How to use the Shipment Tracking QR Generator
One scan, no typing
Tracking numbers are long, and one mistyped character gives a stranger's parcel or an error page. A tracking QR removes the typing: the scan opens the carrier's tracking page with the number already filled in. Print the code on the parcel label and on the order confirmation, and keep the tracking number readable in plain text beside it as a fallback. Buyers check tracking far more often than sellers expect, so every scan that works is a support message you never receive.
Carrier links change
Carriers redesign their tracking pages from time to time, and a tracking URL that worked last year may redirect or break. Before a big dispatch run, scan a sample label and confirm the carrier page opens with the tracking number applied. If you ship with a carrier not listed here, use the Custom option with your own tracking page URL, and make sure that page reads the tracking parameter.
What the code does not do
The code carries the tracking link, not the parcel's live status. Status comes from the carrier's page after the scan. The code cannot tell you where the parcel is, and it cannot update itself if the carrier changes the tracking number. If a parcel is re-labelled, generate a fresh code for the new number and use that one on the label.
