AUTOMATIC SHIPPING ESTIMATION

The WCST plugin has another useful feature: Estimated shippings dates. The shop admin, simply using a shortcode or setting the automatic estimted date option (in the plugin options menu), can show on products pages the estimated shipping date. This is calculated automatically on the basis of “Estimation rule” that matches that product. How it works? it’s simple! You have only to do two steps: FIRST STEP: Estimated dates configuration Using the “Estimated shipping configurator” under the “Shipping tracking” menu, the shop admin can create multiple “Estimation rules”. For each of them he can select:

1. Products/Categories: Selection of products and/or categories to which the rule applies.
2. Dispatch / Shipment days: days in which the goods are shipped/dispatched to the courier.
3. Cut-off hour: if an order is placed befor that hour, the shippment takes place on the same day (if it is a dispatch / shipment day).
4. Dispatch delay : If this value is specified, the estimated date will be computed starting from the first dispatch day avaiable after the delay (expressed in day).
5. Holidays / Non working days: days in which shippments cannot take place.

SECOND STEP: Use the shortcode (or setting the automatic estimted date option) on product page In the product page, on the description or short description or any tab, the shop admin can use the special [wcst_show_estimated_date] shortcode to display the estimated shipping date. In alternative the shop admin can enable the the automatic estimted date option display (in the plugin options menu). The plugin will tehn calculate the date finding the “Estimation” rule that matches the item. The plugin will automatically find the next working day where the item can be shipped. Further more, on the product list a new column is added displaying the Estimated shipping rule that matches the product.

TRACKING FORM SHORTCODE

Using the special shortcode [wcst_tracking_form] a tracking form can be displayed in any post/page that will allow the user to choose the shipping company (using a select menu) and input the tracking code and to be redirected to the shipping company tracking page. The tracking code can also be used with the parameters:

1. company_id (company id can be retreived in the company configuration page): [wcst_tracking_form company_id=”“] In this way the shipping company will be already selected (the shipping company select menu is thus hidden).
2. button_classes: [wcst_tracking_form button_classes=”class1 class2”] in this way the specified classes will be added to the tracking button.

AFTERSHIP AND TRACKINGMORE TRACKING URL SUPPORT

Create a custom company and then enable the “Aftership service” or the “TrackingMore” option. The plugin will automatically generate the tracking url using the Aftership/TrackingMore service and the tacking code inserted in the order page! (Note: The standard track.aftership.com and track.trackingmore.com url are used. Make sure the shipping company you are using is supported by Aftership/TrackingMore)

AUTOFOCUS ON TRACKING INPUT FIELD AND SEARCH BY TRACKING CODE AND SHIPPING COMPANY NAME!
