Title: Integrate ParcelApp for Unified Tracking – One Tracking Number for Multiple Carriers

Mario Labault
March 3, 2025 at 10:27 pm
Description: Aftership is a powerful tracking solution, but one major limitation is its inability to seamlessly track shipments handled by multiple carriers under a single tracking number. This creates gaps in tracking visibility, especially for cross-border shipments, multi-leg deliveries, or packages transferred between courier services. Why Aftership Needs ParcelApp Integration ParcelApp is a cutting-edge tracking solution that can consolidate multiple carrier updates into a single tracking number, ensuring a continuous, uninterrupted tracking experience—something Aftership currently lacks. Integrating ParcelApp into Aftership would provide several benefits: One Tracking Number, Full Visibility Many shipments pass through multiple carriers (e.g., a package starts with FedEx, then transfers to USPS). ParcelApp aggregates tracking data across different couriers, allowing customers to track their shipments without needing multiple tracking numbers or checking different carrier websites. Eliminate Tracking Gaps & Improve Accuracy Currently, when a package changes carriers, Aftership often loses visibility until the new carrier scans the shipment. With ParcelApp’s integration, tracking would remain consistent, even if the carrier changes mid-transit. Essential for Cross-Border and Dropshipping Businesses Global commerce relies on multi-carrier logistics. Many eCommerce sellers and dropshipping businesses depend on third-party logistics providers (3PLs) that transfer packages between multiple carriers before final delivery. ParcelApp ensures that customers don’t lose visibility just because a package has switched to a new courier. Enhanced Customer Experience & Reduced Support Inquiries When customers see tracking gaps, they flood support teams with "Where is my order?" questions. By integrating ParcelApp, Aftership can provide end-to-end tracking accuracy, reducing customer frustration and cutting down unnecessary support requests. Proposed Solution: Integrate ParcelApp (https://parcelsapp.com/) directly into Aftership’s tracking system to allow shipments with multiple carriers to be tracked under a single tracking number. Ensure that ParcelApp's multi-carrier tracking capabilities work seamlessly within Aftership’s dashboard, API, and branded tracking pages. Offer this as a standard feature for all Aftership users, as it enhances the core value of Aftership by improving tracking consistency, accuracy, and customer satisfaction. By adding this integration, Aftership would take a huge leap forward in solving a major pain point for businesses and customers alike, making it an even more indispensable tracking solution in the logistics and eCommerce space.

Preview and Explanation of Merchandising Strategies

Amelia Robinson

While using personalization, I want to understand the actual product results generated by these algorithms and the reason behind the chosen product displays for shoppers.   If I can preview the recommendation results in the admin, it would reduce uncertainty, ensure optimal outcomes, and improve my marketing strategies to boost conversions.

Currently you can manually refund the shipping fee in the admin manually, but would like the ability for it to be automatic.

SMS opt in at customer level

Isabella Davis

As a retailer, it would be great if customer preferences can be collected and determine whether to send an SMS notification based on the subscription status synchronized via API.   Moreover, a customer-facing page that allows users to manage their preferences would be even better. We would love to communicate more with our shoppers, which will efficiently improve our customer satisfaction and brand reputation.

Accurate tracking

Sara Sellar

My package is currently reading that it is out for delivery in my area, but is still showing to be located in a totally different country so the tracking needs to be updated and fixed because this has been an ongoing issue that I've contacted them about for support and it's still reading the same way

There should be an option to just cancel the return without rejecting it.  Sometimes client decide to bring it to a store after doing the initial return.

Customs clearance fees charged by shipping carriers

Yuichi Tanaka
August 27, 2026 at 12:14 pm
We are able to retrieve shipping rates for each carrier, but we would also like customs clearance fees and other charges available through each carrier’s API to be integrated via API as well. This is especially important for DDP shipments. Some information that can be retrieved through the carrier APIs cannot be retrieved through AfterShip, which means we would need to connect to each carrier’s API separately.

Free shipping thresholds customization

Avery Bailey

I want to fully customize different free shipping thresholds for different currencies/regions.   This would better compensate for my shipping costs in different currencies and may also increase the order value.

Tracking dynamic updates for Emails

Sophia Anderson
March 8, 2024 at 3:29 pm
I guess for shipping emails sent out to my customers, it would be nice to have dynamic info that updates as the package progresses through the network. I also want all my existing emails to stay current.   The reason is simply that I wanna give my customers a unified experience by delivering consistent messages to them. I believe this will help with my customer satisfaction.

Tracking by Account Number

Chris Nichols
November 6, 2024 at 10:34 pm
As a user, I'd like the ability to pull in tracking numbers to my dashboard by parcel account number so that I can view all shipments assigned to a specific or multiple parcel accounts.   For example I have 10 parcel accounts (4 with DHL and 6 with FedEx). I'd like the ability to utilize the parcel account number(s) instead of the API to pull in tracking associated with my parcel accounts.
