Online order tracking

[Daveb]

In the Progress tab, under the tracking code field, a field to display the shipping company used would be nice ie: UPS Fedex, etc.
Seeing the tracking code only doesn't tell the buyer which shippers website to check on.

Thanks

I saw this and thought the same.

+1 from me.

and maybe a clickable link

Yea and maybe a clickable link to view the couriers order tracking information

You could create a custom "Web site description" field in Business Settings which could present the courier information to the customer.
e.g.
-Awaiting Payment
-Order shipped
-Order Cancelled
-With "DHL"
-EN route with Royal Mail

etc
This would allow a more specific feedback to the customer on the order status.

Also, if you were only using one courier you could amend the order status layout to include a link to that couriers tracking page, embedding the Tracking Code into the HTML link to allow a simple click to display the tracking status with that particular courier.

Just an idea.....

Like the extra description field but..

I like the use of the extra description field but would this have to be updated manually for every order, I believe the first four are automatically updated.

The courier we use gives individual links for each consignment which allows the customer to view delivery status with one click, could this be added somehow

Thanks

If you already are entering the tracking number to the order then in the "My Account Bulk Area" you could make the following amendment, assuming that the relevant courier company can provide a suitable link...:

change

<td><actinic:variable name="MyAccountOrderDeliveryTracking" /></td>

to

<td><a href="http://www.mycouriertrackingurl.com/tracking.php?ID=<actinic:variable name="MyAccountOrderDeliveryTracking" />"><actinic:variable name="MyAccountOrderDeliveryTracking" /></a></td>

where "http://www.mycouriertrackingurl.com/tracking.php?ID=" would be the link that your courier would provide for showing the tracking.

Hope that makes sense?
