Branded Track and Trace

PREMIUM PLUS ADD-ON

Subscription plans

Branded Track and Trace allows your customers to track shipments and get detailed information about them from your branded tracking page, regardless of carrier.

You don't need the carriers’ shipment and parcel numbers since you use your own order number or reference as search parameters.

You brand your tracking page by creating templates. A template can contain, for example, your company logo, an offer or an ad, that will be displayed in the header and/or footer on the tracking page.

After a shipment has been created, that is, has been assigned a shipment and/or parcel number, it's immediately trackable on your tracking page.

Note

Branded Track and Trace works best for carriers and services that offer status and event reporting. Status availability may therefore vary.

Activate Track and Trace

  1. Go to Maintenance > My Account.

  2. Click Integrity settings.

    Caution

    Read the disclaimer on the page before activating the service.

  3. Check the Active check box.

You can activate or deactivate the service at any time.

Create a template for Branded Track and Trace

  1. Go to Maintenance > Notification templates.

  2. Click New Track and Trace template.

  3. You can upload two images, one header and one footer, with links to external sites.

    Note

    The recommended image sizes are 54 x 340 px for the top image and a max width of 750 px for the bottom image. Maximum file size is 100 kB.

  4. When the template is created, a unique template ID is generated that should be used when implementing Branded Track and Trace.

    Example: 459cbeb8-6a35-4e6f-a0ee-bb223b6858c6

Click Preview to see what the tracking page looks like.

    To use an API key you need to activate one of nShift's integration services on your account.

  • You can use either reference or order number as search parameters.

  • You can specify if you should display normal or return shipments.

  • You use a template ID to identify the branded template you want to use.
