Simplify Logistics with ShippingTracker v1.1.0 for Laravel

As a Laravel developer passionate about e-commerce in Africa and Europe, I know logistics can be a headache. Couriers like Sendbox and Cargoplug use inconsistent APIs and webhook formats, making shipment tracking a chore. That’s why I built ShippingTracker v1.1.0, an open-source Laravel package to streamline logistics, and I’m excited to share it with you!

Why ShippingTracker?

ShippingTracker abstracts the mess of courier APIs, letting you focus on building great e-commerce apps. Here’s what it offers:

Easy Webhook Handling: Processes Sendbox and Cargoplug webhooks, saving tracking data (e.g., “delivered in Lagos”) with a clean event system.
Extensible: Add new providers (like DHL, planned for v1.2.1) without touching core code.
Laravel 9–12 Ready: Works across Laravel 9, 10, 11, and 12.
Beginner-Friendly: Simple setup with commands like composer install quitenoisemaker/shipping-tracker:^1.1`and a facade(ShippingTracker::use('sendbox')->track('101782511')).
Tested & Reliable: PHPUnit tests ensure webhook validation and provider switching work flawlessly.

Why It Matters

E-commerce is growing fast, but logistics remains tricky. ShippingTracker empowers devs to deliver real-time tracking to customers without API headaches, perfect for shops in Lagos or London.

Get Started

Install it in minutes:

` composer require quitenoisemaker/shipping-tracker:^1.1 php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Quitenoisemaker\ShippingTracker\ShippingTrackerServiceProvider" --tag=config `

Update config/shipping-tracker.php and .env with your courier credentials, run migrations, and you’re good to go! Check the GitHub repo for setup and webhook examples.
