Tracking URL: Direct All Tracking Links to Tracktor
When a customer clicks a tracking link in their order confirmation or on the Order Status page, Shopify sends them to the carrier's website by default. This feature redirects those links to your Tracktor tracking page instead.
The benefits of keeping customers on your store:
Your branding stays consistent throughout the post-purchase experience
Customers can track their order without leaving your site, which reduces "where is my order" support requests
You can display featured product recommendations on the tracking page based on what they purchased
If Shopify doesn't support your carrier, customers would normally have to look up their tracking number manually. Tracktor maps the carrier and makes it one click
Where tracking links will be updated
Once enabled, Tracktor will redirect tracking links in the following places:
Order Status page
Shipping Out for Delivery email notifications
Shipping Delivered email notifications
For Order Confirmation and Shipping Confirmation emails, follow [these instructions] instead.
Steps to enable the Tracking URL feature:
From your Tracktor dashboard, navigate to the Tracking Page tab.
In the Fulfillment Events section, enable the Notifications toggle

Click the Delivery Notifications link and confirm that both Shipping Out for Delivery and Shipping Delivered are checked in your Shopify settings.

Back in the Fulfillment Events section on the Tracktor app dashboard, enable the Tracking URL toggle.

Once saved, all tracking numbers will automatically direct customers to Tracktor with their order details auto-populated.
Example
Here is an example of an Order Status page where the tracking link now directs to the store's Tracktor tracking page instead of the carrier website.
