Carrier Code and Tracking Number

Coldcart reports carrier code and their shipping tracking number back to Shopify when the fulfillment is created.

Updated over 4 months ago

Carrier codes: FedEx, CDL, UPS, LaserShip, OnTrac, Veho, Tusk, Local Delivery

The data is stored in the following Order Metafields:

  1. coldcart.order_tracking_number

  2. coldcart.order_carrier_code

By default, all metafields reported to Shopify are considered “unstructured” until the account admin adds definitions to them, even though the data is still being saved. Note, that the metafields will not be visible on the order until the definitions are added.

If you want to be able to see the carrier code and tracking data associated with an order, do the following:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Metafields and metaobjects.

  2. Select Orders

  3. Click View unstructured metafields or, if you have other options available, then click More actions > View unstructured metafields.

  4. Click Add definition next to the coldcart.order_tracking_number and then repeat for the coldcart.order_carrier_code .

  5. Fill out the Name field and optionally Description.

  6. Click Select type, and then select the Single line text content type.

  7. Skip the Validations section.

  8. In the Options, select Read and write API access and enable the Storefront API access.

  9. Click Save at the top of the page.

Now you’ll be able to see the Metafields on the Order page.
