Delivery drivers page
This plugin creates a page used for the delivery driver’s Mobile-Friendly panel URL. The delivery drivers can access it from their mobile phones.
Notice: If you want to be logged in as an administrator and check the drivers’ panel on the same device, you must work with two different browsers. Otherwise, you will log out from the admin panel, and the drivers’ panel won’t function correctly.
Google API key
To use the Google Maps API, you need to create two keys for application restrictions.

Delivery statuses
The delivery statuses manage the delivery process from claim orders until delivered. This plugin creates three new order statuses:
- Driver assigned status – The delivery driver was assigned to order.
- Out for delivery – The delivery driver is about to deliver the shipment.
- Failed delivery attempt status – The delivery driver attempted to deliver but failed.
The other statuses are WooComerce statuses:
- Delivered status – The shipment was delivered successfully; this is the WooComerce complete order status.
- Order processing status – The orders are ready for delivery, and drivers can claim orders; this is the WooComerce processing status.
- You can always change each process status as you like.

Dispatch phone number
You need to enter your store phone number, which lets the drivers call this number if they have questions about orders and deliveries
