Description of operation
Content of both e-mail and SMS messages should contain a link to the order tracking page, which redirects users to the page with displayed elements of your graphical identity. On that page. all information needed is displayed more transparently, together with ordered products, store logos, and the possibility of being redirected to the other pages. The page supports:
- automatic status mapping of different delivery services to statuses that are understandable to your customers

- suggested products: display suggested products from your online store based on previous purchases with customer's redirection to the store in order to increase your sales and motivate him/her to purchase more
- subscribing to our e-mail/SMS notifications about changes in tracking status, which boosts the loyalty of your customers and decreases the amount of unclaimed parcels
