How to create a new delivery driver on WooCommerce?

To add a new delivery driver to your WooCommerce store using the Local Delivery Drivers for WooCommerce Premium plugin, follow these steps:

Step 1: Go to the Add New User Page

You can create a new delivery driver only from the Add New User page in your WordPress admin.

  • Optionally, from the plugin dashboard, click the Add New Driver button. This will redirect you to the Add New User page.

Step 2: Fill Out Driver Information

  1. In the WordPress admin, go to Users > Add New.
  2. Fill out the following fields:
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Email
    • Password
  3. Under Role, select Delivery Driver.
  4. Click the Add New User button.

⚠️ Make sure the email address is unique and not already used by another user.

Step 3: Set Driver Phone Number and Country

  1. After creating the user, you will be redirected to the Edit User page.
  2. In the Delivery Driver Info section, enter:
    • Driver Phone Number
    • Country
  3. Click the Update User button to save changes.

Step 4: Configure Driver Settings

Still on the Edit User page, in the Delivery Driver Info section, configure the following options:

  • Driver Account Status
    Set the account to Active or Not Active. Only active drivers can log in to the drivers’ panel.
  • Driver Availability
    Set whether the driver is Available for work today.
  • Can Claim Orders
    Enable this option if the driver is allowed to claim available orders from the driver panel.

You can update these settings at any time from the user’s page or from the plugin dashboard.
