How to import/add tracking details to orders in bulk from couriers?

The following article explains how to import/add tracking details to orders in bulk from the courier.

This feature is available in the Lite, Professional, Premium and Managed subscriptions of One Stop Order Processing.

In One Stop Order Processing, you can update the tracking information of your orders in bulk by importing a CSV file from your courier.

If you use couriers to ship your parcels, it is often the case that you can export a CSV file which contains the the tracking information and numbers in for your orders.

As long as this file includes the Order number for the orders you are looking to update in One Stop Order Processing, this method will work with most courier systems.

You will need to take a look at the downloaded CSV file from the courier and create a header line to match the columns in the file.

As an example, if the file had a layout like the following separated by commas:

8176,UPS,1Z 845 91267
8177,UKMail,80540099001

You would use a header line as follows:

Order ID,Courier,Tracking ID

The list of fields that you can choose from to update are at the following link:

When you import the file, the Courier and Tracking ID will appear on the Shipping tab in the order.

You can include the tracking details in emails (or invoices) using the [%COURIER%] and [%TRACKING_ID%] macros.
