Tracking

Tracking Your Shipments

CommerceShip provides unified tracking across all your carriers in a single dashboard. How tracking works After a shipping label is generated and the carrier scans the package, tracking events appear automatically in CommerceShip. Events are standardized across carriers so you see consistent status updates regardless of which carrier is handling the shipment. What you can track - Shipments created in CommerceShip - External tracking numbers imported from other systems - Orders synced from connected ecommerce platforms Tracking statuses Shipments move through stages like label created, in transit, out for delivery, and delivered. CommerceShip normalizes these statuses across carriers so you do not need to learn each carrier's terminology. Sales channel sync Tracking data is pushed back to your connected sales channels automatically. When a shipment is delivered, your ecommerce platform is updated without manual intervention.

Integrations

Connecting Your Ecommerce Platform

CommerceShip integrates with ecommerce platforms to automatically sync orders, customers, and tracking data. Shopify CommerceShip has a dedicated Shopify app. Once installed, orders sync automatically from your Shopify store. When you ship an order in CommerceShip, tracking information is pushed back to Shopify and your customers are notified. Other platforms CommerceShip supports connections to additional ecommerce platforms, marketplaces, WMS, OMS, and ERP systems through our integrations module. CSV import If your platform is not directly supported, you can import orders via CSV. CommerceShip supports field mapping so you can match your CSV columns to the correct order fields. API For custom integrations, use the CommerceShip RESTful JSON API to push orders, pull tracking data, and manage shipments programmatically.

Account & Users

Adding Team Members and Roles

Click Invite User. 3. Enter their email address and select a role. 4. They will receive an email invitation to create their account. Available roles CommerceShip has several roles that control access to different parts of the platform. Roles range from full administrative access to view-only or function-specific access (such as operations, finance, or support). The role you assign determines which pages and actions the team member can use. Changing roles Admins can change a user's role at any time from the user management page. Permission changes take effect on the user's next login. Sub-accounts For enterprise customers managing multiple business units or clients, CommerceShip supports account hierarchies with sub-accounts. Each sub-account has its own users and data, with the parent account maintaining oversight. If you need a custom role configuration or have questions about permissions, contact us and we can discuss options for your team structure.
