Shipment Tracking PRO ​

Adds tracking numbers to orders with carrier links and an automatic customer email.

Category: Physical · Enable at: Ambikly → Add-ons → Shipment Tracking

What it does ​

One order can carry several tracking entries for partial shipments, with six pre-seeded carriers whose URL templates turn a number into a live link. Adding the first entry can flip the order to shipped and write an order note; every entry can email the customer. Shipments show on the admin order and the customer’s account.

Capabilities ​

  • Multiple tracking entries per order
  • Six pre-seeded carriers — UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, Royal Mail, Australia Post — plus Other
  • Optional auto-mark-shipped on the first entry, with an audit note
  • Optional customer notification email
  • Duplicate entries return the existing row instead of re-emailing
  • Customers see only their own shipments
  • Deleting the last shipment reverts the fulfillment status

Turn it on ​

  1. Make sure Ambikly Pro is active and your license is activated under Ambikly → Settings → License.
  2. Go to Ambikly → Add-ons, find Shipment Tracking and switch it on. There is nothing else to install.
  3. Open its settings panel and set the options listed below.
  4. Visit your storefront to confirm the new surface appears: shipments on the customer’s account order view.

Settings ​

Open the add-on's settings panel from Ambikly → Add-ons → Shipment Tracking.

  • Email customer when tracking is added
  • Mark order as shipped on first tracking entry

Where it appears ​

On the storefront

  • Shipments on the customer’s account order view
  • “Your order has shipped” email

In the admin

  • Shipments on the order detail screen
  • Add / delete tracking entries

Third-party services ​

This add-on talks to:

  • Carrier tracking links (no API calls)

You supply your own credentials; they are stored on your server and masked in the admin. Nothing is proxied through Ambikly.

For developers ​

REST routes

  • GET /ambikly-pro/v1/shipments
  • POST /ambikly-pro/v1/shipments
  • DELETE /ambikly-pro/v1/shipments/{id}

Every route enforces the same capability checks as the rest of the API — see the REST API guide.

Core hooks it listens to

  • ambikly_order_detail_extras
  • ambikly_account_order_extras
  • rest_api_init

The full list is in the hooks reference.

Questions ​

Does it call carrier APIs for live status? ​

No. It stores the number and builds a link from a per-carrier URL template.

Can one order have several tracking numbers? ​

Yes — designed for partial shipments. Only the first entry flips the order to shipped.

Can a customer see someone else’s tracking? ​

No. Non-staff callers must own the order or the request is refused.

Turning it off ​

Switch the add-on off from Ambikly → Add-ons. Its settings and data stay in the database, so turning it back on restores exactly what you had. A lapsed license pauses it the same way — the store keeps selling on the free core, and nothing is deleted.

PROShipment Tracking is part of Ambikly Pro

One license covers all 35 add-ons — $199 a year or $549 once for a single site. Nothing here is sold separately.
