Delivery tracking
Shop helps you keep track of all of your deliveries in one place. You can link a Gmail account for automated tracking, or add tracking numbers manually.
How delivery tracking works
For orders that have a valid tracking number, Shop provides you with delivery updates along the way, which are based on carrier information.
All of the orders that you’re tracking with Shop are listed on the home tab. Shop can locate and track orders automatically in the following situations:
- When you connect a Gmail address to Shop, the app locates orders based on your emails.
- When you connect any email address or phone number to Shop that’s also associated with Shop Pay, the app locates orders from Shopify stores based on your account information.
If you use a non-Gmail account, then you can also add tracking information for a delivery manually. When you sign in with Apple instead of a Gmail account, you need to add delivery tracking information manually to Shop.
Tracking deliveries with a Gmail account
After you connect a Gmail account to Shop, the app automatically scans for emails with keywords like “tracking number” and “track your package” to find deliveries. When Shop finds a new tracking number, the delivery appears in the app where you receive shipping updates.
Shop uses order and delivery information to provide as much detail as possible about your orders. When you connect your Gmail address to Shop, you need to grant the app permissions to read tracking information about orders in your email. Shop doesn’t have the ability to create emails from your account. Shop uses automatic filtering in Gmail to match keywords like, “tracking number” and, “track your package”.
If one of your deliveries isn’t showing up automatically, then it could be because we had issues tracking it on our end. You can search for the related email from Shop to locate the tracking information and automatically report an issue to our team so that we can investigate. You can also add the related order tracking information to Shop manually.
Add delivery tracking information manually
You can add tracking information for any deliveries, so that you can keep track of all of your deliveries from Shop.
You need to locate the tracking information for a delivery that you want to track so that you can add it to Shop. Tracking information for online orders can usually be found in the order confirmation step of checkout, in an order confirmation email, or from your customer account for a store.
Steps
- From the home tab in Shop, tap the + button.
- Enter the order’s tracking number, and then enter the shipping carrier and order name.
- Tap Add package to start tracking the delivery.
You can edit tracking information for orders that you add to Shop.
Viewing your deliveries in Shop
You can view your deliveries from the home tab. Tap any order to see more details and track the delivery in real-time.
Tracking updates might be shown in a different time zone because they're based on your delivery's location at the time of the update.
Archiving an order
View archived orders anytime, in the Archived list on your profile tab. You can archive an order so that it doesn’t appear in your home tab.
Steps
- From the home tab in Shop, swipe left on an order.
- Tap Archive.
Deleting an order
You can delete an order to remove it from Shop. You can’t recover an order once it’s deleted.
Steps
- From the home tab in Shop, swipe left on an order.
- Tap ... More.

Marking an order as delivered
If the carrier didn’t mark your order as delivered, then you can mark it as delivered.
Steps
- From the home tab in Shop, swipe left on the order.
- Tap Mark as delivered. You will no longer receive updates for this order, and can also choose to archive or delete it from Shop.
If you mark an order as delivered before it arrives, then your delivery will still come. You can unmark it as delivered by swiping left on the order, and tapping … More, and then Unmark as delivered.
Steps
- From the home tab in Shop, swipe left on the order you wish to unmark.
- Tap … More, and tap Unmark as delivered.
Editing an order in the Shop app
You can edit or add some information to your orders. If you add an order manually or import it from Gmail and it hasn’t yet been delivered, then you can edit the package name, tracking number, and carrier. If you add an order automatically and it hasn’t yet been delivered, then you can edit the order name.
Once an order has been delivered, only the package name can be edited.
Steps
- From the home tab in Shop, tap an order.
- Tap …, then Edit package.
- Update your order details, and tap Update package.
