Parcel tracking

With package information, customers can track their delivery.

Parcel tracking

For multi-day delivery of items, it is advisable to provide users with the ability to track their order. This way, they can follow the package and see its current location and estimated delivery time. Most major courier services have advanced systems that can be integrated with your own store, allowing you to offer customers advanced insight into the status of their orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is parcel tracking so important for customer experience?

After purchase, parcel tracking is one of the most frequent customer touchpoints. The ability to track reduces the number of calls and emails about shipment status and increases buyer trust and satisfaction.

How do we integrate parcel tracking into an online store?

By integrating the delivery partner (DPD, GLS, DHL) with Magento. When an order is shipped, the system automatically adds the tracking number to the buyer's email. The buyer clicks the link and sees the shipment status in real time.

What should a shipping confirmation email with tracking information include?

Tracking number with a clickable link, delivery partner name, estimated delivery date, and contact details for any questions. Short, clear, with a "Track my package" button.

Is it worthwhile to have parcel tracking on the website (not just in email)?

Yes - an order tracking page in the user account or via order number increases customer self-sufficiency. Fewer calls and emails for the support team, better experience for the customer.

What do we do if a customer does not receive their package?

A clear policy for lost or delayed shipments builds trust. We recommend an automatic email if the package is not picked up within X days, and a simple claims process. Fast problem resolution is key to customer loyalty.
