Depending on which courier(s) you use with Shiptheory to send your BigCommerce shipments, you may notice that once booked and dispatched, not all of your BigCommerce contain a tracking link to your shipment.

This shipment has a full tracking link. Some shipments will show the parcel tracking number but it won't be clickable


BigCommerce uses a system called AfterShip to provide tracking links for shipments. Unfortunately, not all couriers supported by Shiptheory are supported by AfterShip.


Please be assured that Shiptheory will always post a shipment tracking number back to your BigCommerce shipment (where a tracking number is produced).


Royal Mail Tracking Link in BigCommerce


As of March 1st, 2020, BigCommere no longer supports Royal Mail tracking links. As a result, when Shiptheory adds Royal Mail tracking numbers on BigCommere orders, the carrier name and link will not be available. This is a restriction in the BigCommerce. At the current time, there is no way for Shiptheory to add the carrier name "Royal Mail" to your BigCommerce orders.


If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to get in touch with Shiptheory Support
