Tracking deliveries for external couriers

Overview
When you enter a consignment note against shipment that contains the consignment’s tracking number, you will see a new “Track Shipment” button that will provide quick access to the status of the shipment.
We’ve enabled this for many of the default carriers in Readysell (including Australia Post, Couriers Please and Fastway) and you can easily add your own by setting the “Tracking URL” on the carrier. If you’re using our freight integration, we’ll automatically populate this for you and we’ve also added the “Consignment Note” field to the “Complete Sale” screen so that you can easily enter consignment details as part of your regular workflow.
