450+ Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015. Your Tracking Experience Gets the Same Care.

After the sale, customers judge you by one question: where is my parcel? A clear page and timely messages answer it. We build those with the same attention we give a product page, because support tickets cost more than a good setup.

Who this is for

Who Needs Help With an Aftership Order Tracking Setup

Owners come to us when the app is installed but support tickets keep arriving. These are the six Aftership situations we meet most.

You are a good fit if
  • You ship physical products
  • You want a fixed price and written Aftership scope
  • You will own the Aftership account and its plan
  • You can approve email wording quickly
  • Stores buried in where-is-my-order emails

    Customers cannot find tracking, so they write to you. We make the answer easy to reach from emails and from the account.

  • Merchants using several carriers

    Tracking numbers from different services must map to the right carrier. We set rules so each shipment resolves.

  • Brands with a generic tracking page

    A page that looks like another site breaks trust. We style it to match your store's fonts, colours and tone.

  • Teams with plain shipment emails

    Default messages say little. We rewrite them so each stage tells the customer what happens next.

  • Owners who also want returns

    Returns, refunds and exchanges need a simple route. We set up the returns portal alongside tracking.

  • Founders short on time

    You would rather hand over access and get a tested flow than study every setting.

Problems solved

Why Order Tracking Setups Fall Short

The default install leaves gaps that customers fall into. These six are the most common.

  1. Customers cannot find the tracking page.

    If the link is not in the order and shipping emails or the menu, shoppers contact support instead of tracking themselves.

  2. Tracking numbers do not resolve.

    A carrier that is not matched, or a number in the wrong format, leaves a shipment stuck on a pending status.

  3. The page looks foreign.

    Default styling clashes with your store and gives an impression of an outside service rather than your brand.

  4. Notifications arrive twice or not at all.

    Shopify's own shipping emails and the app's messages can overlap, leaving customers confused or in the dark.

  5. Exceptions go unnoticed.

    Delays and failed deliveries are visible in the dashboard but nobody is told, so customers hear before you do.

  6. Returns are handled by email.

    Without a portal, each return becomes a thread of messages and manual labels.

What we can do

What Our Aftership Order Tracking Setup Covers

Six jobs make up the service. Your package decides how deep the page and email work goes.

Install and carrier mapping

We install the Aftership app, connect your store and map your carriers and shipping services so tracking numbers resolve first time.

Branded tracking page

The tracking page is styled to match your brand and added to the store through the supported route, with the right menu and footer links.

Notification emails and SMS

Shipment status messages are written and styled in your voice, and Shopify's own shipping emails are edited to carry the tracking link without duplicates.

Exception handling

We set up delivery exception and delay alerts so that you hear about a stuck parcel at the same time the customer does.

Returns portal

Where it is part of your package, we set a returns page with reasons, rules and labels that match your return policy.

Shipment testing

A test shipment is followed from dispatch to delivery to confirm the page, the emails and the dashboard agree.

What Protects Your Store and Your Customers During Aftership Setup

Shipping messages reach real customers, so these six habits come with every package.

Changes in a duplicate theme

Your live theme stays untouched by Aftership work until you approve a preview. A backup is saved first.

Test messages go to us first

Emails and SMS are sent to test addresses before any customer receives a changed message.

Least access needed

A collaborator request is enough. Card details and owner passwords are never requested during Aftership work.

No lock-in

You own the Aftership account, the theme and the data. Notes let anyone else edit the templates.

A shipment is followed end to end

The job is not finished until a shipment shows correctly on the page and in each email.

Fixed scope, two revision rounds

The Aftership price is agreed before work starts, and changes inside scope run in two structured rounds.

What we need to get started

What We Need Before We Open Aftership and Your Theme

Three ways to give access for Aftership work, then a short list of decisions only you can make.

Accept our collaborator request

Send your store address and approve the Aftership request. You stay the owner and can remove our Aftership access in one click.

No store yet? We build it first

We can create the store in our Partner account, set tracking up there and transfer ownership when finished.

Or share a staff login

A restricted staff account works too for Aftership access, though the collaborator route is easier to revoke.

Your carriers and fulfilment

Tell us which carriers or fulfilment services you use and where tracking numbers come from.

Your current shipping emails

Send examples of the emails customers receive now so we can improve them rather than start blind.

Your brand files

Send logos, colours and tone notes so the page and messages look and sound like you.

For Aftership work, owner passwords and card details are never requested. Aftership edits are made in a duplicate theme after a backup, and we log what changed.

What does Aftership pricing not tell me?

Aftership pricing is based on plan tiers and shipment volumes. It does not tell you how many shipments you will send next quarter. We estimate your volume in the brief so you pick the right plan.

How much is the Aftership cost for a small store?

The Aftership cost depends on monthly shipments and the features you use, and it is billed by Aftership. We check your volume against the plan limits so you are not surprised halfway through the month.

Can you do an Aftership Shopify integration with my fulfilment service?

Yes in most cases. An Aftership Shopify integration works with many carriers and fulfilment services, and we check yours in the brief so tracking numbers arrive and resolve.

Which Aftership carriers are supported?

Aftership carriers cover a large network, but not every local service. We check each carrier you use and tell you early if one needs a workaround.

The Post-Purchase Hub package sets up Aftership returns with reasons, rules and emails. The smaller packages focus on tracking and notifications, and returns can be added later.

No. A collaborator request keeps you as owner of the Aftership setup and can be revoked instantly. If you have no store yet we build the Aftership setup in our Partner account and transfer it.

Shopify provides basic tracking links. Aftership adds a branded page, richer messages and exception alerts. We compare them against your volume and tell you whether the extra tool is worth it.

What are the main Aftership competitors?

Other tracking and post-purchase apps exist, and they differ in carriers, price and returns. We compare two or three against your setup before you commit, and recommend one in writing.

Who handles Aftership customer service questions?
