How To Integrate E-Commerce Stores To Detrack

Introduction

Detrack has an integration platform – Detrack Connect for easy and direct integration with other software and E-Commerce platforms.

Detrack Connect acts as a bridge like how Zapier functions, to link up merchant’s storefronts like Shopify and WooCommerce to Detrack where orders and delivery requests from these E-stores can be automatically pulled to facilitate live tracking and automated delivery status notifications.

Using Detrack Connect is FREE and there are no limits to the number of connections that you can create.

For 3PLs / Transporters

If you are a 3PL or a transporter delivering for E-Commerce merchants, all the heavy lifting work to integrate to your clients’ E-Commerce stores is done with Detrack Connect. This integration is absolutely free.

You will be able to pitch to your clients an automated workflow for their orders to go into your Detrack account and optionally, for delivery completed statuses to be updated in your clients’ E-commerce shopfronts (available for Shopify and WooCommerce).

Benefits of using Detrack Connect:

  • Offer your customers an integrated last mile delivery system with no integration cost
  • Win contracts from E-Commerce merchants providing local deliveries with live tracking and real-time electronic proof of deliveries
  • Eliminate manual entering of delivery information
  • Eliminate receiving delivery manifests from merchants late
  • Auto-update delivery completion status (available for Shopify and WooCommerce) to your customers’ account
  • Serve unlimited E-Commerce merchants

All it takes to get started is to setup the Detrack connection with your client.

For E-Commerce Merchant

No matter your last mile deliveries are done in-house with your own fleet, outsourced or a combination of both, you will be able to make use of Detrack Connect to let your buyers track their deliveries and also be protected with a real-time electronic proof of delivery that can stand against potential chargeback frauds or customers’ disputes.

For the integration, you will need a Detrack Connect account (very much like Zapier just that is totally free!)

Detrack Connect is a secure integration platform where you can input your E-Store API key, configure job filters, designate the Detrack account to send the orders to and decide on the delivery rules. Be assured that your transporter while enjoying the automation of having the jobs sent to their Detrack account, will not have any access to your confidential E-store API key.

Benefits of using Detrack Connect:

  • FREE and immediate integration with your E-Commerce storefronts like Shopify, WooCommerce and more
  • Eliminate daily manual import of delivery manifests into Detrack
  • Auto-update delivery completion status (available for Shopify and WooCommerce)
