Order Status and tracking number

[Patrick]

I came across a module created by a Company called "Comcation" that said
it would allow us to add a shipment tracking option to our website.
When I spoke with our hosting company they said that Comcation and
ShopSite had a "falling out".

Does anybody know about this company? Or, does anybody know of the best
way to offer this information with ShopSite. Thanks for any help.

I've been biting my tongue on this one for a while. I made an inquiry to Comcation a while back and without going into detail, let me just say I left the conversation with them very upset.

If you're interested in real time order status and tracking, I have a guy who can write the script. It will just cost us the going rate... I'd love to find 6 partners to slit the cost. Interested?

I don't know if you have multiple shipping options, but if you ship with
UPS they will provide you with the code to integrate their tracking
system into your website. This is not Shopsite dependant - it will work
on any site.

Here's ours:

I don't know if FedEx or any of the other shipping companies offer a
similar service.

Somewhere down below in this forum I have this all explained. It goes beyond UPS tracking. It will let a customer log in and see that their entire order where one item is waiting for a fresh batch to arrive (backordered), one item is being shipped separately (drop ship), 4 items were shipped on this date, 2 items were returned and a credit issued...this is a current status of each item in the order, not just the UPS tracking number and link to their tracking page. And each merchant can have as many statuses to suit your own needs. This is real time status, just like the big guys and gals use and it's pretty much automated with the right software. 6 more merchants at somewhere around $600 each is the rough estimate I got. You can sign up below if you're interested...more details available when we get 3 merchants to somewhat commit and you'll all have input to what you need.

I am certain there has been no "falling out" between ShopSite and Comcation.
They still sell and support ShopSite, and ShopSite, Inc. still sells it to
them and supports their support.

curious to see what is needed to get it done. Perhaps I know a company that
can do it fore less?

Thanks, Kevin kevin@vantelweb
