Overview


AfterShip Tracking facilitates seamless synchronization of orders and shipment data from your online store. This process is governed by customizable auto-import settings, empowering you to tailor the data sync according to your specific preferences and requirements.


Steps to configure shipment auto-import settings in AfterShip Tracking


  1. Log into your AfterShip Tracking admin dashboard
  2. Go to Tracking dashboards
  3. Select the Shipments or Orders dashboard
  4. Click App import
  5. Select the store that you want to auto-import shipments from
  6. Click Settings icon


  1. Once done, the auto-import settings pop-up will appear
  2. Edit the auto-import settings based on the five import settings conditions:


  • Order created within: It allows you to choose the date range of order creation to define the scope of orders and shipments to be synced. By default, it will auto-import the orders for the last 30 days.
  • Order updated within: It allows you to narrow down the synced data scope by designating the date range of the updated order. By default, it shows orders for the last 3 days.
  • Payment status: it allows you to sync shipments on the basis of their payment status, i.e., Paid, Partially paid, Partially refunded, Refunded and Unpaid. By default, it will auto-import Paid, Partially paid, and Unpaid orders.
  • Fulfillment status: It allows you to sync shipments based on their fulfillment status. By default, it will auto-import Unfulfilled, Fulfilled and Partially fulfilled orders. However, this can be adjusted if you only want to sync the orders when the order status is only Fulfilled and Partially fulfilled.
  • Exclude orders by order tags: This is an optional condition. If you don’t want to sync partial orders, you can exclude those orders synced to AfterShip Tracking by setting the order tags.


Please note that Exclude orders with certain tags feature is available for Shopify users only.
