Orders Delivery Drivers for WooCommerce

This plugin adds a complete delivery driver management system to WooCommerce, enabling you to assign drivers to orders, track delivery status in real-time, display Google Maps, and provide drivers with a dedicated dashboard to manage their assigned deliveries.

The plugin requires WordPress 5.5 or higher and PHP 7.4 or later.

The Free version includes driver assignment, driver dashboard, delivery status tracking, Google Maps integration, mobile responsiveness, driver ratings, and an admin orders monitor. The Pro version adds auto-assignment of drivers to new orders, driver application management, multi-provider SMS notifications, enhanced email templates, and additional security controls.

This plugin works great for any WooCommerce business offering local delivery, including grocery and meal prep, flowers and gifts, local services (cleaning, repair), restaurants and takeout, and health and wellness providers.

You can assign drivers to orders using the Delivery Driver meta box on the WooCommerce order admin panel. Simply select a driver from the dropdown list for each order. If using the Pro version, you can also enable automatic driver assignment.

Drivers are created by creating a WordPress user account and assigning them the Driver role. Alternatively, in the Pro version, you can accept driver applications from a public form and approve them within WordPress admin—this automatically creates a user account with the Driver role and saves driver profile data.

The plugin assigns users the Driver role, which can work alongside other roles depending on your WordPress configuration. However, the plugin specifically manages the Driver role for driver-related functionality.

Automatic driver assignment (Pro feature) automatically assigns new orders to available drivers when they are created. The assignment algorithm can select the driver with the least open deliveries or choose a driver randomly, depending on your configuration preference.

Driver applications are managed in the WordPress admin under Users > Driver Applications, which provides three tabs: Pending (new applications), Approved (converted to driver accounts), and Rejected (declined applications).

When drivers submit applications (Pro feature), you can collect and store vehicle details, phone numbers, and profile images, which are saved to the driver's user meta in WordPress.

Drivers can view assigned and completed orders, toggle their availability (Accepting Deliveries on/off), view delivery address on a live Google Map, update order status, and access call buttons to contact dispatch or customers.

Orders support delivery statuses including Driver Assigned, Out for Delivery, and Completed. Drivers can update these statuses from the Driver Dashboard.

Yes. Drivers can mark assigned orders as Out for Delivery and Completed from the Driver Dashboard in My Account.

Yes. The frontend driver dashboard is fully responsive and optimized for drivers working in the field on mobile devices.

The main driver dashboard shortcode is [oddw_delivery_drivers_dashboard]. You can also use [oddw_dashboard] as a backward-compatible alias. This shortcode integrates with the My Account page.

Each assigned order includes a live Google Map with the delivery address marked. Drivers can view this map from the order details page in their dashboard to visualize the route quickly before heading out for delivery.

Yes, a Google Maps API key is required to display the live map in the driver order view. You configure this in WooCommerce -> Settings -> Delivery Drivers.

The plugin does not provide turn-by-turn navigation. However, a Google Maps link is generated for directions using the delivery address when the driver views the order details, which they can use to open their preferred navigation app.

The delivery address and store address are sent to Google Maps only when a driver opens an order containing the map. This is done to display the location accurately. Review Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for their data handling practices.

No. SMS notifications are optional and only sent when an SMS provider is configured. Email notifications work without SMS being set up.

The Pro version supports multi-provider SMS integration: Twilio, Vonage, MessageBird, Plivo, AWS SNS, SMS Misr (SMS Egypt), and Generic HTTP gateway.

Email notifications include templates for driver assigned, out for delivery, and completed delivery statuses. Enhanced email templates are available in the Pro version.

The Pro version includes enhanced and customizable email templates for driver assigned, out for delivery, and completed delivery notifications.

Yes. Customers can rate deliveries through the Driver Ratings feature. These ratings are stored on the order and help track driver performance.

The Admin Orders Monitor is an admin dashboard with filters, tabs, and a driver availability table that lets you monitor all orders and driver availability in one view. Use the shortcode [delivery-drivers-orders-monitor] to display it.

Yes. The Pro version includes additional permissions and security controls for admin workflows to provide more granular access management.

Yes (Pro feature). You can display a public driver application form using the [driver_application_form] shortcode, allowing interested customers or third parties to apply as drivers.

The plugin provides: [oddw_delivery_drivers_dashboard] (driver dashboard), [driver_application_form] (public driver application form), [delivery-drivers-orders-monitor] (admin orders monitor), and [oddw_dashboard] (backward-compatible driver dashboard alias).

Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/, then activate it through the WordPress admin. Go to WooCommerce -> Settings -> Delivery Drivers to configure the plugin.

After activation, view the plugin settings in WooCommerce -> Settings -> Delivery Drivers, then create drivers manually or approve driver applications (Pro feature).

Create WordPress users with the Driver role, assign them to orders using the Delivery Driver meta box during order editing, then drivers will see new orders in their Driver Dashboard and can update status.

Google Maps integration is optional but highly recommended. To use it, configure your Google Maps API key in the plugin settings. The plugin functions without it, but the map feature will not be available.
