    Using a barcode scanner for shipping tracking

    Hi guys, is it possible to scan a shipping label with a barcode code scanner and have the tracking number entered in to the Tracking code on the progress tab of an order ? I'm changing shipping providers and trying to figure out an easy way to keep track of shipping numbers. Sorry if this has been asked before , I could not find anything on search.

    Think I may have answered my own question. If I place the mouse cursor into the Tracking code field and then use the scanner (I've just ordered one from amazon) it will act just like a keyboard and enter the tracking number.

      Yes this is exactly what we do, although we scan it to journal and then copy and paste into tracking.

      If we scan straight in to tracking it also includes a return and closes the order. Hence our work around in journal.

      We also include a link in the email that tracks the parcel.

          Hi you should be able to set the scanner to either have, or nor have a carriage return at the end of the scan. We have more than one scanner, set differently depending on what we are doing. You can also set them to scan and send a TAB, or space etc.

            Yes the scanner I just received from Amazon had a "settings" card to have "no terminator" so I can enter the tracking number without closing the order.
