Tracking Instructions

URLs to tracking pages. We have given you the ability to set 4 tracking for 4 separate carriers. Below are the fields as shown in Application.cfm. There are 4 sets of 3 fields. The X will be replaced with the number for each set, 1 thru 4.

The example below uses UPS, FedEx and USPS (who doesn't have a direct tracking link that we know of at this point, so the carrier_X_url list item isn't used). These may be changed if you use different shippers, ur simple remove the value from the attributes.carrier_X variable to disable any. You do not have to set these in order. In other words, you can use the attributes.carrier_3 set without using 1, 2 and 4.

The attributes.carrier_X_url value with the embedded link will always have xoxo-oxox where the tracking number goes.

Note! If you are using UPS Online® Tools Tracking Tool, you must be registered to use UPS Online® Tools.

As of the date this documentation was written, here are the entries for UPS, FedEx and US Postal. These variables are already set for you in Application.cfm, except for the UPS Tracking from the UPS web site. You can copy and replace the attributes.carrier_1 set of variables to use UPS tracking directly at the UPS website.

Once again. To disable any of these, simply remove the attributes.carrier_X value. Or replace any with your own if you use a different carrier. The exception to this is if using UPS Online Tools, you must use the carrier_1 set of attributes for UPS.

UPS Online® Tools Integrated Into Site. Change "www.yourdomain.com/example.cfm" to point to the page where you will be integrating the ups tracking tag.
