier, optional custom carrier name, and shipped date
- Option to mark the order as Completed after saving tracking
- Optional tracking details in WooCommerce completed-order emails
- Automatic PayPal tracking sync for PayPal-paid orders
- PayPal tracking correction when tracking number or carrier changes
- One clear save button: PayPal orders sync automatically, non-PayPal orders save locally
- Works for non-PayPal orders too; PayPal sync is skipped when not needed
- Live PayPal REST API setup with optional Sandbox/Test mode
- PayPal connection test
- Human-readable sync status on each order
- Recent logs for failed syncs and optional debug logging
ParcelCue does not replace WooCommerce, PayPal, or your shipping carrier. It provides a simple tracking workflow inside WooCommerce.
Third-Party Services
ParcelCue Tracking for WooCommerce can connect to PayPal’s REST API when you test PayPal credentials or sync shipment tracking for a PayPal-paid order.
This plugin may send requests to PayPal only when:
- A store administrator clicks the PayPal connection test button.
- Shipment tracking is saved for an order that the plugin detects as PayPal-paid.
- A store administrator manually provides PayPal order, capture, or transaction details for sync.
Data sent to PayPal may include:
- PayPal REST API Client ID and Client Secret when requesting an access token
- PayPal order, capture, or transaction identifiers found on the WooCommerce order
- Tracking number
- Carrier
- Custom carrier name, if used
- Shipped date
- Order item names, SKUs, and quantities when included in the PayPal tracking request
PayPal API requests are sent to PayPal’s live or sandbox API endpoints depending on the selected plugin mode.

Installation
- Upload the plugin ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, or install it from the WordPress.org plugin directory when available.
- Activate the plugin.
- Go to WooCommerce > ParcelCue Tracking.
- Add your Live PayPal REST API Client ID and Client Secret if you want PayPal tracking sync.
- Use Sandbox/Test mode only if your PayPal checkout is also using PayPal Sandbox/Test mode.
- Open a WooCommerce order and use the ParcelCue Shipment Tracking box.
Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin require PayPal?
No. You can use ParcelCue to add tracking information to non-PayPal orders too. For non-PayPal orders, the plugin saves the tracking details and skips PayPal sync.
Does this plugin send the WooCommerce completed order email?
If you choose to mark the order as Completed, WooCommerce sends its normal completed-order email. ParcelCue can optionally add carrier, tracking number, and shipped date to that email.
Does this plugin track carrier delivery status?
No. This Lite version saves shipment tracking details and syncs them to PayPal when possible. It does not monitor real-time carrier status or automatically change orders to Delivered.
Do I need Sandbox/Test mode?
Most live stores should use Live mode. Use Sandbox/Test mode only when your PayPal checkout is also running in PayPal Sandbox/Test mode.
Where are PayPal API credentials stored?
The Client ID and Client Secret are stored on your own WordPress site and used only to request PayPal API access for tracking sync.
Changelog
1.1.5
- Add five WordPress.org screenshot captions covering PayPal tracking sync, settings, completed-order emails, and non-PayPal order workflows.
- No functional code changes.
1.1.4
- Simplify the order-page workflow to one primary save button. PayPal-paid orders show Save Tracking & Sync to PayPal; non-PayPal orders show Save Tracking.

- Avoid unnecessary PayPal API calls when the last successful ParcelCue PayPal sync already matches the current tracking details.
