About this plugin
Stokzone for WooCommerce connects your WooCommerce store to Stokzone and adds
the shipment tracking fields that WooCommerce core does not provide.
What it does
- One-click connection. The plugin creates the WooCommerce REST API key for
you; you never have to copy ck_ / cs_ values by hand.
- Carrier, tracking number and tracking link fields. WooCommerce core has no
such fields. The plugin adds them to the order edit screen, to order emails and
to the customer’s “My account > Orders” page.
- Tracking link generation. Builds a tracking link from the tracking number
for Yurtiçi, Aras, Sürat, PTT, MNG, UPS, FedEx and DHL.
- WooCommerce REST support. Tracking data is returned in the order REST
response as a stokzone_kargo field.
- District field for Turkey. WooCommerce ships the 81 provinces but has no
district level. This adds it, off by default.
Compatibility
- Compatible with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage).
- Compatible with the WooCommerce Cart & Checkout blocks.
- Older WooCommerce versions are supported: the plugin detects capabilities,
not versions, and falls back to the classic approach when newer APIs are absent.
Requirements
Your store must be served over HTTPS. WooCommerce refuses API key
authentication over plain HTTP connections, so a store without an SSL
certificate cannot be connected. The plugin tells you this up front instead of
failing later with a misleading error.
Third-party service
This plugin connects to an external service called Stokzone. Stokzone is a
paid subscription service that manages marketplace, shipping, accounting and
fulfilment integrations from a single panel. A Stokzone account is required to
use the connection features of this plugin.

What data is sent, and where?
The plugin makes no external requests at all until you press “Connect to
Stokzone” and approve the request in your Stokzone account. After you connect,
the following is transmitted:
- Your site address and your WordPress / WooCommerce / PHP versions (for
compatibility purposes),
- The WooCommerce REST API key created by the plugin (so that Stokzone can access
your store data),
- A randomly generated signing key, unique to this installation (so that requests
coming from Stokzone can be verified).
Order, product and stock data is read by Stokzone through WooCommerce’s own
REST API.
You can end the connection at any time using “Disconnect”. Doing so deletes the
API key that was created and clears the locally stored secrets.
Carrier tracking links
To turn a tracking number into a clickable “Track shipment” link, the plugin
builds a URL that points to the relevant carrier’s own public tracking page. The
plugin itself does not send any request to these carriers or share any data
with them: it only assembles the link on your own site. It is you or your
customer who chooses to click it, and only then does the carrier’s website open
in the browser, with the tracking number carried as a URL parameter.
Tracking links can be generated for these carriers, each an independent company
with its own terms of service and privacy policy available on its site:
- Yurtiçi Kargo — https://www.yurticikargo.com
- Aras Kargo — https://www.araskargo.com.tr
- Sürat Kargo — https://www.suratkargo.com.tr
- PTT Kargo — https://www.ptt.gov.tr
- MNG Kargo — https://www.mngkargo.com.tr
- UPS — https://www.ups.com
- FedEx — https://www.fedex.com
- DHL — https://www.dhl.com
No link is built (and no carrier URL is used) unless an order has both a tracking
number and a recognised carrier.
