testuserabc Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I am new to UPS and there is urgent requirement that UPS shipping module has to be integrated into the application. The process went on smoothly with the UPS XML Rates and Services, Time-in-Transit tools. But I am stuck with the Tracking module. What is this Tracking Number, how to fetch it through the application and then finally integrate the Tracking Application based on Tracking number. Can somebody help me on this. It is very urgent requirement. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Install the package tracking contribution. I'm not sure if that is the name but searching for that or ups tracking should make it easy to find.

testuserabc Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 My question is How to get the reference number ? Is UPS going to mail us after transaction ? Or we have to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 You have to create a shipment with UPS. When you do, the tracking number will be available, Jack Support Links: For Hire: Contact me for anything you need help with for your shop: upgrading, hosting, repairs, code written, etc. All of My Addons Get the latest versions of my addons Recommended SEO Addons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testuserabc Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Is that Tracking Number mailed to the customer. How can we maintain that tracking number in the oscommerce application ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhande Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Is that Tracking Number mailed to the customer. :blink: No the tracking number is not mailed to the customer. The customer would receive the package before receiving the mailed tracking number! The sender gets the tracking number. The customer calls sender for the tracking number. Some websites have it intergrated so that the customer can log back in and get all that info. I don't know how it works with osC, I'm new to it as I just downloaded it the other day. IMHO, I would ship FedEx. I had bad experiences with UPS (well 40% vs. 60%), but FedEx always found me and my packages arrived undamaged. :thumbsup: - :: Jim :: - - My Toolbox ~ Adobe Web Bundle, XAMPP & WinMerge | Install ~ osC v2.3.3.4 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 usually with the default osc you place the tracking number with the order comments and then when you update the order from the osc admin an email is sent to the customer with all details. There are modules which enhance this, perhaps adding a dedicated tracking number field with each order. Now if you know the specifics of the carrier and they provide some automatic mechanism to retrieve the tracking number once you place the shipment you could integrate it with your osc commerce. Still some sort of manual operation is required to verify payment and then proceed with the shipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Enigma1, Since this post was written in 2006, do you know whether anyone has created "some automatic mechanism to retrieve the tracking number"? This is exactly what I need to use exactly as you described above, all automated since we have 50+ orders and growing at www.shopdango.com. Thank you for your reply, Peter Pete Schulte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
