Add entry points so shoppers can reach the tracking page, then finally turn on delivery status collection to start operations.
| # | Setting | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 4-1 | Adding entry points (optional) | Add links so shoppers can reach the tracking page (they can already reach it from the notification emails, so this is optional) |
| 4-2 | Turn on delivery status collection | Start importing delivery information and begin operations |
4-1. Adding entry points
Shoppers automatically receive shipping notification emails as the delivery status changes, and can reach the tracking page from the links in those emails. Adding extra entry points is therefore not required.
That said, for shoppers who do not open the emails, some stores place links to the tracking page in locations like the following. Consider them as needed.
| Location | Description |
|---|---|
| Store footer | A permanent link such as "Check delivery status" |
| Order confirmation email | Mention the tracking page in the email sent right after the order |
| My page / FAQ | Add a link to the tracking page in answers such as "When will my order arrive?" |
※You can find the tracking page URL at Settings > Shopper portal > Domain, in the "配送追跡画面 URL" (tracking page URL) field
💡 Tip: open the page with the delivery status already shown
By adding parameters to the tracking page URL, you can open the page with the delivery status already shown, skipping the search. This is useful anywhere you can embed order details, such as a shipping confirmation email.
| Parameter | How to use |
|---|---|
tracking_number | The tracking number. This alone is enough to show the delivery status |
order_number | The order number. Use it together with postal_code |
postal_code | The shipping postal code. Use it together with order_number |
Example URLs:
https://(tracking page URL)?tracking_number=xxxxx https://(tracking page URL)?order_number=xxxxx&postal_code=xxxxx
4-2. Turn on delivery status collection
Once the entry points and notification emails are ready, turn on delivery status collection as the final step. Delivery information import and notification emails start from the moment you turn it on.
Important
Before turning it on, make sure that 2-5. Notification emails is complete. If you turn it on with the email setup unfinished, unintended emails may be sent to shoppers.
Shipments created while collection is off cannot be tracked later
Shipment information created while delivery status collection is off cannot be imported retroactively after you turn it on. If you delay turning it on too long while waiting for the entry points, orders from that period will not be tracked.
