How to Set Up a Track Order Page

“Where is my order?” is the email every store gets most. A Track Order page lets customers answer it themselves, including guests who have no account.

Activation publishes a page called Track Your Order at /track-order/, with the tracking form on it. Open Configuration → Track Order Page to see it picked, with its live address.

To use another page, add the Track Order block to it, or the shortcode:

[ddwcopb_track_order title="Where is my order?" button="Find my order"]

Then pick that page under Tracking Page and click Save Changes. The page must hold the form: picking it does not add one.

Add the page to your menu, footer or help pages. Guests’ email buttons already lead to it, with the order number filled in.

Open the page as a visitor, type an order number and the billing email, and click Track Order.

The tracking form

On the demo, Nina’s guest order #1239 showed its date and the live bar.

The lookup result

A wrong email gets the same answer as a wrong number, so the page cannot be used to find other people’s orders.

We could not find an order with those details

  • Each visitor gets 10 attempts every 15 minutes. Behind a CDN, read Behind a CDN or proxy.
  • The form works on cached pages, because it needs no security token.
  • Every successful lookup is counted on the dashboard under Tracking Lookups.
