Overview
Advance Partial Shipment for WooCommerce lets you fulfil an order in stages. Ship the items you have in stock now, record the carrier and tracking number, and leave the remaining quantities for a later shipment, all from a meta box on the order edit screen.
Each shipment has its own fulfilment status (Ready, Picked, Dispatched, Delivered), shipment date, estimated delivery date and notes. Customers receive a WooCommerce email with the shipped items and a tracking link, and can follow progress on their order page or on a tracking page you publish with a shortcode.
Order statuses update automatically: orders move to Partially Shipped when some items have gone out and can switch to Completed once everything has shipped. Quantities are calculated net of refunds, and a Fulfillment Report, REST endpoint and signed outgoing webhooks help you keep an eye on the backlog and keep other systems in sync.

Why store owners choose it
Ship in-stock items straight away instead of holding the whole order until every line is ready.
Give customers a carrier and tracking link for every parcel, not just the first one.
Keep order statuses accurate automatically as items are shipped, partially shipped or refunded.
See your unshipped backlog and average time to first shipment in one report.
Everything is managed from the WooCommerce order screen and the Partial Shipment settings tab, with no separate dashboard to learn.

Features
Partial and full shipments
Choose the quantity to ship for each line item and create as many shipments per order as you need. Remaining quantities stay available for the next shipment.
Per-shipment tracking
Pick a carrier from the built-in, country-grouped provider list or add your own providers with a tracking URL template, available on every order. Enter a tracking number for each shipment.
Fulfilment workflow
Mark each shipment Ready, Picked, Dispatched or Delivered with one click, and record the shipment date, estimated delivery date, internal notes and customer-facing notes.
Customer shipment emails
New Partial Shipment and Partial Shipment Update emails list the shipped items, provider and tracking link with a QR code. Send them on creation or only when a shipment is first marked Picked.
Automatic order statuses
Adds a Partially Shipped order status and can switch orders to Completed once all items have shipped. Quantities are net of refunds, so refunding what is still unshipped completes the order.
Customer tracking timeline
Customers see a step-by-step shipment timeline on their View Order page, and the [wphub_shipment_tracking] shortcode adds a public tracking-number lookup page.
Fulfillment Report
A report under WooCommerce shows complete, partial and unshipped orders, backlog quantity, average days to first shipment and to completion, with filters and CSV export.
REST API and webhooks
Read, create, edit, re-stage or delete shipments through a key-protected REST endpoint, and push created, updated and deleted events as signed JSON to your own URL.
Bulk and admin tools
Create shipments for all remaining physical items across selected orders in one bulk action, mark existing orders as shipped in the background, and print packing slips and delivery notes with PDF Invoice for WooCommerce.

- PHP 7.4 or later

Frequently asked questions
Can I ship the same order in more than two parts?
Yes. You can create as many shipments per order as you need, choosing the quantity for each line item. The plugin tracks what has already shipped and only offers the remaining, non-refunded quantity.
Which carriers are supported?
The plugin includes a built-in list of tracking providers grouped by shipping country, and you can paste any tracking URL. Carriers you add under Settings > Partial Shipment > Shipping Providers (Provider Name|Tracking URL with %1$s for the number) appear on every order. The provider is optional; a tracking number is enough.
When does the customer receive the shipment email?
By default the email is sent as soon as a shipment is created. You can change the Shipment Email Trigger so it is sent only when the shipment is first marked Picked, in which case each shipment is emailed at most once.
How do I connect the REST API and webhooks?
Enable the API under WooCommerce > Settings > Partial Shipment and copy the API key. Send it in the X-WPX-Key header or as an Authorization: Bearer token to /wp-json/wxp-shipment-data/wxp-data/ with an order-id and an action (read, update, ship_all, edit, status or delete). For push updates, enter an Outgoing Webhook URL: created, updated and deleted events are posted as JSON and signed with an X-WPHub-Signature (HMAC-SHA256) header.
How do I print packing slips and delivery notes?
Install and activate our PDF Invoice for WooCommerce plugin. Packing Slip and Delivery Note buttons then appear for each shipment in the order’s Partial Shipment box. Without it the buttons are simply hidden.
What about orders placed before I installed the plugin?
The settings page includes a Mark existing orders as shipped tool. It creates Delivered shipments for orders with the statuses you choose and runs in the background using WooCommerce scheduled actions.
How do I activate my licence and get updates?
Your licence key is emailed after purchase and is also shown in My Account → Downloads. In WordPress go to Plugins → WpExperts Hub Licences, paste the key and click Activate licence. New versions then appear on the normal Dashboard → Updates screen. A key can be active on as many live sites as you purchased; staging and local development sites do not count.
How do I get support?
Email support@wpexpertshub.com with your order details and a description of the issue, and our team will help you.
