Custom Carrier Trackers
Add custom tracking methods to Magento, disable default tracking methods and make tracking links in emails clickable for your customers. All using the Custom Carrier Trackers extension by XTENTO.
Out of the box, Magento only offers three tracking methods: UPS, USPS and FedEx. That's often not enough. In case you want to add custom tracking methods to Magento, because you're shipping using a custom carrier for example and want your customers to be able to track their orders shipped using these custom carriers, this extension is what you're looking for.
This extension gives you the ability to set up ten new tracking methods in Magento. You don't have to set up ten new trackers in Magento - just set up the new trackers you need. The carrier/tracking name and the tracking URL is freely configurable, you can make it say whatever you want.
The tracking number gets replaced in the tracking URL automatically, just use the #TRACKINGNUMBER# variable and the actual tracking number will show up in the tracking URL. It is also possible to output the recipients postcode in the tracking URL by using the #ZIP# variable. No need to use the non-trackable default "Custom" tracker anymore.
Also, by setting up the carriers tracking URL, you will give your customers the ability to track their orders directly from the shipment email they receive. This very important feature does not work out of the box in Magento.
It is also possible to disable and hide all or some of the default Magento tracking methods (UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL) using this extension.
Features
- Adds 10 new completely generic trackers in Magento
- Each tracker is freely configurable, change the name and tracking URL as required
- Tracking number and postcode get replaced in the tracking URL automatically
- Give your customers the ability to track their order directly from the shipment email
- Comes with a list of known URLs of often used carriers
- Default Magento tracking methods can be disabled and hidden
- Simple installation - upload and use!
This extension is also compatible with our Simplify Bulk Order Processing and Tracking Number Import extensions. Custom tracking methods added using this extension can be used for bulk shipping and imported tracking numbers and so on.
Additional Information
List of tracking urls that comes with the extension includes carriers from Germany (DPD, DHL, GLS, Hermes, UPS), UK (DHL, DPD, Fedex, Hermes EU, Royal Mail, Parcel Force, Fastway), NL (Post NL), IT (Bartolini, Fedex, TNT, UPS) and even more - updated frequently. Not sure if your carrier supports a tracking URL with a tracking number? Looking for the URL? Get in touch with us, we'll be happy to help.
An example tracking URL used for a custom tracking method with a replaceable tracking number variable would be: http://nolp.dhl.de/nextt-online-public/set_identcodes.do?lang=de&idc=#TRACKINGNUMBER#
The recipients postcode can be output in the tracking URL as well. Just use the #ZIP# variable. Example tracking URL: http://www.postnlpakketten.nl/klantenservice/tracktrace/basicsearch.aspx?lang=nl&B=#TRACKINGNUMBER#&P=#ZIP#

Custom Carrier Trackers 8 8Simply PERFECT! I have bought this extension and must admit I'm very happy to have done it. The extension work realy great, do what it should do without any problem or error and is a great improvement for my customer as we use a "not usual" Carrier. Have tryed Xtento support too as on first step I have bought the extension for install it myself but something "was strange" it seems to not install regulary. Opened a ticket and they solved the problem super fast, and it not was a problem of their extention but related to my Magento. Have tryed even the payd installation service as there was some issue with my Magento installation and some conflict and they handled it realy fast and professional. A very good extension, not expensive, with a super support not expensive too. May 15, 2013Excellent Works just as advertised with no set-up problems. Install and go. Now customers receive clickable link in their dispatch email and in their account pages. Admin can track orders with one click. No more copying and pasting tracking codes as we used to have to do. Simple but very effective module. Saves time for us and makes it easier for customers to track their orders (and less need for them to contact us after dispatch) Also works perfectly with xtentos simplify order processing module. With the 2 together, the clickable tracking link appears right in the order grid.. Even better... Highly recommended April 23, 2013Excellent extension and top support! Works as advertised and does not mess up the Magento core... Really fast and capable support, Sebastian sorted out my problem with a custom tracker code within 1 hour! March 27, 2013Great usefull extension Worked perfect in a heavy modified template. Here´s a useful tip (thanks to XTENTO support): You can add the shipping tracking box to any e-mail template, just edit your Email transaction templates and add this: {{block type='core/template' area='frontend' template='email/order/shipment/track.phtml' shipment=$shipment order=$order}} March 14, 2013Still haven't tried this extension, but it has a problem for some cases : for commercial reasons, it is associated with a single domain. That means that you cannot work with multiple versions of the same site : local, test, production... October 16, 2012Works perfectly for mage 1.6.1. Easy to install and if necessary the assistance is fast and very kind. Thank you! September 18, 2012a fantastic extention, works without any problems under 1.7.0.1 for all those are not using those standard shipping companys the perfect solution to provide the customer with the correct tracking informations. installing and customizing is easy, even if the tracking code is not mention in the added list. we highly do recommend this tracker!! thanks a lot!! July 2, 2012Our experience with this module and the support staff are excellent. The module works just as it is described...I had a small issue with setup of our tracking link, however, support was able to respond and resolve the issue immediately. NICE EXTENSION...I highly recommend this for everyone's store!!!! March 6, 20121-8 of 8- Q&A
