Hello everyones , this is a little step by step on how to integrate
tracking in your Dropshipping store so that your customers can track their orders without leaving your website . , i'll use 17track external call script to do that . 17 track is a popular Tracking tool support +170 carriers including all major china carriers , i've been using it myself as a customer in aliexpress & saw a lot of peoples do so . So since we dropship from ali , it's the best choice i think .
Step 1 : Install & activate the wordpress Plugin "Code Embed" , it's a plugin that allow us to embed HTML & javascript code inside wordpress posts& pages .
Step 2 : Go & create a new page in your site , give it a name like : "Tracking" or " Shippment tracking" .
Step 3 : Write some instructions on it , like "You can track your orders here " ..etc
- Inside the editor , insert the embed code :
%CODE% . this is the default value , you can change it by going to ==> "Settings" ==> "code embed" in your Wordpress dashboard .
Step 4 : Automatticly after you insert the value , a custom field will appear under your Editor with the Name you insert + a field to insert the code .
Step 5 : Now go to the following link :
Code:
https://www.17track.net/en/externalcall/single
Copy the whole script & paste it in "Value" , like the picture : (this is the script that will let us integrate 17track inside our site)
Step 6 : Now just save your page , then you can link to it either in your Top or footer menu ,or wherever you want . Your tracking page will look like this :
And what your customers needs to do is Type their tracking number they got from you & click Track , then the 17 track widget would take the rest , showing 'em the status of their orders (in transit , deivered , not delivered , waiting custom clearence ...etc) , it also support multiple language .
Another thing i like also about the widget is that it fit the Container size , & since the Davinci theme is fully responsive , the widget show properly in mobile devices too :
You Can also customize the input & widget by adding some css style to 17track script so that it fit your site colors .
Hope theses simple steps are helpful , it's not a big deal , but it can be an important factor that influence your custmers engagement .
