Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureKeep your customers updated on where their packages are, so they don't have to write to ask. Shipping Tracker follows every fulfillment with a tracking number, detects the carrier and emails your customers when the shipping status changes. All your tracking numbers live in one place, and customers see their order's shipping history on a tracking page inside your store.
Trace adds shipment tracking to signed-in customer accounts. Buyers can see separate shipments, the latest fulfillment status, and when an update is missing or more than 48 hours old. Merchants control activation and can view their tracked-order allowance. Tracking uses existing fulfillment records and recent orders; it does not guarantee delivery dates or universal carrier coverage.
- Keep your customers updated sending email and SMS with shipping status changes.
- Branded and custom the tracking page inside your store.
- Shipment status history dashboard.
- Show separate shipment statuses for split orders.
- Flag missing or stale updates and direct buyers to the store for help.
- Show tracking only to the signed-in customer who owns the order.
