About this plugin
NJIXHOST Shipment Tracking & Logistics provides a self-contained shipment workflow for courier, transport, freight, and logistics websites. All included shipment-management and public-tracking features work without an account, license key, trial, quota, or paid upgrade.
Features include:
- Unique high-entropy tracking numbers with an optional custom prefix
- Shipment status, origin, destination, current location, schedule, and delivery estimate
- Append-only tracking history in the normal WordPress editing workflow
- Public [njixhost_shipment_tracking] search form and privacy-limited REST response
- Optional OpenStreetMap location view or Google route map
- Google address autocomplete and draggable origin, current-location, and destination points
- Company logo, contact details, brand color, and configurable public party-name visibility
- Scanner-compatible Code 39 shipment barcodes
- Downloadable branded shipment receipt PDF
- Multiple package rows, dimensions, weight, volume, and volumetric-weight totals
- Administrator-defined shipment types, statuses, couriers, service modes, currencies, and piece types
- Client and administrator status-update email templates with documented merge tags
- Dedicated shipment-manager role and granular WordPress capabilities
- Nonces, capability checks, input validation, output escaping, and public request rate limiting
Maps are disabled by default. Administrators can explicitly select OpenStreetMap or Google Maps in Map Setup. Phone numbers, email addresses, and street addresses are not included in public tracking results or the public REST response.
External services
The plugin does not contact NJIXHOST or any licensing, analytics, advertising, or telemetry service.
Maps are disabled by default. If a site administrator selects a map provider, shipment administration and public tracking pages can load resources directly from that provider:
- OpenStreetMap embeds are loaded from openstreetmap.org. OpenStreetMap’s privacy policy is available at https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy.
- Google Maps scripts and embeds are loaded from maps.googleapis.com, google.com, and maps.google.com using the API key supplied by the site administrator. Google’s privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy and its Maps Platform terms at https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms.
Those providers may receive technical request data such as the visitor’s IP address, browser information, referrer, and the route or location requested. Selecting a provider in Map Setup is the administrator’s explicit opt-in to these connections.
Privacy
The plugin stores shipment data as WordPress posts and post metadata. Depending on what an operator enters, that data can include shipper and receiver names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, route locations, package details, administrative comments, and status history.
Public tracking intentionally excludes phone numbers, email addresses, and street addresses. Administrators control whether party names appear. Shipment email notifications are disabled by default.
The plugin adds suggested disclosure text to Settings > Privacy for use in the site’s privacy policy.
Public tracking lookups use a short-lived, one-way hash of the requester IP address in a WordPress transient to apply rate limiting. The raw IP address is not stored by the plugin.
Hosting
Developed by NJIXHOST. An optional hosting link is available on the plugin settings page. Hosting purchases are not required to use any plugin feature.
The plugin does not send referral identifiers, analytics, or site data to NJIXHOST.
