- Once you have uploaded tracking information, a dispatch notification email will be sent to the customer. Please do not upload tracking information until the order has been dispatched to avoid confusion for customers.
- Orders will not be processed for payment unless tracking information has been provided correctly in the Marketplace.

How to manually add tracking and mark an order as dispatched
Firstly locate the order in your marketplace portal by either:
- Search - input the order number in the search box on the homepage
- Client List Page - go to the My Deals tab (located in the header section) and select ‘View Customers’ next to the specific deal name. This will open the customer list for the product where you can filter by Order No. or Shipping Status to bring up the order.
Secondly, add the tracking details:
- Click the ‘Add Tracking’ button located inside the ‘Shipping Status’ column
- Input the Tracking Number and Courier name into fields and click Save (both fields are required).
- Once tracking has been added successfully:
- The shipping status label will update from ‘Pending Dispatch’ to ‘Dispatched’.
- The customer will receive a notification that their order has been dispatched.
Important things to keep in mind:
- Do not add tracking number and courier information if the order is not dispatched.
- Do not use the tracking number and courier fields for dispatch notes, use the order notes field. Learn more about order notes
- If an order is dispatched without tracking (not recommended) then input the date as the tracking number and enter "no tracking number" in the courier field to mark the order as dispatched.
- You can edit the tracking and courier name at any time. Removing the tracking and courier name completely and clicking save will result in the shipping status changing back to ‘Pending Dispatch’.
Please note: For the information to update, you must click ‘SAVE’. If you attempt to input tracking information to another order before saving the current one, an error message will pop up.
