To work on Shopify store support can be a tough row to hoe as you have to deal with the avalanche of tickets every day. So it is very disappointing to understand that a huge piece of time you spend answering common post-purchase questions due to an unorganized tracking and notification system. According to the statistics, the number #1 question from support tickets is “Where is my order?” and its variations like “How can I track my international parcel?”, “Have you lost my order?”, etc.
And it’s quite expectable if your customers don’t get or don’t know how to get the relevant information about the parcel shipment. Tracking is an important part of customer service, so if you don’t pay it much attention, it will harm your brand reputation. The below you can find the level of customer service and the tracking requirements to achieve this level.
Bad Post-Purchase Service
You give customers the tracking number and the link with the order completion and now it’s customers’ duty to track it. If they lose this information, you’ll send it to them again.
Such service will bring nothing but doubts whether to purchase anything on this store once again.
Good Post-Purchase Service
You have a tracking page on your store, so customers can find their delivery status anytime by checking it online with a tracking number.
Excellent Post-Purchase Service
You keep customers aware of the latest delivery status via email, so they don’t track it themselves. This simple practice reduces customers' worries and doubts even if their parcel is delayed.
And we have good news! The Shopify app store has a bunch of solutions to support great post-purchase service in your store.
