Order Status & Tracking Emails for WooCommerce lets you create custom order statuses, send emails, and add tracking info.

== Description ==
Order Status & Tracking Emails for WooCommerce (OSTE) is a powerful yet lightweight plugin that allows you to create unlimited custom order statuses, send transactional emails, and insert tracking codes with carrier links — all directly from your WooCommerce store.

Main Features:

Create unlimited custom order statuses with colored badges and bulk actions.

Automatically send personalized emails for each status (HTML editor included).

Add tracking number and carrier link in the emails and in the customer's My Account page.

Rename or hide WooCommerce default statuses without writing code.

Live email edit preview

Fully translatable, 100% GPL — no third-party services required.

Perfect for store owners who want full control over order management and customer notifications.

== Installation ==

Upload the order-status-tracking-emails-for-woocommerce folder to /wp-content/plugins/ or install it via Plugins → Add New.

Activate the plugin.

Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Order Statuses to start creating and managing your custom statuses.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is it compatible with any theme? =
Yes. The plugin inherits WooCommerce's native styling from your active theme.

= Can I translate custom statuses? =
Absolutely. All plugin strings are translation-ready. You can use tools like Loco Translate or contribute via translate.wordpress.org.
