Provider/Contact data/Web address
How to assign tracking web for a courier provider
When creating or modifiying a courier provider we have the option to add a tracking web to have a direct link for the tracking number on the shipping order button.
In order to achieve this, when editing the Provider fields, on Contact data -> Web address we have to write an additional web url with the following format:www.testweb.com | testformattrackingweb.com/search=?#tracking#=now00.
The separation betwen the two url must be exactly " | " in order to work.#tracking# is where the tracking number should be.
A real example using the world known company UPS:
The actual homepage of this provider is www.ups.com.
The page for searching the tracking number 1Z7W41130446837436 would be
http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?TypeOfInquiryNumber=T&InquiryNumber1=1Z7W41130446837436
So, our Web address field would be the following:
www.ups.com | wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?TypeOfInquiryNumber=T&InquiryNumber1=#tracking#
Note that the tracking number has been replaced for #tracking#.
