Track shipment is easy and convenient on Shopify for both customers and sellers. Shopify adds a tracking number to the order a customer had placed on Shopify. The customer places an order, and the parcel tracking page displays the updates about the order’s shipment. The parcel tracking page shows the real-time updates about the shipping directly from the carrier.
Add a tracking number before the fulfillment of an order.
If you already have a tracking number, then it can be easy for you to add the number during the process of shipment. The tracking number is displayed after the customer has confirmed the order. When the customer places an order, he has to fill in his personal details and contact information. The tracking number and shipping details are sent to the email address of the customer. The real-time updates are also sent to the customer’s email after every progress in the shipment.
Here are the steps to add a parcel tracking page to Shopify:
- Go to the orders page and select the order number. Go to the order number page and click on partially fulfilled or unfulfilled.
- Go to the unfulfilled page and select the mark as fulfilled.
- Shopify provides a tracking details page on the website. You can go to the information section and add details of your tracking shipment number.
- Shopify will be able to recognize your tracking number and will automatically select a shipping carrier. If Shopify doesn’t choose the right carrier, then you can choose the correct one for you. There is a drop-down menu that has all other shipping carrier options.
- If the carrier you have selected is not supported, then you can include the URL of the tracking number manually. This will allow the tracking number to appear on the tracking page directly. Always be careful when adding the URL because an incomplete URL will not track the shipment.
