Branded Tracking Page

This documentation outlines typical scenarios for branded tracking page related to Commerce API. For additional scenarios and further information, please refer to the index page.

1. Querying order or shipment details on the branded tracking page

By integrating order information into the AfterShip system through the Commerce API, you enable buyers to access detailed order and shipment information on your AfterShip Branded Tracking Pages. Buyers can retrieve their order details using several options, including the order number, phone number, email address, or tracking number.

1.1 Querying the order

To retrieve the details of an order, the buyer can use the order number along with one of the following pieces of information:

1. The buyer's phone number
2. The buyer's email address
3. The postal code of the buyer's address.

Branded tracking page templates labeled as 'legacy' do not include support for order look-ups using postal codes.

To allow buyers to query the order with this method, please ensure that the specified information is included when creating an order through the Commerce API. The table below outlines the required fields:

Commerce API Field Name	Description
order.number	Order number
order.customer.phones.*	The buyer's phone number
order.customer.emails.*	The buyer's email address
order.shipping_address.postal_code	The postal code of the buyer's address.

1.2 Querying the shipment

As an alternative, buyers can query shipment details by providing only the tracking number. This will allow them to access information such as the shipment's current location or checkpoint status.

Due to privacy considerations, using this querying method will prevent the branded tracking page from displaying order details. This is because the buyer has not provided specific order information, such as the order number, phone number, or email address.

The table below outlines the required fields:

Commerce API Field Name	Description
fulfillment.trackings.*.tracking_number	Tracking number of the shipment
