WooCommerce is introducing a built-in order fulfillment system to improve shipment management and customer updates.
Currently, merchants struggle with tracking shipments and handling partial fulfillments, often resorting to workarounds.
The new proposed system will add fulfillment records per order, enabling multiple shipments, tracking updates, and status notifications (unfulfilled, partially fulfilled, and fulfilled).
Customers will be able to access tracking details via their account as well as from email alerts.
Development of this feature is planned to begin in Q2 2025.

In this useful article from Studio Wombat, Ine discusses efficient methods to create unique, one-time-use coupon codes in bulk for WooCommerce stores.
This can be particularly useful for promotional campaigns such as flash sales or personalized discounts.
She outlines two primary approaches: using a free plugin or implementing custom code.
The custom code approach involves creating a PHP script that defines parameters such as the number of coupons, the discount type, the amount, and the expiry date.
When you run this script, unique coupon codes are generated and added directly to the store.
